The China SEM Landscape

Paid search in China, often referred to as SEM or pay-per-click (PPC), is forever in a state of flux. Google has long been forgotten, and local players are constantly jockeying for consumer loyalty, market share, and seeing who can cut the most partnership deals.

We know what it takes to excel in China’s competitive paid search arena.

While Baidu still dominates the search engine market, the re-branding and re-emergence of 360 Search has impacted the market, necessitating smarter paid search strategies to be successful.

Our SEM agency team can support your China paid strategy in:

  • Native team based in China
  • Strategic budget allocation across diverse platforms
  • Extensive keyword research
  • Ad copywriting
  • Active bid management
  • Analysis and reporting in English
