TikTok Expands Into Local Services to Boost Small Business Engagement
TikTok is expanding its services in the U.S. by building a dedicated team to help small businesses connect with creators and users on the platform. The company has posted job openings in key cities such as Seattle, Los Angeles, and New York, aiming to strengthen the relationship between local merchants and TikTok’s vast creator community. This move follows a similar approach used in Southeast Asia, where TikTok collaborated with creators to offer deals for restaurants, hotels, and travel. Through this expansion, TikTok intends to further support small businesses and improve the user experience, even as the platform faces ongoing legal challenges in the U.S.
