New TikTok Shop getting zero traffic. Could AI-generated product photos affect visibility?
Hi everyone,
I recently started a TikTok Shop for pet grooming products. It’s still very new, around a week old, and I noticed I’m getting almost zero visitors or traffic to the shop.
One thing I’m curious about is the product images. They were AI-generated, but I made sure they still accurately show my real products, including the actual packaging, labels, and overall appearance. I only used AI mainly to improve the presentation and make the listings look cleaner.
I also connected the shop to my TikTok account and recently started posting content showcasing the products. Pricing is competitive too, and in some cases slightly cheaper than similar listings.
My question is:
Does TikTok Shop reduce visibility for listings that use AI-generated product photos? Or is this just normal behavior for a completely new shop with no sales history yet?
Would appreciate insights from anyone with experience in TikTok Shop, Shopee, or e-commerce in general. Thanks!
