As China’s most widely used search engine, Baidu processes more than five billion search queries per day. It commands 80% of the mobile search market and 60% of the desktop market. In comparison to Google’s more aloof approach, Baidu maintains this impressive share by seeking to understand local Chinese language requirements and cultures at every turn, enabling it to refine and optimize its search technology so that it meets the needs of local users. In other words: if the internet is the gateway to the Chinese market, Baidu holds the keys – and brands have to play by its rules.
Gain maximum exposure on Baidu by using search ad formats relevant to your target audience.

Baidu SEO – There are more than 60 different search and community service channels available, ranging from Baidu Baike (encyclopedia) and Baidu Zhidao (Q&A platform) to Baidu Tieba (social forum), Qunar (travel booking service) and everything in between. We provide comprehensive advice on how to improve your website and create organic content that works in harmony with these channels. We are also here to help you overcome challenges and resolve any issues that arise in conjunction with these channels and platforms (e.g. trademark violations requiring legal negotiations with Baidu).
- Cross-platform – Our Baidu specialists are also well versed in the unique features of other search engine tools, including Google Ads, Yahoo! and Bing. This enables you to target your content toward Chinese audiences living or travelling abroad, and boost your visibility in other key markets such as Hong Kong and Taiwan (where Google and Yahoo! are more widely used than Baidu).
