Get started with TikTok Ad Manager

TikTok is more than just an entertainment platform; it’s a powerful engine that drives purchasing decisions. A great place to start is with a Web Traffic campaign. It’s the perfect first step to activate your TikTok marketing with TikTok Ad Manager, for a few simple reasons:

  • Incremental reach at scale: TikTok reaches audiences you can’t easily find elsewhere, with 68% of users unique to the platform and 9% more efficient reach to unique consumers versus other channels.
  • Launch Quickly, No Complex Setup: You can get started immediately without needing complicated pixel configurations or a long learning curve. Drive TikTok’s massive user base directly to your e-commerce site.
  • Control Costs, Test Flexibly: Test different creatives and products with a lower cost-per-click (CPC) to find your winning combination and gather valuable insights for future conversion campaigns.
  • Build a High-Value Audience: Drive high-quality visitors to your website and build your first-party data. You can use this audience for future retargeting to achieve more precise conversions.

How to launch your first Web Traffic campaign

  1. Set Your Goal: Choose “Web Traffic” as your marketing objective in the Ads Manager.
  2. Target Your Audience: Select users in your country/region and narrow down your potential customers using interest and age-based targeting.
  3. Set Your Budget: You can start your first campaign with a daily budget as low as a few dollars. We recommend using the “Maximize Delivery” bid strategy to let our system automatically find the most efficient traffic for you.
  4. Upload Your Creatives: No professional team needed! Use TikTok’s free creative tools to produce eye-catching video or image ads in minutes. Highlighting your product features or sale promotions works best!
