The TikTok algorithm in 2026: what changed
TikTok now favours watch-completion and re-watches over raw view counts. Short, dense videos (15 to 30 seconds) with a clear structure — a hook, an idea, a call to action — often work better for business accounts than longer entertainment content.
B2B on TikTok: the unexpected opportunity
Decision-makers and professionals are now on TikTok. Behind-the-scenes content, short expert videos and method walk-throughs from B2B brands reach professional audiences you wouldn't expect there.
Content formats that work for business
Day-in-the-life business videos, product demonstrations and educational 'did you know' content work consistently well. The key lesson: TikTok rewards authenticity over production quality — a genuine twenty-second clip often beats an over-produced video.
Key takeaways
- Watch-completion is the key TikTok metric: take care of it above all.
- B2B brands find their audience on TikTok too.
- On TikTok, authenticity matters more than production quality: don't wait for the perfect video to post.
