Last updated: May 2024

I just submitted my account information, how long will it take to get approved?

Most account reviews take less than 24 hours to complete. Once we've reviewed your account we will notify you over email if you've been approved or not. Additionally, you can check your account approval status in the account setup page of your TikTok Ads Manager account.


I changed the URL of my promotion link, why hasn't my account been approved?

When you update the URL of your promotion link, you will automatically trigger a new account review. This process may take up to 24 hours. If it happens after 24 hours, it may be because the updated URL failed to pass review.


Can you approve my ad account if I don't use a website to promote my business?

Per our advertiser policies, we can only approve a TikTok For Business account if there is an official website. We understand that some businesses may use a social media profile as their official page, but we require an official website. Once you can update your account information with the URL of your official website, save the update to your Business Information and we will review your account.


I do not agree with your evaluation of my official website, what can I do?

Unfortunately, sometimes we get things wrong. If you feel your website was not reviewed properly, re-enter the promotional link and request a new account review. If you still do not agree with our decision, please raise a ticket under Account Review in TikTok Business Support within 3 working days.


Can I use my Instagram account as my promotion link?

Per our advertiser policies, we can only approve a TikTok For Business account if there is an official website.

If you have already tried using a social media account, update the URL of the company website and save the change.


I have provided all the correct account information, why isn't my account approved?
