Young people today tend to...

• watch TikTok videos returned by Google search results

• search on TikTok first and then confirm their results on Google

• rely on Youtube shorts to find local businesses

• look for information on TikTok or Instagram

One way searching on TikTok is different from Google is…

• Google search results are often too brief to share important information.

• TikTok search results are fact-checked within the app.

• TikTok search results are more responsive to individuals.

• Google search results require users to watch more videos.
