TikTok's minimum campaign budget is AUD $50 per day; TikTok recommends a minimum of AUD $500 per day for campaigns targeting conversion objectives. In practice, Australian businesses testing TikTok Ads for the first time see meaningful data at $100 to $150 per day for awareness and traffic campaigns, and $200 to $300 per day for conversion campaigns.
TikTok offers three primary bid strategies: lowest cost (maximise conversions within budget), cost cap (target a maximum CPA) and bid cap (maximum CPM/CPC). Lowest cost is recommended for campaigns in the learning phase or when maximising volume. Cost cap is appropriate once you have established a target CPA from at least 50 conversions. Bid cap is primarily for brand awareness campaigns with strict CPM targets.
Increase TikTok ad budgets by 20 to 30% every five to seven days. Larger increases trigger the algorithm to exit its stable state and re-enter the learning phase. If you need to scale quickly, create a duplicate campaign with the higher budget rather than modifying the existing one — the duplicate starts fresh but avoids resetting the original campaign's learning.
