# Find what's going viral in your niche

Claude reads TikTok search results in your own browser and pulls the views, comments, shares and date of every video, then tells you which topics and hooks are winning this month.

## Setup
1. Install Claude in Chrome and open it in your browser.
2. Sign in to TikTok in the same Chrome.
3. Write down 5-10 searches your customers would type, in their words, not yours.
4. Paste the prompt below and swap in your searches. A run of 10 searches takes a few minutes.

## Tools
- Claude in Chrome (https://claude.com/chrome): Lets Claude use your own Chrome, signed in as you.
- TikTok (https://www.tiktok.com): Search pages list the videos; each video page has its stats.

## Prompts
### Find what's working
Paste into Claude in Chrome. Replace the searches.

```
Research what's going viral in my niche on TikTok.

Searches: [SEARCH 1], [SEARCH 2], [SEARCH 3], [SEARCH 4], [SEARCH 5]

For each search:
1. Open tiktok.com/search/video?q=<the search> and scroll until about 25 videos have loaded.
2. Collect each video's link.
3. Open each video's page and read: views, likes, comments, shares, post date, length, the account name and its follower count, and the first line of the caption.

Then:
- Keep only videos posted in the last 30 days.
- Give me a table of the top 25 by views.
- Group them by topic and by hook (the first line said or shown), and tell me which 3 topics get the most views.
- Point out any small accounts (under 10k followers) that got over 100k views, and what they did.
- Finish with 5 video ideas for my business, each with a hook in the same style as the winners.

Don't like, follow or comment on anything. Read only.
```

## Worth knowing
- Views alone can mislead. Comments and shares are a better sign that a topic made people act.
- Instagram's search doesn't show view counts, so TikTok is the faster place to measure a topic. What wins there usually wins on Reels too.
