To target Australia with your TikTok ads for your app, you’ll need to follow these steps:
- Create an Agency Account:
To start, you should create an agency account on TikTok. Make sure you provide accurate details during the setup process.
- Select the Correct Time Zone and Region:
When setting up your agency account, ensure that you choose the Australian time zone and specify Australia as your region. This step is crucial as it determines the location you can target with your ads.
- Verify Your Identity:
TikTok may require identity verification to ensure that you’re a legitimate advertiser. Be prepared to provide the necessary documentation and information for this verification process.
- Use a Static VPN;
If you encounter difficulties even after setting up an agency account with the correct time zone and region, you can use a static VPN (Virtual Private Network) with an Australian server. This will allow you to create a new ad account while appearing as if you’re in Australia.
- Create a New Ad Account;
With the VPN active, create a new TikTok ad account. Make sure to set the account location to Australia.
- Phone Number Requirement:
Keep in mind that TikTok may require a valid Australian phone number for verification. If you’re not physically in Australia, you might need to arrange for a way to receive SMS codes from an Australian number or purchase a virtual phone number online. We recommend Sonetel.
By following these steps and ensuring that your agency account settings reflect Australia as the target region, you should be able to create TikTok ads specifically for the Australian audience. If you still encounter issues, consider reaching out to TikTok’s customer support for assistance in setting up your ad account correctly for Australian targeting.
