Baidu Webmaster Tools is where a site owner sees what Baidu has indexed and how its crawler treats the site. Opening an account takes a mainland Chinese mobile number, so most companies outside China never see their own data. We show it to you in our portal.
Every Baidu submission order includes 12 months of access for the domain in the order. You see your own site and nothing else, and you need no Baidu account.
Three things stand between a company outside China and its own Baidu data. None of them is technical.
A Baidu account is opened with an SMS code sent to a mainland Chinese mobile number. Numbers from Hong Kong, Taiwan, the EU or the UK are refused at that step.
Depending on what you do next, Baidu can ask for real-name verification against a Chinese ID card or a Chinese business licence.
The console has no English interface. Baidu's documentation and its support tickets are in Chinese too.
The data Baidu keeps about your domain, three ways to send it your new pages, and a record of what has already been sent.
How many of your pages Baidu holds in its index, and how that number moves after each submission. It is the one figure that tells you whether Baidu has taken the site in.
How often Baiduspider visits, and which fetches failed, with the reason Baidu gives for each. A firewall rule that blocks Chinese traffic, for example, shows up here as failed fetches.
Add every sitemap your site has, not just one. Switch on automatic submission, which is optional, and the portal reads your sitemaps and submits their URLs to Baidu for you, within the daily quota Baidu sets for your site.
Send new URLs from your CMS or your deployment pipeline with an API key of your own, so a page goes to Baidu as soon as it is published. The key is in the portal, and you can replace it yourself whenever you need to.
Connect our MCP server to an AI assistant or agent that supports the Model Context Protocol, and it can submit your URLs to Baidu as part of its work.
The URLs submitted for your domain, in one list, so you can see what has already gone to Baidu before you spend more of the quota.
Baidu sets the rules below. Neither we nor the portal can change them, so you should know them before you order.
No. Baidu Webmaster Tools, officially the Baidu Search Resource Platform (百度搜索资源平台), is Baidu's console at ziyuan.baidu.com. Our portal is a separate tool, run by us, that shows your domain's data from it and submits URLs on your behalf. C9 Group is not affiliated with Baidu.
No, and no Chinese company either. The one thing Baidu needs from you is proof that you own the domain: a file, meta tag or DNS record you publish once.
No. Your login shows the domain you ordered for and nothing else.
As many as Baidu allows for your site. Baidu sets a daily quota per site, and every submission draws on the same one: automatic submission from your sitemaps, the API, MCP, and the submissions we make for you. For a site hosted outside mainland China without an ICP filing, expect a small number and use it on the pages that matter most.
No, the portal is for Baidu. If you add those three engines to your order, what each of them picked up is in your indexing report.
One order covers the domain ownership check, the submission, a written indexing report after two weeks, and 12 months in the portal.
