How to See and Manage TikTok Ads Comments from Ads Manager

TikTok Ads Comments

When running TikTok ads, it is obvious that you would want to foster engagement with your customers, as well as timely answer your customer’s concerns. That’s why keeping track of TikTok ads comments is of huge importance. Comments, in this case, are huge parts of your ad strategy as they indicate the user’s interests or concerns about your brand or your product.

However, you might miss a large number of comments, which leads to poor interaction with your users. If you’re in a situation where you’re struggling with managing TikTok ads comments, this post is tailor-made for you. Let’s dive in!

How to see comments on TikTok ads

You can definitely view your TikTok ad comments manually by clicking on each individual post. However, for brands that have a tight posting schedule, large customer base, or many products to sell, this approach would be highly time-consuming and inefficient. 

That’s why we would recommend you set up your TikTok Ads Manager first. Here, you will be able to view, filter, reply to, like, pin, export, hide and block the TikTok comments made on your ads using the Comment Management tool. These tools also let you manage comments one at a time or in bulk.

To register a TikTok Ads Manager account, gain access to its website first. You will see two options to sign up by email address or phone number, so choose whichever method suits you more. Afterward, fill in the verification code to complete the registration. Finally, you just need to finish some verification steps before you can gain access to the Comment Management tool.

Note:

  • You can replace a pinned comment with a new one on the top of the ad. 
  • To pin comments to the top of Spark Ads, you must have permission to use the Identity that created the ad. Contact the TikTok account’s owner to obtain authorization.
