Track Your Instagram Unfollow Progress in Google Sheets

Export non-follower data from Instagram Unfollow Pro into Google Sheets for historical tracking, pattern analysis, and measurable follower ratio improvements.

Last updated: March 7, 2026

Instagram Unfollow Pro identifies accounts that don't follow you back and gives you tools to clean up your following list. But if you want to measure how your follower ratio improves over time, spot patterns in who never follows back, or share progress reports with a team, Google Sheets is the ideal companion. By exporting your non-followers list periodically and logging results in a spreadsheet, you turn one-off cleanup sessions into a data-driven Instagram growth strategy.

Step-by-Step Guide

1

Run a non-followers scan in Instagram Unfollow Pro

Open Instagram Unfollow Pro while logged into your Instagram account. Navigate to the Non-Followers tab and let the extension scan your following list. Use the built-in filters to refine your results:

  • Inactive accounts — accounts that haven't posted recently
  • Low follower count — accounts with very few followers of their own
  • Account age — how long ago you followed them

Scroll through the results to load the full list. The extension detects accounts as you scroll, so make sure you've reached the end before exporting.

Tip:Run your first scan with no filters applied to get a baseline count of all non-followers. Record this number — it's your starting point for measuring progress.
2

Export the non-followers list as CSV

Once your scan is complete, click the Export button in Instagram Unfollow Pro to download a CSV file. The export typically includes:

  • Username and display name
  • Follower and following counts
  • Post count
  • Bio snippet
  • Verified status

Save the file with a date-stamped name like ig-non-followers-2026-03-07.csv so you can track exports chronologically.

Tip:Store all your export files in a dedicated Google Drive folder called "Instagram Cleanup Data" so they're accessible from any device and backed up automatically.
3

Import the CSV into Google Sheets

Open Google Sheets and create a new spreadsheet called Instagram Unfollow Tracker. To import your CSV:

  1. Go to File → Import
  2. Select Upload and choose your CSV file
  3. Set Import location to Insert new sheet(s) so each export gets its own tab
  4. Set Separator type to Comma
  5. Click Import data

Rename the imported sheet tab to the export date (e.g., "2026-03-07"). Over time, you'll build a collection of tabs showing your non-followers at different points, making it easy to compare snapshots.

Tip:Apply alternating row colors (Format → Alternating colors) and freeze the header row to make large lists easier to scan visually.

Build a progress dashboard

Create a new sheet tab called Dashboard and set up columns to track your cleanup progress over time:

  • Date — the export date
  • Total Following — how many accounts you follow
  • Non-Followers — how many don't follow back
  • Follower Ratio — followers ÷ following (formula: =Followers/Following)
  • Unfollowed This Session — accounts removed since last export
  • Cumulative Unfollowed — running total of accounts removed

Add conditional formatting: highlight the ratio cell green when it exceeds 1.0 and red when it drops below 0.7. Insert a line chart to visualize how your ratio trends upward as you clean up your following list.

Tip:Use COUNTIF across two snapshot tabs to find accounts that appear in both — these persistent non-followers are safe to unfollow since they've had months to follow back and haven't.
5

Set up a recurring cleanup schedule

Consistent tracking produces the most useful data. Choose a schedule that fits your Instagram activity level:

  • Weekly — best during an active cleanup phase when you're unfollowing 50-100 accounts per session
  • Bi-weekly — good for steady maintenance and monitoring follow-back rates after engagement campaigns
  • Monthly — sufficient for accounts in maintenance mode after an initial deep cleanup

Each session follows the same loop: scan in Instagram Unfollow Pro, export CSV, import to Sheets, update your dashboard, then perform unfollows based on what the data shows.

Tip:Set a recurring Google Calendar reminder with a direct link to your tracking spreadsheet so you never miss a session and can jump straight into the workflow.
