Preparing Your Campaign

Once you have your landing page and thank you page ready, you can proceed to create your TikTok Ads campaign. Keep in mind that TikTok is now closely monitoring spam and policy violations, so your landing page must adhere to their guidelines. Key areas to focus on include:

Commitments: Ensure you’re not making unrealistic claims about your product.
Trademarks: Avoid using any trademarked content without permission.
Content Accuracy: Make sure your product information is accurate and not misleading.
Counterfeit Goods: Do not sell or misrepresent counterfeit products.

This compliance will help you in running a successful campaign.

Creating Your Ads Campaign

When setting up your campaign, select the conversion option for your landing page. For this tutorial, let’s set a campaign budget of 500,000 BN per day as a test.

Next, you need to create your TikTok Pixel. Follow these steps:

Click on "Create New Pixel."
Select "Connect Data Source," then choose "Web," and opt for "Manual Setup."
Name your pixel and click the next button.
In the pixel setup section, select the "Complete Registration" event and uncheck the conversion rule for button click events. Select "Consideration" for content view and customize it based on your product.
After creating the event, copy the pixel code.

Setting Up the Landing Page

Now, head over to your landing page settings. You can follow these steps:

Access the gear icon section.
Select "JavaScript Network" and paste the TikTok Pixel code.
Edit your landing page's interface by navigating to the gear icon.
Choose the live stream code and paste it where necessary.
For the thank you page, repeat the process by copying the map and attaching it to your thank you page.

Once all modifications are made, save and publish your updates.

Tracking Events

To set up event tracking, follow these steps:

Click the continue button to create an event.
Enter the domain name of your product introduction page.
Choose the type of event you want to create. For instance, select "View Content" for when customers view the page, and select "Registration Completed" for when they are redirected to the thank you page after making a purchase.
Finally, copy the thank you page link and click save.

Once you finish registration, it will redirect you to the thank you page where you can confirm the details and costs for completing your campaign setup.
