Ep 224 The Secrets to Incredible Results Using TikTok Ads With Jordan West

Advertising on TikTok has a three-tier campaign structure that bears a striking similarity to Facebook Ads. If you are already familiar with Facebook Ads, this framework will feel very intuitive. The structure consists of three levels:

Campaign Level: This is where you define your objective and set your budget. Similar to Facebook Ads, TikTok allows you to utilize Campaign Budget Optimization (CBO). While CBO is a feature that can optimize the performance by adjusting the budget dynamically across ad sets, some marketers are still cautious due to TikTok being a relatively new platform. Therefore, it is recommended to split test this feature to see how it performs for your specific campaigns or even consider hiring an agency like Mindful Marketing to help you with these tests.
Ad Group Level: The next layer down is the ad group. It's crucial to populate each ad group with multiple ads. TikTok's platform strongly advises having at least five ads per ad group. The rationale behind this recommendation is that TikTok users are accustomed to seeing a constant flow of fresh content; therefore, repetitiveness can quickly become a negative factor.
Ad Level: This is where you create and manage the individual ads. Having a rotation of five different creatives within each ad group is vital. This ensures that users are engaged and not turned off by seeing the same ad repeatedly. Variety keeps the content fresh and engaging which is essential for maintaining user interest on TikTok.

By following these guidelines and continually testing different configurations, you can effectively optimize your TikTok ad campaigns.
