There is no universally “best” platform for every business. The one that drives sales for a LATAM e-commerce brand could be a total waste for a B2B consultant in the US. Choosing wrong means months of effort and thousands of dollars in opportunity cost.

This quiz cross-references 7 real variables from your business with current conversion data to give you a concrete recommendation.

Which Social Media Platform Should You Prioritize?

Discover your ideal platform stack in 7 questions

Question 1 of 7

Where is your primary audience located?

What This Quiz Evaluates

Each question maps to a variable that drastically changes which platform suits you best:

1. Market and country

Not every platform has the same penetration everywhere. WhatsApp dominates LATAM at 94% usage, while in the US it barely reaches 28%. TikTok Shop still is not available in many markets.

2. Business objective

Building awareness is fundamentally different from closing direct sales. TikTok excels at organic reach; Instagram and WhatsApp win on direct-message conversion.

3. Product price point

Products under $50 USD convert best on TikTok Shop (3.4%). High-ticket B2B services need LinkedIn and authority-driven content.

4. Target demographic

67% of TikTok users are between 18 and 34. If your customer is 45+, your content needs to live on a different platform.

5. Business type

E-commerce, professional services, SaaS, content creator — each model has a natural conversion channel.

6. Time availability

TikTok demands 4-7 posts per week for traction. LinkedIn converts with 2-3 in-depth posts. Your scarcest resource defines your strategy.

7. Priority metric

Does reach matter most, conversion rate, or customer lifetime value? The answer changes the recommended platform.

Why Choosing Right Matters

The cost of being on the wrong platform

91% of businesses already use video on social media. The issue is not presence — it is dispersion. Posting everywhere without strategy produces:

Diluted content that resonates on no platform
Content team burnout with no measurable results
Decisions driven by vanity metrics (likes) instead of actual conversion

The data that matters

The differences are dramatic: TikTok converts at 0.46% for organic traffic to a website, Instagram at 1.85%. But TikTok Shop converts at 3.4% for in-app purchases. WhatsApp Business reaches a 70% open rate on sales messages.

The “right” platform depends on your context, not on what works for someone else.
