How does TikTok decide who sees a post?
TikTok tests every upload on a few hundred people and mostly cares whether they watched to the end and then watched again. Follower count means almost nothing here. Rewatch rate and shares into WhatsApp move a video further than likes ever will. Search has become a real source — people type 'biryani Rawalpindi' straight into TikTok — and TikTok reads your spoken audio, so say the words out loud. Old videos genuinely restart weeks after posting.
Formats, lengths, caption limits and the best posting windows in Pakistan Standard Time are the same whatever trade you are in, so they live in one place rather than being repeated on every guide.

Should solar installers be anywhere else?
TikTok first. After it is running steadily, these are the next platforms worth your time in this trade — in this order.
| Platform | Priority | How often | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| YouTube | #1 | 2 long videos per week plus 4 Shorts | Payback maths and honest brand comparisons are exactly the long videos people watch before spending twenty lakh rupees. |
| #2 | 1 post daily plus active replies inside buyer groups | Pakistan's solar buyer groups are enormous, and quotes get pulled apart in public there every day. | |
| WhatsApp Channels | #4 | 2 updates per week | This niche has a long decision cycle, so price changes and rule changes need to reach enquiries who did not buy the first time. |

TikTok questions from solar installers
Is TikTok actually worth it for solar installers?
Roof installs, crane lifts and quick is-this-panel-fake clips reach people who had not started shopping yet. We would rank it number 3 of the platforms worth your time in this trade, and run it at 4 site clips per week.
How often should a solar installer business post on TikTok?
4 site clips per week. That figure is set by what this trade can sustain, not by what the platform would like. Posting three times a week for a year beats posting daily for a month and then stopping.
Should solar installers be on TikTok before anything else?
No. YouTube comes first for solar installers — TikTok is number 3 here. It is worth adding once the first platform is steady, for the reason above.
What is the first thing a solar installer account gets wrong on TikTok?
Posting about the business instead of about the customer's problem. Every lead opens with per watt rate kya hai and refuses to hear anything about panel tier, inverter brand or structure gauge. That is what your TikTok posts should be answering, in 4 site clips per week
What does it cost to have someone run my TikTok account?
From PKR 15,000 a month with us. For solar installers we usually recommend Pro at PKR 70,000+. Two long videos a week, daily activity inside buyer groups, ads through the summer bill shock and a WhatsApp channel for slow leads. That is three platforms plus paid — Pro territory.
