TikTok SEO

Buyers search TikTok before they search Google. Be there for the query.

TikTok SEO targets the searches people type into TikTok itself rather than chasing the For You page. It works on the spoken and on-screen words in your videos, the caption and the hook, because that is what TikTok indexes.

The problem

Chasing virality is a lottery. Search is a queue you can join.

A viral video is a spike that ends. A video that ranks for a search someone makes every week keeps working. TikTok reads spoken words, on-screen text and captions to answer those searches, and most ecommerce accounts optimise for none of it because they are producing for the feed.

What you get

Deliverables, not adjectives

A keyword bank per product category

What buyers actually type into TikTok search, with estimated demand and the hook type that suits each.

Hooks written for the first two seconds

The line that decides whether the video is watched, matched to the search it targets.

Formats that convert on this platform

Transformation, quick tip, comparison and process, chosen per keyword rather than per trend.

On-screen text and caption copy

Carrying the keyword where TikTok can read it.

Coverage tracking

Which searches you have a video for, and which are still open.

How it works

Four steps, in this order

The order matters. Everything after step one is built on it, so if the catalogue is read wrongly the rest inherits the mistake.

Map the catalogue

Categories come from your real collections.

Build the search bank

Terms buyers type, with demand and the format that suits each.

Write hooks and captions

So the video is both watchable and findable.

Fill the gaps

A shot list driven by open searches, not by trends.

Questions

What people ask before starting

Do we need to be on camera?
No. Process, product and hands-only footage performs well in ecommerce, and often better than a presenter.
Does this work without a big following?
Search results are not follower-weighted the way the feed is, which is what makes it viable early.
Do you edit the videos?
We provide the keyword, hook, format and copy. Filming and editing sit with you unless you want them added.
How often should we post?
Steadily. Covering open searches matters more than frequency — one video per real search beats five for the same one.
