In this blog, we'll show you how to set up and use your account so you're the ideal blue checkmark candidate along with the many benefits a TikTok verification badge can bring you. Let's get started!
As we said, there's no clear path to getting verified on TikTok. But TikTok does share some high-level criteria your account must meet for them even to consider granting you a blue checkmark. According to TikTok, ask yourself the following questions:
Make sure your account isn't copying or impersonating any other popular accounts. You should only use your account to tell your brand or business's story, no one else's.
Your content should be true to your brand and business and be distinguishable from other accounts. Dive into that one thing that makes you different and make that your entire content strategy.
Activity isn't just how often you post. You must engage with the rest of your community by liking, commenting, and sharing other accounts' videos.
Always follow TikTok's community guidelines. Don't bully, use hate speech or do anything that violates their terms of service that can lead to potential account bans.
As long as you follow those criteria, here's how to make your account stand out to TikTok's verification approval committee.
