Baidu handles most search in China, and it will not index a site whose ownership has not been proved. Getting through that process is where almost every international company stalls. We run it end to end.
Submission, the domain ownership check, and a written indexing report, for a fixed fee. China's other search engines and ongoing submission are optional extras.
Four numbers, each with its source and its date, so you can check every one of them before you spend anything.
Two caveats, since you would find them anyway. StatCounter's Chinese sample is small and leans towards internationally facing sites; domestic panels put Baidu closer to 60 percent, so the spread between measurement methods is wider than the gap between Baidu and the next engine down. And market share is not your share: the only number that describes your own site is how many of your URLs Baidu has actually indexed, and that is what the report at the end of this job counts, one URL at a time.
You give us the domain. We take it from there and deal with whatever Baidu asks for along the way. You need no Chinese phone number, no Chinese entity and no Baidu account of your own; the one thing needed from you is the verification step below.
Baidu accepts nothing until the owner of the domain is proved. We send you a small HTML file, meta tag or DNS record, whichever fits your stack, you publish it, and we confirm once it has been accepted.
Your XML sitemap submitted where Baidu accepts it, plus the URLs that matter most pushed one by one, so the pages you actually sell from are the ones queued first.
A written report after two weeks: verification proof, what was submitted, what Baidu picked up, and the specific technical reasons anything was skipped.
The price is per domain and excludes VAT where it applies. You can enter a VAT ID at checkout.
Both are chosen in the order form below. Neither is needed for the Baidu submission itself.
Baidu is most of Chinese search, not all of it. We verify the same domain with 360 Search, Sogou and Toutiao Search and submit your sitemap and URLs wherever each engine allows it. 360 and Toutiao take both. Sogou takes individual URLs, up to 20 a day, and opens sitemap submission by invitation only. Each engine decides what it indexes, and your report shows what each one picked up.
A verified domain still has to have its new pages pushed if you want them picked up quickly, and the verification has to stay in place. With ongoing submission we submit the pages you publish after the first job, keep the verification current and send you a short indexing report every month, on every engine in your order. €79 a month or €690 a year, cancel any time.
Worth reading before you pay, so there is no argument afterwards.
Any of those can be quoted separately. Write to office@c9group.dev and describe what you need.
No, and that is rather the point of paying someone for this. Everything Baidu asks for at submission time is dealt with on our side. A Chinese entity only becomes relevant if you later want an ICP license and hosting inside the country, which is separate work.
Verification is usually done within a few days of you publishing the file or DNS record. Baidu then crawls on its own schedule, which is why the report comes two weeks after submission rather than immediately.
Getting indexed is the prerequisite, not the result. Baidu strongly favours Simplified Chinese content on fast, China-accessible infrastructure. The report tells you exactly which of those you are missing.
If we cannot get your domain verified for a reason on our side, we refund the fee. If it fails because the site is unreachable from mainland China or blocked under Chinese content rules, we tell you that in writing and refund the difference for the work not done.
Not always. Baidu currently accepts sitemaps only from sites with an ICP filing (ICP备案), which a site hosted outside mainland China does not normally have. When that route is closed, we submit the URLs from your sitemap one at a time instead, the most important first, as far as Baidu's daily limits allow. The report lists every URL we submitted.
Yes. The fee covers one domain. Email office@c9group.dev for several domains or a subdomain structure and we will quote it as one piece of work.
360 Search, Sogou and Toutiao Search. We left out Shenma, whose webmaster platform requires Chinese identity checks, and Bing, which you can submit to yourself, free, through Bing Webmaster Tools. Sogou takes individual URLs only, up to 20 a day for each site, and opens sitemap submission by invitation.
After the first report, we submit the pages you publish (we read your sitemap, so there is nothing to send us), check that the verification is still in place, and email you a short indexing report each month. The first period is billed with your order. Cancel from the billing portal link in your confirmation email, or by replying to it: the subscription ends when the period you have already paid for runs out.
Tell us about the site, choose any extras, then pay through Stripe. We reply within one business day.
