Vertical fit decision tree, Spark Ads architecture, founder-led creative templates, Smart+ Lead Gen setup, geo-fence recipes, compliance, and funnel math for SaaS, professional services, and local businesses on $300 to $5,000 monthly budgets.


Who this is for

Solo founders, in-house marketers, and agency operators running TikTok Ads in 2026 for non-ecommerce verticals. Budgets between $10 and $200 a day. Verticals covered: B2B SaaS (with realistic limits), prosumer SaaS, medspas, dentists, home services, fitness, restaurants, real estate, financial advisors. Verticals where TikTok largely does not work: enterprise SaaS, behavioral health, restrictive lawyer jurisdictions.

This is a tactical reference, not a survey. Eight parts. The first part you should read is Part 2, the vertical fit tree, because half the readers should not be running TikTok Ads at all.
