The TikTok Video Analysis Tool (Business Suite) provides metrics such as views, engagement rates, completion rate, audience demographics, and hashtag performance. It surfaces top-25% and bottom-25% performing content over custom timeframes (Sprout Social 2024). The Comment Analysis Tool applies natural language processing to categorize comments as positive, negative, or neutral, and identifies recurring themes—product questions, sentiment shifts, or trend feedback. Together, these features enable social media marketers to assess both quantitative performance and qualitative audience sentiment, powering refined content strategies and rapid optimization loops.

Authority citation: Engagement rates on video content are 38% higher than static posts – Sprout Social 2024. Proprietary Ignite data shows brands that respond to negative comments within 24 hours see a 12% lift in follower retention (Ignite Social Media 2025).

Step 1: Export video metrics & comment sentiment via API or CSV.
Step 2: Feed data into AI (ChatGPT/Gemini) with prompt: “Analyze top-performing videos by watch time, hashtag, and sentiment.”
Step 3: Use AI to cluster themes (e.g., tutorials, challenges) and recommend posting cadences.
Step 4: Build a content calendar: replicate high-engagement formats 2–3 times/week.
Step 5: Monitor performance weekly and rerun AI analysis to iterate.

Use sentiment analysis at three key points:
1. Pre-launch: Analyze beta user comments to refine messaging.
2. Post-launch week 1: Identify pain points or misconceptions to address with follow-up videos.
3. Quarterly reviews: Track sentiment trends to optimize product positioning.

Example: A beauty brand spotted rising negative sentiment around packaging and released a “behind-the-scenes” tour, reducing complaints by 22% within 2 weeks (Ignite Social Media 2025).

Authority citation: 54% of consumers expect brands to address comments within 24 hours – Hootsuite 2024.

Hashtag discoverability drives 28% of new follower acquisition on TikTok (eMarketer 2024). Tracking trending tags via the Video Analysis Tool identifies high-velocity topics. When you align content with trending hashtags, the algorithm amplifies reach by embedding your videos into fresh For You feed clusters. This method outperforms generic tags by 2.3× in engagement (Buffer 2024).

Actionable takeaway: Maintain a rolling list of 10 trending tags and test 3 per video. Rotate weekly based on engagement uplift.
