Is TikTok the new Google for Gen Z?

By Baylie Gary

According to Google's data, "nearly 40% of young individuals prefer using TikTok for searches over Google." While not surprising, it's crucial to understand where people are directing their attention and how it influences marketing strategies.


These insights can be valuable in customizing advertising campaigns. Marketers can create more impactful strategies by grasping the distinctions of each platform and the preferences of their target audiences. For instance, younger demographics might engage better with visually appealing, short-form content on platforms like TikTok and Instagram, influenced by trends and influencers shaping consumer behavior. Conversely, older age groups may value more detailed and informative content, often discovered through in-depth blog posts, reviews, and traditional search results on Google.


By staying aware of your audience's online activities and content consumption preferences, you can significantly boost your marketing approach. This ensures that your strategies are relevant and engaging, resulting in improved engagement and conversion rates.
