This is how to find targeting locations in TikTok Ads with AI: connect your TikTok Ads account to PaidSync.ai, then ask Claude to find the TikTok location identifier for a place, for the objective and placement you plan to use. It only reads and changes nothing.
TikTok targets by numeric location identifier, not by name. The search tool resolves a name for you:
search_tiktok_locations finds the identifier for a country, region or city by name, from TikTok's own region list for the placement and objective.create_tiktok_adgroup takes those identifiers as the locations of a new ad group.search_tiktok_locations only reads your account. create_tiktok_adgroup changes it. Claude calls these to find targeting locations.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| search_tiktok_locations | Returns the identifier for each place |
| create_tiktok_adgroup | Uses the identifiers in an ad group |
The list of available regions depends on the objective and the placement, so give both when you search. A place that does not appear for one objective may appear for another.
These steps use Claude to find targeting locations in TikTok Ads. In the ChatGPT app PaidSync.ai is report-only for TikTok Ads, so the change itself runs in Claude or another MCP client.
Create a free account at paidsync.ai and approve TikTok Ads on TikTok's own sign-in screen. Choose the advertiser accounts PaidSync.ai may manage at the consent step, including the one where you will find targeting locations.
Add PaidSync.ai from Claude's connector directory and sign in. Ask "list my TikTok advertisers" and choose the one to find targeting locations in.
Say which campaign objective you plan to use, because the list depends on it.
Ask for the identifier of each place and read the matches.
Note the identifier of the region you mean and avoid near matches with similar names.
Ask the assistant to repeat each place name beside its identifier before you use them.
Use these two prompts to find targeting locations in TikTok Ads, in this order.
search_tiktok_locations only reads your account, so the lookup before you find targeting locations changes nothing.create_tiktok_adgroup runs as a preview by default, so you see the change before it is applied when you find targeting locations.create_tiktok_adgroup runs to find targeting locations.create_tiktok_adgroup runs in Claude or another MCP client when you find targeting locations. Tokens are encrypted at rest.Every TikTok Ads tool PaidSync.ai offers is on the TikTok Ads MCP Server page, including the tools used to find targeting locations.
In TikTok Ads Manager you type a place and pick it from a list. With PaidSync.ai, ask Claude for the identifier and use it in the ad group.
TikTok's own list of regions depends on the objective and the placement, so the search takes both.
Not to find targeting locations itself. In the ChatGPT app PaidSync.ai reads and reports on TikTok Ads but is report-only, so run the change in Claude or another MCP client. ChatGPT can still read the account first.
