Gen Z Skips Google: TikTok, the New Search Reflex

In 2024, TikTok is no longer just an entertainment platform, but also a genuine search engine for Generation Z. This evolution marks a significant change in how young consumers search for and consume information.

A marked preference for visual search

According to an Adobe study, TikTok has become the preferred search engine for many young users to find information, recipes, music, and much more. This trend is explained by several factors:

  • Visual and engaging content: TikTok's short videos offer a more dynamic and immersive search experience than traditional text results.
  • Personalized algorithm: TikTok adapts results based on the user's interests and behavior, offering a tailored search experience.
  • Perceived authenticity: Gen Z trusts advice and information shared by real individuals on TikTok more than impersonal websites.

A wide range of searches

Gen Z uses TikTok to search for a variety of content:

  • Practical information (e.g., requesting a letter of recommendation)
  • Recipes and cooking tips
  • Music discovery
  • Fashion and beauty advice
  • Reviews on products and services

In summary, TikTok is clearly encroaching on Google's territory, particularly YouTube's. While the world's number one video platform was the first search reflex for all generations, TikTok is disrupting this trend and changing internet users' search habits, especially those of Gen Z.
