According to an article by Forbes, the platform can be highly beneficial for business analytics when looking to advertise their organizations to gain more attraction online. “The paid advertising options on TikTok allow you to select a goal for each ad—whether it be views, website visits or follows.”
Web Business Suite is a portal that provides users access to Analytics, Workspace, and Activity/Support.
“Analytics” is available to monitor account data, which can also be downloaded for further analysis. The “Workspace” is for business users to access their promotions, while also having the opportunity to gain more followers. “Activity/Support” helps users with content creation ideas/how to better grow their businesses.
Overall, the Business Suite implements a "creative strategy" for users to stay organized within their accounts. This account also allows business users to link their email addresses on their profiles for effective communication.
