TikTok Shop & Instagram Shopping

Shop setup, product feeds and merchandising on social.

Social commerce is no longer optional

TikTok Shop's arrival in Nigeria has changed the calculus for consumer brands. Buyers who used to discover on TikTok and check out on the brand's store can now complete the entire journey without leaving the app. The friction reduction matters - every step removed from a checkout flow lifts conversion by single-digit percentages, and several steps removed multiplies. For categories TikTok favours (beauty, fashion, home, gadgets), social commerce is now the primary discovery-to-purchase channel.

Instagram Shopping and Facebook Shop are quieter but still meaningful, particularly for brands with strong existing Meta audiences. Setting these surfaces up requires catalog feeds with platform-specific metadata, fulfilment integrations that handle the order back to your store, customer service flows for social-originated buyers, and tax handling that respects the platform fee structure.

Live shopping - where TikTok pulls ahead

TikTok Live shopping is the format Nigerian retailers are most excited about. A creator goes live with your products, viewers comment and buy in-stream, the platform handles checkout, and orders flow to your fulfilment system. The conversion mechanics are aggressive - flash discounts, limited stock urgency, host-driven storytelling - and the AOV uplifts in pilot programmes are significant. We support the entire operation: pre-stream prep, in-stream moderation, post-stream order reconciliation and creator settlement.

Tax, fees and the unit economics question

Social commerce platforms take meaningful cuts - typically five to ten percent of GMV depending on the platform and category. For brands with thin margins, the platform fee plus payment processing plus fulfilment cost can erode unit economics fast. Before setting you up on social commerce we run a unit-economics check by category and platform so you know going in whether the fees are worth the discovery uplift. For high-margin categories (beauty, accessories, premium apparel) the answer is almost always yes. For thin-margin categories (basic groceries, low-end electronics) the answer may be no, and we will tell you that rather than take a setup fee.

Methodology

How we actually do it

  1. Catalog hygiene above all

    Out-of-stock products that ship anyway destroy trust. Stock sync from your true inventory is non-negotiable.

  2. Fulfilment integration first

    Before catalog goes live, the order pipeline is wired to your back-office. Manual order copy-pasting at volume is how brands burn out their team.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do you guarantee Google rankings?
No reputable SEO agency guarantees specific positions - that would be a red flag. We commit to measurable monthly improvements in organic traffic, qualified leads and assisted revenue against an agreed baseline.
Can you run Google and Meta Ads together?
Yes - integrated paid campaigns across Google, Meta, TikTok and YouTube with one creative team and one performance team. We use server-side tracking and Meta CAPI to restore reporting accuracy.
How long until SEO starts working?
For Nigerian businesses targeting non-saturated keywords, expect first ranking movement in 4–8 weeks and meaningful traffic shifts in 3–6 months. Heavily competed verticals take longer.
Do you handle WhatsApp marketing?
Yes - WhatsApp Business API setup, broadcast campaigns, catalogue storefronts and AI agents that qualify leads 24/7.
