Targeting by Demographics
Target specific annotator demographics to capture taste preferences from your intended audience.
Why Demographics Matter
Aesthetic preferences vary significantly across different demographic groups. Targeting ensures your taste profile reflects the preferences of your actual users.
Age-Appropriate Content
Gen Z prefers different visual styles than Millennials or Boomers.
Regional Preferences
Design tastes vary by country and culture.
Professional Context
B2B audiences have different aesthetic expectations than consumers.
Domain Expertise
Target annotators with specific knowledge (photography, design, etc.).

Configuring Demographic Filters
Set demographic filters on your project to control which annotators can participate. Filters are combined with AND logic (annotators must match all filters).

}'Filter Trade-offs
More restrictive filters produce more targeted data but reduce the pool of available annotators, potentially slowing down annotation speed. Start broad and narrow as needed.
Pricing Impact
Demographic targeting may affect pricing. Premium filters (Gold tier, specific expertise) typically require higher payment rates to attract qualified annotators.
| Filter Type | Suggested Minimum Rate |
|---|---|
| No targeting (all annotators) | 1-2 cents/annotation |
| Basic demographics (age, location) | 2-3 cents/annotation |
| Industry expertise | 3-5 cents/annotation |
| Gold tier annotators | 5-10 cents/annotation |
Best Practices
Match Your Users
If your product targets Gen Z in the US, use annotators from that demographic. Taste profiles trained on mismatched demographics may not resonate with your actual users.
Use Multiple Segments
For products serving diverse audiences, create separate projects for each demographic segment and compare results.
Validate with A/B Tests
Create profiles with different targeting and A/B test them with real users to validate which demographics produce the best-performing taste profiles.
Consider Cultural Nuances
Visual preferences vary significantly by culture. What's considered "premium" in one market may feel outdated in another.
