I've created a tool for founders to get TikTok traffic for their product. Looking for your opinion

Startup / SaaS

I started this year from building an iOS app for dancers. Launched to crickets...

Of course I watched a lot of video about how great and "simple" the TikTok UGC marketing is. The only thing you need to do is to spend unknown amount of money to find that "viral format" and you are golden šŸ˜„ But I'm bootstrapping, so burning money wasn't an option.

Though from TikTok experiments I've noticed that my video posts are dying immediately while few quite terribleĀ carousels still getting some views week after posting. Reason that I figured out later - they are well-indexed by TikTok search and bring you users weeks and weeks after publishing. So it is a long-tail SEO strategy.

And I decided to double-down on carousels.

Here are the results of my TikTok account after posting for 3 months :

  • 14K followers
  • best post got 1.2M views
  • 2.8M views on account in last 28 days
  • this drives roughly 30-50 downloads of my mobile app per day. I mention it subtly from time to time in carousels.

SEOCarouselĀ started as my internal tool to facilitate making 3 posts a day.

Here what it does

  1. scans your site to get info about your product
  2. helps you chose the target audience
  3. under the hood decides on search queries that your audience might use
  4. generates photo carousels that answer those search queries, so your audience will be able to find you in a TikTok search

I'd be glad to hear from you what do you think about such product and about using carousels for TikTok long-tail traffic. Would you use it?
