Important Clarifications
- SEM/PPC Engagement: Approximately 50% of our clients operate successfully without paid advertising. While beneficial, PPC is not mandatory for success in the Chinese market.
- Domain Requirements: A “.CN” domain or China-based hosting is not compulsory (though strongly recommended for e-commerce). Alternative approaches such as “china.yourbrand.com” or “yourbrand.com/cn” can be effectively registered with Chinese search engines.
- SEO Best Practices: Page optimization remains critical for Baidu’s algorithm. We recommend complementing SEO with strategic SEM/PPC campaigns and ePR activities during key target periods.
- Market Dynamics: PPC pricing in China is highly volatile, with keyword costs fluctuating up to 500% within a 30-day period. Our approach ensures campaigns are managed according to your specific KPIs and ROI objectives.
