About Broad Targeting

Last updated: December 2024

Broad Targeting is an advertising approach that prioritizes reaching a wide range of potential audiences by setting the minimum number of targeting constraints on their ads. Using broad targeting allows you to achieve a Fairly Broad audience in the Audience Estimator. This is when those audiences can reach 80% or more of a country's total user accounts.

Benefits

  • Broad Targeting can help your ads reach new and larger audiences. It gives TikTok the most freedom to dynamically optimize your ad delivery for you.

  • Fairly Broad audiences achieve -15% lower Cost per Action (CPA) and 20% higher conversion rates on average compared to narrower audiences.


Recommendations

  • Don't Restrict Targeting Settings Unnecessarily: Set only the essential targeting constraints. Avoid unnecessary restrictions unless your product is unsuitable for a specific segment.

  • Evaluate Performance: While advanced targeting strategies exist, validate if they outperform broad targeting. On average, "Fairly Broad Audiences" outperform narrower audiences.
