TikTok doesn’t have a built-in feature that shows you exactly who has viewed your profile. However, there are some tricks you can use to get an idea of who your profile visitors are.
Use a third-party analytics app
While TikTok itself doesn’t have profile viewer tracking, there are third-party apps you can use to see analytics on your TikTok account – including profile views. Two popular options are:
- HypeAuditor – This app shows you analytics on your followers and posts. In the profile analytics section, it shows the total number of profile views in the last 7 days, as well as the top viewers by country.
- Influencer Marketing Hub – This provides detailed analytics on your TikTok growth and engagement. The profile report shows total profile views and top profile viewers in the last 30 days.
To set up one of these apps:
- Go to the website and create an account.
- Connect your TikTok account by inputting your username and logging in via TikTok’s API.
- Go to the profile analytics section to see data on your profile views.
While third-party apps don’t show individual viewers, they give you useful high-level data on who is checking out your profile the most – like top locations and demographics. This can help guide your content strategy.
Analyze your followers list
Another tactic is to closely analyze your followers list for any changes. Here are some signs that could indicate someone viewed your profile:
- New followers – If you get a bunch of new followers around the same time, chances are they found you by viewing your profile first.
- Followers who engaged – Pay attention to followers who liked or commented on your posts shortly after following you. They likely found you by viewing your profile.
- Followers who unfollow – If someone follows you but then unfollows shortly after, they likely viewed your profile out of curiosity but didn’t end up interested in your content.
- Random new followers – Followers who don’t seem to fit with your target audience may have just randomly stumbled upon and viewed your profile.
While not definitive, watching your followers list closely can give clues as to who is checking out your profile. You can then engage with those followers directly to turn them into active followers.
Look for interactions after sharing your profile link
If you share or promote your TikTok profile link anywhere, you can look for increased engagements after the fact to get an idea of who viewed your profile from there. For example:
- Share your profile on Instagram or Twitter and see if you gain followers from those platforms.
- Send your profile link directly to friends/contacts and watch if they follow you or engage.
- Promote your TikTok profile on your other websites or channels and analyze the traffic source of any new followers you gain.
While you won’t know exactly who clicked your link, you’ll know generally where the profile views are coming from when you actively share your profile.
Look for viewers in your “Like” notifications
When someone likes or comments on your videos, you get notified with their username. If you notice certain usernames frequently engaging with your content shortly after following you, chances are they found you by viewing your profile first.
So pay attention to those “Like” notifications – the users consistently engaging with your content right away are likely profile viewers.
Use the “Live Followers” feature while streaming
When you go live on TikTok, you can enable the “Live Followers” setting to show new followers in real-time during your broadcast. This lets you call out and engage individual viewers. Some of these live followers are likely people who just came across and viewed your profile.
Going live lets you interact directly with profile viewers and turn them into active followers. Just make sure to enable Live Followers first.
Check your profile traffic after collaborating
Collaborating with other creators is a great way to get more eyes on your TikTok profile. When you do collaborations like duets or stitching other videos, watch for spikes in your profile traffic.
Many viewers will likely be curious to check out your profile after seeing a collaboration video. So pay attention to any spikes in new followers, engagement, or third party analytic stats after collaborating. This can give you an idea of how many viewers are being driven to your profile from the collaboration.
Consider switching to a Pro account
Upgrading to a TikTok Pro account unlocks more in-depth analytics. In your profile analytics, it shows total profile visits from the past 7 and 28 days. You can also view profile traffic sources to see where visits are coming from.
While you still can’t see individual viewers, a Pro account gives you a much better picture of your overall profile traffic. If you’re serious about growing your TikTok, a Pro account is worth the investment.
