What is Promote on TikTok?


Promote is an advertising tool that can help you improve engagement and visibility on your TikTok posts by promoting your content, typically as an ad.

With Promote, you can track information about your campaign, such as:
•  Engagement data: The number of post and profile views, new followers, likes, comments, clicks to your website, and more.
•  Audience insights: Gender, age, regions, and more.
•  Post status: The status of the post you promoted (pending review, active, paused, or rejected) and the length of your campaign.
•  Cost: The amount you spent on the campaign.

A few things to know about using Promote:
•  Promote is available to integrate with TikTok Ads Manager. Learn more about how to integrate Promote and TikTok Ads Manager on our Business Help Center.
•  Promote only improves your content's visibility on TikTok. To learn how to create content that connects with your audience, visit our Creator Academy.
