How to check a site for the TikTok Ads tag

  1. Open the site in Chrome and open DevTools (⌥⌘I on Mac, Ctrl+Shift+I on Windows), then the Network tab.
  2. Reload and filter for analytics.tiktok.com. A request to it means the tag is live on that page.
  3. Not there? It may only fire on conversion pages, or sit inside Google Tag Manager. Search the container’s tags (or the gtm.js response) for analytics.tiktok.com.

TikTok advertisers: common questions

Is this the total number of TikTok advertisers?

No. We detected the TikTok Ads tag on 11,366 domains among 1,008,359 company websites analysed. This is an observed sample of companies and startups, not an estimate of the platform's whole advertiser base.

Which advertisers are most likely to also use TikTok?

In our comparison panel, 67% of sites with the Snapchat Ads tag also carry the TikTok Ads tag, against 7.2% of the full panel. Next come Spotify Ads (51%), Pinterest Ads (40%) and Nextdoor Ads (31%).

Which companies use TikTok for advertising?

They include Nestlé, Sanofi, Vale, Banco Bradesco and TP. The table on this page lists more.

How does TikTok compare to other ad platforms?

Within our 134,794-site tag-manager panel, TikTok ranks #5 of 14 major ad platforms by detected sites — ahead of Reddit Ads, ChatGPT Ads (OpenAI), X Ads, The Trade Desk and Pinterest Ads, behind Google Ads, Meta Ads, LinkedIn Ads and Microsoft Ads.

What is analytics.tiktok.com?

It serves TikTok pixel — the tag advertisers add so TikTok can measure ad clicks and conversions on their own site. Its presence means a site has set up TikTok Ads measurement; it does not tell you how much, or whether, they are currently spending.

How can I check if a website has the TikTok Ads tag?

Open the site in Chrome, open DevTools → Network, reload, and filter for "analytics.tiktok.com". A request to it means the tag is live on that page. If the site uses Google Tag Manager, the tag can also sit inside the container and fire only on certain pages.
