One domain · €490 one time

Get your website submitted to Baidu

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. Fixed fee, no retainer.

What the €490 covers

The submission, run end to end

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.

The domain ownership check

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.

Sitemap and URL submission

Your XML sitemap submitted, plus the URLs that matter most pushed one by one, so the pages you actually sell from are the ones queued first.

An indexing report

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.

How it runs

  1. 1You fill in the form and pay the one-time fee.
  2. 2We come back within one business day with the verification file or DNS record you need to publish.
  3. 3Once ownership is proved, we submit your sitemap and push your priority URLs.
  4. 4Two weeks later you get the indexing report.

What this does not include

Worth reading before you pay, so there is no argument afterwards.

  • An ICP license. That needs a Chinese business entity and is a separate, much longer process.
  • Hosting inside mainland China.
  • Writing or translating Simplified Chinese content.
  • A ranking guarantee. Nobody can promise Baidu positions, and anyone who does is selling you something else.
  • A Baidu account in your own name. We run the submission and send you the report; account credentials are not part of it.

Any of those can be quoted separately. Write to office@c9group.dev and describe what you need.

Questions people ask first

Do I need a Chinese phone number or a Chinese company?

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.

How long does it take?

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.

Will my site rank on Baidu after this?

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.

What if my site cannot be verified?

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.

Can you do this for more than one domain?

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.
