The TikTok Algorithm — What Actually Matters

TikTok ranks videos by:

1. Completion rate — do people watch to the end?
2. Rewatch rate — do they watch again?
3. Shares — do they send it to someone?
4. Comments — do they feel compelled to respond?
5. Follows — does the video earn new followers?

Every script decision must serve one of these metrics.

Video Script Structure

The 3-Part Formula (All TikTok Videos)

HOOK (0-3 seconds): Stop the scroll
BODY (3-50 seconds): Deliver the value
CTA (last 3-5 seconds): Tell them what to do next

These are the most critical seconds. Test different hooks with the same content.

"Here's why [common thing] is [unexpected take]"
"Watch until the end — this changed everything for me"
