What is a TikTok audit? 🤔
Let’s start with the basics—what is a TikTok audit? It’s an overall review of your TikTok account and presence. A TikTok audit is a full analysis of your profile, content strategy, follower engagement, and your competition’s performance.
When you regularly audit your account, you will be able to get even better insights into what’s working and what’s not working with your content strategy. Using this information, you can create content that works for your audience more and helps you grow your following!
Why should you do a TikTok audit? 🤷♂️
Well, as we mentioned above, it helps you figure out if your strategy on the platform is working or not. A thorough audit helps you get actionable insights, like what types of content perform best and what your fans want from you. Running an audit also helps you figure out what areas could use some work—like engaging with your audience, optimizing your profile, and more. Overall, you should do a TikTok audit because it’ll help you make better and more well-informed decisions to reach the goals you want.
How often should you audit your TikTok page? ⏰
Honestly, this one depends on you! If you’re noticing you’re not getting the results you want, you might want to do one once a month just to keep an eye on your platform and content.
The more experience you get and the more you experiment, you might want to audit every few weeks to make sure you’re staying on top of trends your audience likes and making content specifically curated to your niche.
How to audit your TikTok account 📝
Now that you can understand the basics, it’s time to dive into how to completely audit your TikTok.
Optimize your TikTok profile
Let’s start with your profile. Having a strong first impression is huge on TikTok, and if people are coming to your profile to click that “follow” button from a video of yours, you need to make sure people know what they’re getting from you!![tiktok audit profile]()
Profile Picture
Your profile picture should be clear, high-quality, and related to you, your brand, or whatever your niche is about. If your picture is old or doesn’t fit into your brand anymore, it’s time to switch it up! Update your photo to something that suits you more appropriately.
Bio
Your bio is the place where you should introduce yourself to the world—and to all the new followers you’re about to get. Besides your profile photo, your bio is the first thing people see when they come to your profile, so be sure to let them know what you’re all about.
You have 80 characters to convince people to give your account a follow, so use it wisely.
Call to action
If you want to engage your audience further and get them to do something next, adding a call to action (CTA) to your profile is important. You can have people head to your website, your Amazon shop, a podcast, a blog, and more by adding a simple CTA button.
Pinned posts
On TikTok, much like Instagram, you can pin posts to the top of your profile that people see first. Use this space by adding videos that explain you and your brand; your most viral content that showcases who you are; and more.
Playlists
TikTok playlists are a great way for people to categorize different videos that followers can easily consume in a single scroll. If you have various videos that make a cohesive story, add them to a playlist so people can find them and watch a continuous stream of your videos at once.
Audit your followers
Yes, we’re serious. You need to take a peek at the followers you have and audit them too! Who’s following you? What are their interests? What is the demographic? When conducting your audit, these are the things you should be doing:
Remove fake followers
While having a huge following looks nice, if they are all fake and not engaging with your content, what’s the point? Remember, folks: quality over quantity.
Analyze demographics
One of the best things you can do when it comes to auditing your TikTok account is to really dig into who your audience is. How old are they? Where do they live? What do they do? Knowing this information will help make sure you’re creating content that is tailored to them.
Dig into your content
Head into your analytics and find your top-performing pieces of content. Write down what you’re talking about. How are you speaking? Was it a trending audio? What was the focus or theme of the video? Here are the biggest things to think about when it comes to auditing your content:
Post format
What kind of posts does your audience enjoy? Are they carousel posts? Trending audios and filters? Stitches? Duets? How long are the videos they like the most?
Topics and ideas
What topics are people most interested in hearing about from you? If they like more of your promotional content, share more of that. If they like memes and trending filters, share more of those! Knowing which content your audience wants from you is super important to your audit.
Best time to post
Knowing the best time to post is important to growing on TikTok. Take a peek at how often, what time, and what day you’re posting that is getting the most attention and likes. Start experimenting with timings to see what works best for your account!
Spy on your competition
Yeah, we’re saying it! Spy on them. Check out the accounts of people who are doing really well in your space and niche. What are they doing right? What are they doing that you don’t agree with? Are there any holes that you could be filling when it comes to your own content?
This can help you figure out your overall content strategy and tweak it to fit your brand.
