  Your Tiktok audience is also stuck in the wrong country?

  Tiktok's algorithm doesn't just look at your IP specially lately with the increased georestrictions, it cross checks a bunch of signals like SIM carrier, device history, WiFi fingerprints, and even behavioral patterns (who you follow, comment on, etc.). If they don't align with the country you want to target, your content gets throttled to low views or pushed back to your home region basically redirected.

  VPNs used to be a quick fix, but these months, they mostly fail because Tiktok spots the mismatch faster, IP changes but SIM or device still says "foreign’’, several community tests i’ve seen around show posting with vpn can average really low views with 92% still from the country you are in. Proxies and burners have similar issues unless everything is perfectly local, which is tough if you're abroad.

  So, what reliably works to realign or build a proper target-country audience:

  1. Account origin: Create the account in the target country with a local SIM, residential IP, and real device. That way your first 50-100 followers would be local too, which sets the ‘’trust’’ with Tiktok algorithm. There isn't really shortcuts VPN created accounts have a noticeable risk to start handicapped.
  2. Consistent local activity: All logins, posts, likes, and comments from that country's network. Post during peak local hours (e.g., 7-10 PM ET for US), interact only with target country content. Over 30-60 days, this shifts audience geography gradually if you want a organic way.
  3. Content feels native: Use local slang, trends, references (e.g., US-specific like "Costco haul" hooks). Algorithm picks up on this for better FYP placement.
  4. The safer scaling options: Hire a local manager/creator to handle posting, or use a geoverified tiktok service that provision real local accounts (SIM, device, etc.) managed remotely via dashboard and also create the accounts as well (eg. Tokportal). This skips the DIY hassle without too many risks.

  Usually creators fix this by going full local setup, their views jump to normal algorithm levels (thousands or more if content's good). Besides people that receive travel shadowbans from IP jumps resolve in 2 to 4 weeks with consistent local behavior, but prevention's better in the end.
