## Example

Your product launch campaign received **1,847 comments** across all ad groups in June.

| Campaign         | Comments | Impressions | Comment Rate |
| ---------------- | -------- | ----------- | ------------ |
| Product Demo     | 1,234    | 425,000     | 0.29%        |
| UGC Testimonials | 613      | 312,000     | 0.20%        |

## How It Works

TikTok counts each comment left on your ad by viewers. Comments indicate deeper engagement than likes—users take time to type a response. High comment counts often signal content that sparks curiosity, questions, or strong opinions about your product.
