Credits are applied within 7 days of hitting the highest threshold or after the 30-day accumulation window.

TikTok's UK/Europe scale (30M+ UK, 200M+ EU) and content graph make category objections obsolete. For ad ops, success comes from relevance, not trends: proof-led demos, explainers, reviews, and problem-solving content can reach high-intent audiences without a large follower base. Case studies show material performance: Toyota CPA -38%, BCP 10x registrations, Randstad 2.81% CTR/17M impressions, Prep Kitchen +44% conversion and +374% orders with Smart+, PureGym CPA -77%, HydroClean cost per conversation -74%. Action: test utility/creator content, use Smart+ for scaled creative testing, layer TopView on trusted content, and target niche communities rather than broad reach.
