Influencer Log/Tracking

Hi all! I work for a gaming company that sells table top miniatures and board games as well role playing games like Dungeons and Dragons. We’ve been working with a lot of influencers recently on Tik Tok, IG, and YouTube and are having a hard time figuring out the best way to organize all the data to track each influencer’s post performance. We are monitoring likes, comments, and views. We tried using just an Excel file and it gets messy very quickly.  Does anyone use a different platform or service they love for influencer tracking or how do you all go about tracking influencer content?
