How to choose the right objective

Your advertising objective is a goal that you want to set and meet, so you can help grow your business and engage your audience. You can choose objectives from three categories in your TikTok Ads Manager account:

  • Awareness: Grow awareness about your business or product, and reach people who are most likely to view your ad and remember it.

  • Consideration: Get people to think about your business and seek more information.

  • Conversion: Encourage people to perform an action, such as buying your product or installing your app.
