Find Related Searches

1. Open Keyword research.
2. Choose a term under Suggested searches, or type a topic and click Expand.
3. Read the related searches in the results.
4. Click Expand beside a result to search that phrase, or select its checkbox to keep it for copying.

For example, enter handmade jewelry, then expand a related phrase that matches the post you are planning. Results depend on what TikTok returns.

Turn on Personalize to request suggestions for the selected account. Starting another search or changing Personalize clears your current selections, so copy anything you want to keep first.

Find Caption Hashtags

1. Open Caption hashtags.
2. Choose a language from the toolbar.
3. Enter a keyword and click Suggest.
4. Select the hashtags you want to copy.

Use a single word. Maeve removes spaces from multiword input before searching, so handmade jewelry becomes handmadejewelry.

The results show view counts when TikTok supplies them. If no counts are reported, the list still shows the suggested hashtags. A missing count does not establish that a hashtag has no views.

Choose a Language

The language control sets the language requested from TikTok. Choose the language you use in your captions. It is saved in your browser for the workspace.

Available languages include English, Arabic, German, Spanish, French, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Vietnamese, and Simplified Chinese.

Copy Your Selections

1. Select the checkboxes beside the results you want.
2. Click Copy in the selection bar.
3. Open the composer and paste the text into your caption.

You can also click Use in a post, then Copy text in the dialog. This copies text without creating or publishing a post.

Keywords copy as plain text separated by spaces. Caption hashtags copy with one leading # per tag, separated by spaces, with duplicates removed regardless of capitalization.

If you use the text on another network, review that network's caption before scheduling. Suggestions from TikTok do not validate another network's hashtag limits or caption requirements.
