A new business tool from TikTok uncovers audience insights that can assist with planning paid and organic content strategies.

Aimed at advertisers, the audience insights tool resides in TikTok Ads Manager. However, you don’t need to pay for advertising to use it.

The tool’s insights can help guide organic and paid content plans, as they’re based on data from all users across TikTok. You can explore user interests, behaviors, and demographics to find new ways to reach your customers.

One of its more intriguing features is the ability to explore the top ten hashtags your audience engages with. You can start appending those hashtags to your videos to quickly and easily boost engagement.

Further, you can define your own audience and filter information using a robust set of filters.

Here’s more about the data provided by TikTok Audience Insights.
