More and more small and medium-sized businesses are turning to TikTok to drive real business results, from discovery through to leads, bookings, and sales. Sitting under the Marketing Technology badge, the Channel Sales Partner Program recognizes partners that meet TikTok's technical, operational, and go-to-market standards while driving SMB adoption and investment through their platforms at scale.
Key stat: 31% of US SMB marketers and business owners use AI-driven design or layout recommendations to optimize landing pages, according to a June 2025 survey from Ascend2 and Unbounce. Beyond the chart: The adoption mirrors broader B2B behavior. 95% of B2B marketers are using AI-powered tools in some capacity, with 89% specifically employing AI for generating marketing or written copy, according to an October Content Marketing Institute report.
A new force is at play - one that sits in the blind spot of most marketers despite its sheer scale: small businesses. Small businesses make up 99% of all US companies and account for more than 51% of GDP. Collectively, they generate around $6tn in revenue and employ almost half the US workforce. In other words, if small businesses were a nation, it would be the world's third-largest economy.
