Integral Ad Science (IAS) has broadened its Total Media Quality (TMQ) measurement coverage across TikTok’s advertising products, bringing the suite to CapCut, Lemon8 and additional video, search and shopping placements. Alongside those apps, the update introduces new capabilities for TopView, TikTok Shop’s GMV Max campaigns, image and carousel ads, Search for Brand Auction and, in Asia-Pacific, TikTok Lite.
Building on existing measurement services under a partnership with TikTok established in 2020, IAS cited the platform’s global community of more than 1 billion users and its growing range of search, commerce, creator and lifestyle experiences as the context for extending coverage. The company’s AI-powered technology analyses video, audio, text and images, which IAS says helps advertisers assess media quality, protect their brands and reduce wasted advertising spending across different content environments.
Brand safety measurement expands to TopView and shopping campaigns
On TikTok itself, IAS is adding brand safety and suitability measurement to TopView, the full-screen advertising format displayed when users open the app. Supplementing existing viewability and invalid traffic (IVT) measurement, the addition allows advertisers to assess additional aspects of placement quality within the format, though access to the expanded TopView coverage is subject to advertiser eligibility.
Commerce advertisers also gain measurement coverage for GMV Max, TikTok Shop’s automated campaign format. Now available globally, the measurement gives advertisers visibility into where their shopping advertisements run and allows them to apply brand safety and suitability checks as campaign spending increases.
Search and image formats gain wider measurement coverage
Beyond video and shopping placements, the expansion brings TikTok’s static image and carousel advertisements into IAS’s measurement coverage. Covering these formats provides media quality reporting across both video and non-video advertising, allowing advertisers to assess placements that use different types of creative material.
In search, IAS is bringing its existing Search Results Page measurement to Search for Brand Auction objectives through Automatic Placements. Advertisers can now measure both Search Feed and Search Results Page placements, widening media quality coverage across TikTok’s search advertising environments.
CapCut, Lemon8 and TikTok Lite widen platform coverage
Independent media quality measurement is also reaching CapCut, the AI-powered video and photo editing application. By bringing another app within TikTok’s wider ecosystem into its measurement coverage, IAS aims to improve transparency for advertisers as creator-driven content and brand engagement increasingly overlap.
On Lemon8, TikTok’s lifestyle and discovery platform, the expanded measurement allows advertisers to apply brand safety and suitability standards across shopping and interest-based content. According to IAS, this supports consistent assessment as campaigns extend into these environments.
In Asia-Pacific, coverage extends specifically to TikTok Lite, an app designed for devices with limited storage or slower connectivity. Including the app provides another advertising environment where IAS aims to maintain consistent media quality measurement across different device and connectivity conditions. Whereas IAS describes the overall TMQ expansion as globally available, TikTok Lite is included specifically as an Asia-Pacific addition.
