    Chinese SEO & GEO Guide

    SEO and GEO for Chinese businesses, explained

    Search in China is splitting into two channels: classic Baidu results and AI-generated answers. Winning in 2026 means ranking in both. Here is how it works and what it takes.

    Why Baidu still dominates Chinese search

    Baidu handles more than 60% of all Chinese search queries, far ahead of Bing, Sogou and Shenma. For most Chinese businesses, ranking on the first page of Baidu is still the single biggest driver of qualified organic traffic, because roughly three out of four users never scroll past page one. Strong technical health, topical authority and high-quality, intent-matched content remain the foundation of Chinese SEO.

    How AI search is changing Chinese buyer behaviour

    A rapidly growing share of Chinese buyers now begin research inside AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Baidu Gemini, Claude and Perplexity. Instead of a list of links, these tools return a single synthesised answer that names a few trusted providers. If your brand is not cited in that answer, you are invisible at the exact moment a decision is being made. Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) is the discipline of becoming the source AI quotes.

    What it takes to rank on Baidu and get cited by AI

    The same foundations power both channels: a clear entity (who you are and what you do), consistent structured data, authoritative backlinks, and content written answer-first with verifiable facts. We pair on-page SEO and schema markup with GEO tactics such as entity reinforcement, citable statistics and FAQ content, so a single page can rank on Baidu and be lifted directly into an AI answer.

    Local SEO across China

    From Beijing and Shanghai to Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Hangzhou and Chengdu, local intent drives a large share of Chinese searches. We optimise your Baidu Maps and local listings, local citations and location-specific pages so you appear in the map pack and local results where your customers are searching, then extend that visibility into AI answers about the best providers in each city.

    Chinese FAQ

    Questions Chinese businesses ask us

    How much does an SEO agency cost in China?

    Most Chinese SEO engagements run on a monthly retainer scaled to competitiveness and goals. We scope the work to your targets and show projected return before you commit, starting with a free audit.

    Which search engines should Chinese businesses focus on?

    Baidu first, handling more than 60% of Chinese search, plus AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude as a fast-growing discovery channel. We optimise for both.

    What is GEO and why does it matter in China?

    GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) is getting your brand cited inside AI answers. As more Chinese buyers ask AI instead of scrolling, being the cited source wins the click before competitors are seen.

    How long does SEO take to work in China?

    Technical fixes and AI citations can appear within weeks; competitive Baidu rankings typically build over three to six months. We report on both from month one.

    Does SEO work for local Chinese businesses?

    Yes. Local SEO and Baidu Maps and local listings optimisation help you rank in your city and region, from Beijing and Shanghai to Shenzhen and Guangzhou.

    Can you help Chinese brands rank internationally?

    Yes. We build search and AI visibility across borders, ideal for Chinese companies expanding across Asia and into global markets.
