TikTok Ad Best Practices (2026)

9-15s Golden Duration

TikTok's algorithm prioritizes short-form content. Videos between 9-15 seconds get the highest engagement and completion rates.

Hook in First 3 Seconds

Users decide whether to watch or scroll within the first 3 seconds. Start with a question, visual hook, or bold statement.

UGC Style Wins

Real people, handheld camera feel, and authentic storytelling outperform polished ads. UGC-style content sees 30%+ higher CTR.

No Watermarks Policy

TikTok rejects ads with watermarks from other platforms. Remove all brand watermarks and platform logos before uploading.
