Content gaps: topics with search demand the platform does not have enough videos to answer. This is the half worth planning around, so it sits behind a free account.
The content-gap board is warming up. Reload in a minute.
Rank is by interest score, which is TikTok's own measure of how much a topic is being searched. It is a score, not a count of searches — nobody outside TikTok has the counts.
A topic sitting at 74 for seven readings is saturated attention. A topic that jumped from 38 to 71 is attention arriving, and that is the one worth filming this week.
A trending topic you have no standing in is someone else's video. The useful rows are the ones that overlap something you already make — that is where search demand and your credibility meet.
Inside the app it lives under the Creator Tools section, and it is phone-only — there is no desktop view of it, which is why so many people end up searching for one. This page is the desktop-readable version of the same class of data: the search topics and their interest scores, in a table you can read on a laptop while you plan a week of filming.
A content gap is a topic where TikTok sees search demand it does not have enough videos to answer. That combination — people looking, few videos to serve them — is the single most actionable signal the platform publishes, because it tells you where a competent video has room to land rather than where a thousand videos are already fighting. The second board on this page lists those topics.
The score is relative and bounded, so a 74 does not mean 74 of anything. Read it as position rather than quantity: which topics sit above others this week, and which are moving. Any tool quoting you a monthly TikTok search volume is estimating from autocomplete, because TikTok does not publish volumes — that is worth knowing before you plan around someone's number.
This board is the same for everyone. Bring your account into Kabo when you want these topics read against what you already rank for.
The board above, refreshed regularly. It lists search topics rather than hashtags or sounds, which is the difference that matters for planning: a hashtag tells you what is being posted, a search topic tells you what is being looked for and not necessarily found.
It is the same class of data — search topics with the platform's own interest scores, including the content-gap topics. The in-app feature is phone-only and shows topics relative to your account; this page is a readable board of the topics themselves.
The first rows are open to everyone and need no account. Below that, and for the content-gap board, a free sign-in applies — that board is the part with real planning value, and keeping it behind a free account is what pays for pulling this data every day.
Topics move over days, not minutes. The change column compares the first and last of the seven readings shown on each row, so you are looking at movement across the window rather than a snapshot of one moment.
