TikTok Ads allow you to tailor messages and offers to specific locations including countries, regions, states, provinces, metro areas, cities, zip codes and more. Some targeting options are not available in all countries or regions.
Note:
If you are targeting multiple countries, locations may have regional descriptions (ex. Counties, Districts, etc.) in Ads Manager aligning with local definitions.
Where available, TikTok enables advertisers to target up to 1500 location selections at a time, per ad group.
Zip code targeting can be used in instances where an advertiser needs to target a more granular location than DMA or city. For example, if an advertiser provides services to only a portion of a city.
A zip code or postal code prefix might not be targetable because it's either invalid, has not been made available due to ad policy requirements, or has not launched in those areas.
TikTok does not support zip code + 4 targeting. If an advertiser tries to upload zip + 4, they will receive an error message.
Targeting ad campaigns to small geographic areas or sets of zip codes can significantly reduce the number of impressions and clicks delivered, and may result in a higher CPA.
Some advertisers may be subject to the Housing, Employment, and Credit ad policy.
Location targeting is based on a variety of signals to serve ads to users who align with your location targeting selections. Due to the fact that signals vary, our delivery is not guaranteed.
