TikTok comes for Google’s ad business as it starts letting advertisers target its search results page

TikTok Says Brands Will Be Able to Reach Users When They Are Actively Exploring Content and Looking for Something Specific

After building out its Search product over the past few years to take on Google, TikTok is now taking its Search ambitions even further by allowing advertisers to target its search results page. TikTok announced on Tuesday that it’s launching the “TikTok Search Ads Campaign,” a new keyword-based search solution that enables brands to appear in search results.

While TikTok’s search results page already includes ads, brands will now have full control over how their content appears on the page. Given TikTok’s influence on users’ shopping behavior, it makes sense for the company to give brands a way to reach consumers while actively searching for something.
