Utilising your analytics on the short form video platform is extremely important for creators, here are where and how to monitor them.

Like any social media platform, TikTok is incredibly algorithm-focused, finding out how to view and utilise these can help boost your reach and manage your success on the platform. Luckily, there is a variety of tools that can help you find these analytics. 

TikTok thrives on data and is driven by machine learning and a technical algorithm. So, understanding this and being able to track this can help you improve the performance of your content. 

Here are some of the best platforms for TikTok analytics: 

TikTok Pro Account 

If you have a pro account then you will be able to view your TikTok analytics via your own account. Your data dashboard will be split into three main categories: 

Overview

Content

Followers

Each tab will have extra information and you’ll be able to video views, profile views, follower count, and follow demographics in terms of gender and geography. 

Getting a pro account is easily done. All you need to do is switch to a pro account, go to your privacy settings, click “manage my account” and then “Switch to Pro Account” at the bottom. 

Pentos

Pentos is the only platform that allows you to track campaigns based on songs and videos as opposed to just users of hashtags. The date isn’t real-time but its analytics do revolve around songs and actual content, making ideal for musicians. 

Melody Socials 

Melody Socials allows you to search similar profiles based on your submitted criteria. It also provides updates in real-time, meaning you will have access to the most up-to-date information possible. This allows you to view a profile with similar content and see how they are performing compared to you, you will also be able to view their hashtags and more. This data allows you to see what’s working and what isn’t within your category of content.

If you’re wanting a deeper look into your analytics then Analisa.io is the one for you. Here you’ll be able to analyse any public TikTok profile or hashtag to see how you are doing in comparison to your competition.
