As the world of search evolves away from Google many use TikTok for search - TokRanker gives marketing & creators data on what people are searching for on TikTok and track their ranking performance.

Inspiration

People are using TikTok for search but the tooling for marketing teams hasn’t advanced at the same pace. I wanted to create a new online tool that would allow users to research what people are searching for on TikTok and then track their videos in search rankings.

What it does

TokRanker allows you to research what people are searching for on TikTok, generate ideas for content and track the performance of your videos in the search results. Users subscript under a subscription via Stripe and then login to the system. There they can use the tools, which results are stored, download data or see information in charts.

How we built it

This tool has been build by bolt and uses Netlify for hosting, Superbase for authentication, databases, edge functions, Resend for email, Ionos domain and Stripe for payments.

This was all build with Bolt and then some elements later outside of bolt for the scripts to check rankings on a daily basis.

Challenges we ran into

Stripe was easy to setup but then required further work to setup the sandbox environment so I was able to take test payments and test the workflow. This wasn’t implemented in the first setup with bolt but I was able to add in after.

I also had to use edge functions on Supabase which would then allow a script to run on a GitHub action every morning. This connects to the database, checks which key phrases we need to check rankings for and then saves the results. This required work outside of the bolt system.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

This is the first time I’ve used Stripe in a product, in one way it was easier due to the bolt integration but I still had to learn about how the systems work, the notion of the sandbox and products.

What we learned

I’ve learned about the flow of payments on stripe and also how to use the sandbox system with bolt.

What's next for TokRanker

We are looking at AI recommendations and brief creation which would look at the existing videos on TikTok then create scripts and video suggestions for you to create to rank in the search results.
