How to update the knowledge base for your TikTok Lead Genie

Last updated: September 2025

The knowledge base powers your TikTok Lead Genie. Keeping the knowledge base up to date is important because it helps your Lead Generation Assistant:

  • Deliver accurate answers: Your chatbot responds to customer queries using your business information, not generic data.

  • Get smarter with more content: The more you add about your products, services, and FAQs, the more effective your chatbot becomes, like having a top sales representative on your team.

  • Build trust with up-to-date info: Fresh, accurate content helps reduce errors and ensures quicker, more relevant responses.

Before you begin
