  • Hashtags: As on other social platforms such as Instagram, hashtags help categorize content and make it visible to a wider audience. Be specific and relevant with your hashtags to attract the right viewers. In addition, the text you write in the video is also included in the algorithm. Therefore, write out clearly what happens in the video so that TikTok knows what kind of video you posted.
