  • Capture visibility in TikTok For You feed, Following feed, search results, shop tab, recommendations, and more.

  • Manage traffic consistency to the shop.

  • Reach relevant audiences.

  • Optimize budget for ROAS (return on ad spend).

  • Maximize GMV of top products, increase sales of mature products, and test new products.

  • Maximize views of high GPM (GMV per impression) videos, continue getting sales from both newer and older videos, and test different video content.

  • Using ads reporting, understand content level results, product level results, audience behavior, and more.
