What is TikTok SEO?<\/span><\/h2>\n

TikTok SEO is the practice of optimizing your videos on TikTok to rank higher in search. Just as you would use keywords and analytics to optimize the content on your website, you can also use these tactics to help your TikTok videos show up in more search results\u2013this includes results on TikTok, as well as Google.<\/p>\n

But wait. TikTok isn\u2019t a search engine, right? Maybe not technically<\/em>, but it still has its own search bar, making SEO an important part of the platform. In fact, Google\u2019s own data found that 40% of young people<\/a> primarily use TikTok and Instagram for search.<\/p>\n

And, although social media posts on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and the like were not indexed by Google in the past, they now show up in the SERPs. Fancy that!<\/p>\n

\"google\n<\/picture>\n<\/a><\/figure>\n

Your TikTok SEO strategy should include both SEO for Google and SEO for TikTok search. That way, you\u2019re giving your content a fighting chance in all of the biggest online search arenas.<\/p>\n

TikTok SEO ranking factors<\/span><\/h2>\n

To understand TikTok SEO, you first need to understand what TikTok looks for<\/a> when ranking content. There are several core ranking factors for the TikTok algorithm<\/a>. These are:<\/p>\n

User interactions<\/h3>\n

User interactions can include anything from videos you\u2019ve liked, videos you\u2019ve hidden, videos you\u2019ve added to your favorites, and videos you watch all the way to the end<\/a>. TikTok takes note of all of this data and uses it to determine which videos to show you.<\/p>\n

Video information<\/h3>\n

All of the information contained in a video can affect its ranking on TikTok. This includes captions, hashtags, sound effects, and music. TikTok looks for videos that contain relevant keywords in their titles and descriptions, as well as videos that cover trending topics.<\/p>\n

Devices and account settings<\/h3>\n

These are settings TikTok uses to optimize performance. They include language preference, country setting (you may be more likely to see content from people in your own country), type of mobile device, and categories of interest you selected as a new user.<\/p>\n

Note that while account settings do factor into your TikTok SEO ranking, they receive a lower weight than video info and user interactions.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s not included?<\/h3>\n

You\u2019ll be happy to hear that TikTok does not factor follower count into its SEO ranking algorithm (though, if you do want to get more followers<\/a>, we have you covered). This means that if you create great content that speaks directly to your target audience, you have as much chance of landing on their For You page as the biggest TikTok stars.<\/p>\n

This is what sets TikTok apart from other platforms like Instagram. And honestly? We\u2019re here for it.<\/p>\n

Google SEO ranking factors<\/span><\/h2>\n

Anyone who knows anything about SEO knows that Google\u2019s ranking factors aren\u2019t exactly the most transparent topic. That aside, there are a couple of things we know for sure. And, *spoiler alert*, these ranking factors are also going to be a big part of your TikTok SEO tips.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what Google looks for<\/a> when ranking search results.<\/p>\n

Keywords<\/h3>\n

These are the words and phrases that users type into a search engine when looking for answers. For example, someone looking for advice on keeping their hair healthy might search for \u201chair care.\u201d<\/p>\n

\""hair\n<\/picture>\n<\/a><\/figure>\n

Expertise<\/h3>\n

Google doesn\u2019t just give anyone the top search spot. To earn it, you have to be an authority on the topic.<\/p>\n

How do they know you\u2019re an authority? This part is a bit tricky. But, in essence, Google looks at how many other pages link to your page (this acts as a reference and shows what you\u2019re saying is true) and how popular those pages are. This basically means a link from Apple is going to be worth way more than a link from your brother\u2019s local pizza parlor. Sorry, Antonio.<\/p>\n

The good news for TikTok\u2019ers is that social media platforms (Instagram, TikTok, Facebook) are some of the most \u201cauthoritative\u201d sites in this world. So having a presence on these platforms, and having your content show up in Google search, can really help boost your discoverability.<\/p>\n

Relevance<\/h3>\n

A piece of content must be related to what users are searching for in order to get a good rank. No one wants to see a page on WWII history when they\u2019re looking for makeup brush cleaning tips.<\/p>\n

Freshness<\/h3>\n

Google generally prefers new content to old, though there are some exceptions to this rule. For example, Google says, \u201cThe freshness of the content plays a bigger role in answering queries about current news topics than it does about dictionary definitions.\u201d<\/p>\n

How to do TikTok SEO in 5 steps<\/span><\/h2>\n

Now that we know what TikTok and Google\u2019s search engines look for, here are our top TikTok SEO tips.<\/p>\n

1. Start with your audience<\/h3>\n

One of the most important aspects of TikTok SEO is understanding your audience. Knowing who they are and what they\u2019re looking for can help you create content that resonates with them.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re already active on TikTok, you may have a good idea of what your audience likes. If not, consider taking some time to get to know them better<\/a>. Look at the videos they\u2019re engaging with and the hashtags they\u2019re using. As well, look at the comments and messages they\u2019re sending you. This can help you get an idea of their interests so that you can create content tailored to them.<\/p>\n

\n

Why does this matter for SEO? Well, understanding your audience can help you craft better titles and descriptions for videos, making them easier to find in TikTok searches. Similarly, you want to create content that your audience wants to see. Or the content they are already searching for. This can give you a leg up when it comes to being discovered by new audiences, too.<\/p>\n

\n

2. Do keyword research<\/h3>\n

Keyword research is an essential part of traditional SEO, so it makes sense to use it on TikTok, too. Find out what words or phrases your target audience is using when searching for content like yours.<\/p>\n

Remember to consider different ways of phrasing a topic, as well as related keywords. You can do this through tools like Google Ads Keyword Planner<\/a>, SEMrush<\/a>, Ahrefs<\/a>, and more.<\/p>\n

\"semrush\n<\/picture>\n<\/a><\/figure>\n

Keep in mind these tools are scraping data from Google itself\u2013not TikTok. Because SEO in TikTok is so new, there aren\u2019t currently any TikTok SEO tools that can tell you what people are searching for on TikTok.<\/em><\/p>\n

But don\u2019t get discouraged. The best way to figure out what people are searching for on TikTok is to use the TikTik platform directly. Simply go to TikTok, open the search bar, and enter any keywords you\u2019ve pulled from your TikTok keyword research.<\/p>\n

TikTok will automatically auto-populate the search bar with the most popular keywords related to your query. Look through what it shows you, and select any keywords that match up with your content.<\/p>\n

\"tiktok\n<\/picture>\n<\/a><\/figure>\n

If you want to see even more keyword ideas, try typing in your keyword followed by a single letter. TikTok will then show you all the related keywords that begin with your query and the letter you entered.<\/p>\n

For example:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hair care \u201cA.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"tiktok\n<\/picture>\n<\/a><\/figure>\n

Hair care \u201cB.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"tiktok\n<\/picture>\n<\/a><\/figure>\n

Hair care \u201cC.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"tiktok\n<\/picture>\n<\/a><\/figure>\n

You can keep repeating this process until you have a list of relevant hashtags<\/a> and keywords to use in your TikTok SEO strategy.<\/p>\n

3. Add keywords to your content<\/h3>\n

Once you have your TikTok keyword research completed, start adding them to your content in the titles, descriptions, and captions of your videos. This includes any on-screen text<\/a>, such as lyrics or explanations. <\/p>\n

\n

Also, be sure to say the keywords out loud! That\u2019s right, TikTok\u2019s algorithms prioritize videos where the keywords are actually spoken.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll also want to include your keywords in any hashtags you use, as this will help people find your posts more easily. Use both your main keyword and any variations of your keyword that make sense. But don\u2019t overdo it. Make sure you know the optimal number of hashtags<\/a> to use on each platform.<\/p>\n

Finally, add your most relevant target keywords to your TikTok profile. This will ensure that your profile is more visible when people search for these keywords. It also gives potential followers an idea of what kind of content you post and whether they should follow you.<\/p>\n

4. Add your TikTok to a microblog<\/h3>\n

This is the exciting part, where we get to mash everything we know about traditional SEO with everything we\u2019re learning about TikTok SEO!<\/p>\n

Blogging is a big part of ranking in Google search. Remember when we talked about Google prioritizing content that is relevant and fresh? Well, that\u2019s pretty much why blogs exist. What better way to keep your content fresh than to publish consistently?<\/p>\n

To leverage this technique for your TikTok SEO, create a microblog<\/a> post that discusses a particular topic related to your TikTok video. Be sure to include your main keyword in the title and your secondary or long-tail keywords in the subheadings and content of the post. Also, don\u2019t forget to embed your TikTok video in the blog, too!<\/p>\n
