Questions, answered.
How is this data measured?+
ContentScout reads social data from public TikTok posts in the Pets and Animals niche. We sample the posts, calculate average views and median engagement rates for each hashtag, and rank them using our own scoring system.
Should I use all of these hashtags at once?+
No. The data shows which tags appear on sampled posts, but it does not suggest using all of them together on a single post.
What do the average view numbers mean?+
The average views describe the performance of the posts using each specific hashtag in our sample. They are not a guarantee of how many views your post will get.
Which tags are broad versus specific?+
Tags like #fyp, #fy, and #dogsoftiktok appear on dozens of posts with lower average views, while tags like #funnypets and #ai appear on fewer posts with much higher average views.
