Entry strategy
We define objectives, buyers, territory, channels and mode of presence. We assess whether to work directly, through distributors, with local partners or with a mixed model.
The answer depends on the product, the sector and how much control the company wants to keep.
Accessible and verified web presence
We analyse the existing site and choose the most suitable architecture: hosting in mainland China, infrastructure in nearby regions or optimised international solutions. When the site is hosted in China we handle the required procedures with our partners, including ICP registration.
The result is verified from inside China, because “it opens fine here” isn't a particularly useful test.
Visibility on Chinese search engines
We optimise structure, technology and content for Baidu and for the engines relevant to the project: indexing, page architecture, terminology, technical content and authority signals.
We don't translate Western SEO. We rebuild visibility around the searches of the local audience.
Local platforms and channels
We select platforms based on the buyer journey, not on their popularity. WeChat, B2B marketplaces, vertical portals, professional directories and industry channels can play different roles.
We only activate what the team can actually maintain and use.
Naming and identity in Chinese
A name can be transcribed phonetically, translated by meaning or rethought to combine sound and positioning. The choice must also be checked against trademark availability and protection, with qualified professionals.
The name comes before the campaign. Fixing it afterwards is decidedly less fun.
Content written for the market
We produce texts, datasheets, presentations, landing pages and sales material in Simplified Chinese, adapting priorities, examples, arguments and terminology to the audience and the sector.
Where needed we involve native speakers and local partners to check that the content isn't only correct, but natural and credible.
Design and trust signals
We adapt hierarchies, information density, navigation, visual elements and proof of reliability.
There is no single “Chinese design”. An industrial buyer, a distributor and a consumer have different expectations: we build on the real audience, not on stereotypes.
Accounts, data and ownership
Before opening domains, accounts and platforms we define registrants, access, where data is stored, credential management, which information may cross borders and how to recover it.
The solution must stay governable by the client, even if one day they change partner.
Compliance
Hosting, data, content, commercial activity and platforms can carry different requirements. We analyse the architecture with technical partners and involve local professionals for legal, administrative and regulatory matters.
Responsibilities are defined in the project, without turning marketing into improvised legal advice.
