For Gen Z, TikTok is the new search engine.
40% of people between 18-25 prefer it as their search engine.
And it surpassed Google in traffic last year.
If you want to grow your brand in 2023, TikTok SEO is crucial.
Here are 5 tips to create content that ranks in 2 min:
1. TikTok Is Optimizing For Search
β€’ It added recommended search queries
β€’ It increased the character count to 2200 so you can add more context and keywords.
β€’ And EVEN Google now lists TikTok short form video within its SERPS
2. Own a search query
Here's the growth opportunity...
If you can own a search query, TikTok becomes a growth machine.
But first, you need to find the search queries with potential.
Example ⬇️
The hashtag # sidehustle has 11.7B views, vs. # boringbusiness has 58.1M views.
# sidehustle has:
β€’ High search volume
β€’ High relevance
β€’ High keyword difficulty
In comparison, # boringbusiness has:
β€’ Medium search volume
β€’ High Relevance
β€’ Low to medium kw difficulty
3. What's The Formula For The Perfect Search Queries:
β€’ Medium Search Volume
β€’ High Relevance
β€’ Low to Medium Keyword difficulty
4. How To Rank
Here’s the recipe:
β€’ Select the keyword you want to rank for
β€’ Inject it into your cover photo, in-video text, what you say, and captions
β€’ Add the relevant hashtag and supporting hashtags

5. How To Use TikTok's SEO To Grow
Find low to medium difficulty search queries and create a TikTok series around them.
For example:
β€’ Take the hashtag # boringbusiness
β€’ Create a series called β€œBoring Business Ideas To Start In 2023”
Why?
β€’ You rank for "Boring Business Ideas"
β€’ The series means you have a backlog of "Boring Business Ideas" videos
β€’ This backlog sends viewers to go down your content rabbit hole
This rabbit hole helps expedite the process of: Unaware β†’ Follower β†’ Fan.
