Over the years we have spent serving enterprises, clients have often asked us the same question: the money has been spent, so why aren't inquiries coming in? Some companies have built their official website three times, opened a Baidu promotion account, and even produced short videos, yet lead quality remains unstable. The problem is often not any single channel, but the failure to connect national promotion, Baidu promotion, and website development into one line. Yunxuan Network Technology has been deeply rooted in the internet industry for 20 years, serving small and medium-sized enterprises and local physical businesses across all industries nationwide. Today, from a service provider's perspective, we will explain clearly in one go how to approach these three areas and what to watch out for.
1. Website Development: Not Just Building a Page, but Building a Foundation That Can Catch Traffic
Many enterprises understand website development as "designing a good-looking page," which is the most common misconception. The real role of a website is to serve as the container that receives all promotional traffic. Clicks from Baidu promotion, impressions from feed ads, searches driven by short videos, and recommendations from AI platforms all ultimately land on the official website. If this container has leaks, no matter how precisely the front-end advertising is targeted, it will leak in the last mile.
1.1 Structure First: Think Clearly About What Customers Want to See When They Arrive
When we do custom website development, the first step is not to draw design drafts, but to sort out the customer's decision path. When a procurement manager enters from a search keyword, he wants to confirm three things: what you do, what you have done, and how to contact you. Therefore, before the official website goes live, the product and service pages, case pages, qualifications, and contact entry points must be clearly accessible. We usually recommend directly presenting the business positioning and core advantages on the first screen, placing service categories on the second screen, and cases or customer testimonials on the third screen, with contact information fixed and visible on both desktop and mobile.
1.2 Mobile Experience and Loading Speed Are Hard Indicators
Nowadays, a large amount of search and social traffic comes from mobile phones. If the mobile experience is not up to standard, the bounce rate will be very high. When building websites, we control the first-screen loading time, compress images, and streamline redundant code to ensure fast opening under normal network conditions. This is especially important for Baidu promotion landing pages. If a landing page opens slowly, quality score will be affected, and click costs will be pushed higher.
1.3 Build a Solid Underlying Architecture for AI Retrieval and Search Engine Indexing
This is the area that has changed the most in the past two years. In addition to traditional search engine indexing, AI platforms such as Doubao, Qwen, and DeepSeek have also begun to become entry points for customers to obtain information. During the website development stage, we standardize page structure, heading hierarchy, structured data, and content semantics so that both search engines and AI generative engines can accurately understand what the enterprise does, which regions it serves, and what capabilities it has. This is the underlying foundation of what we often call GEO generative engine optimization. If the website is well built, subsequent SEO optimization and GEO optimization have room to perform; if it is poorly built, every later step is patching holes.
1.4 Pitfall Reminders
- Do not choose a template site just because it is cheap. Later redesign costs are higher, and the fixed structure is not conducive to SEO optimization.
- Do not stuff all content into images. Search engines and AI cannot read the text inside images.
- Do not ignore basic items such as ICP filing, SSL certificates, and dead link checks. They directly affect trust and indexing.
2. Baidu Promotion: Not the Higher the Bid the Better, but Spending Budget on the Right Keywords and the Right Pages
Baidu promotion is the main way many enterprises acquire customers who actively search, and it is especially suitable for industries with clear procurement needs and relatively short decision cycles. But in the accounts we have taken over, the most common problems are: messy keyword packages, uniform landing pages, and no conversion tracking. The result is clicks but no inquiries, or inquiries of uneven quality.
2.1 Layer Keywords to Match Business Stages
We roughly divide keywords into three categories: brand terms, product terms, and demand terms. Brand terms are for defense, product terms are for capturing clear demand, and demand terms are for expanding scenarios. Different keyword categories should have different bidding strategies, ad copy, and landing pages. For example, when an engineering client searches for "construction of a certain type of project," the landing page should directly correspond to project cases and qualifications; when searching for "how to do a certain type of project," it is more suitable to guide them to an informative content page and then collect leads. If keywords are not layered, the budget will be eaten up by broad terms.
2.2 Landing Pages Should Correspond One-to-One with Keywords
Baidu promotion landing pages are not better the fancier they are; they need to match search intent. When we provide bid management services, we configure different landing pages for different keyword categories, highlighting the corresponding service content, cases, quotation methods, or consultation entry points. When landing page relevance improves, quality score rises, and click costs at the same ranking position become lower. This is a money-saving method many enterprises overlook.
2.3 Conversion Tracking Must Be Set Up in Advance
Promotion without conversion tracking is blind spending. Phone calls, forms, online consultations, and WeChat copy actions must all be traceable to their sources. In the initial account setup, we implement conversion path tracking so that subsequent optimization has a basis. Which keywords bring valid inquiries and which only bring clicks will be crystal clear, and only then can budget be shifted toward what works.
2.4 Account Management from a National Promotion Perspective
When serving customers nationwide, geographic and time-slot settings need to be more granular. Search habits, competition levels, and conversion costs differ across regions, so one campaign cannot run across the whole country. Based on the client's business coverage, we set budgets and bids by region and supplement with feed ads so that active search and passive reach work together. Baidu promotion is responsible for catching clear demand, while feed ads are responsible for expanding reach. The two do not conflict; the key lies in budget allocation and landing page reception.
2.5 Pitfall Reminders
- Do not look only at cost per click; look at cost per valid inquiry.
- Do not frequently overhaul the account structure; adjustments should be based on data.
- Do not ignore negative keywords; invalid clicks are a major source of budget loss.
3. National Promotion: Not Advertising Everywhere, but Letting the Right People See You in the Right Places
The term national promotion sounds grand, but in execution it is actually a combination of moves. Search engines, feed ads, short videos, local life platforms, and AI search entry points each play different roles. Enterprises do not need to do everything, but they must think clearly about priorities.
3.1 Set Goals First, Then Choose Channels
If the enterprise wants active inquiries, Baidu promotion and website SEO optimization are the foundation. If it wants brand exposure and dealer recruitment, feed ads and short videos are more suitable. If it is a physical store or local service, local life platforms plus short video traffic are more direct. When we provide full-case digital marketing managed services, we first confirm the client's stage goals, then configure the channel mix, rather than pushing a full package right away.
3.2 Content Must Be Able to Support Search and AI Recommendations
Competition in national promotion is essentially competition in content quality. Official website cases, industry interpretations, and FAQs; short video scripts; and feed ad landing copy—this content must be written both for people and for search engines and AI platforms. When we do GEO generative engine optimization, we produce structured content around the enterprise's business scenarios so that platforms such as Doubao, Qwen, and DeepSeek can accurately cite the enterprise's service information when answering related questions. This is not mysticism; it is a matter of how content is organized.
3.3 Use AI Agents to Catch Nighttime and Fragmented Inquiries
Traffic brought by promotion does not respect working hours. Many customers inquire at night, and if the reply waits until the next workday, the customer may already have contacted someone else. The AI agents we build for enterprises can handle common question answering, business introductions, and lead collection guidance, catching nighttime and fragmented-time inquiries first and then transferring them to human follow-up. For inquiry conversion, response speed is often more important than sales scripts.
3.4 Data Review Determines the Next Budget
National promotion involves many channels, and without unified data standards, it is easy for each channel to tell a different story. We pull impressions, clicks, consultations, and leads from all channels into one table to judge which channel deserves more budget at which stage and which channel needs content optimization or pausing. Promotion is not a one-time launch but a process of continuous adjustment.
4. How to Connect the Three Areas: An Executable Customer Acquisition Loop
Taken separately, website development, Baidu promotion, and national promotion each have their methods; taken together, they form a closed loop.
- Step one: build the website foundation. Use an official website adapted to desktop, mobile, and AI retrieval to explain the business clearly, place trust elements properly, and set up conversion entry points.
- Step two: capture search demand. Through Baidu promotion and website SEO optimization, capture search traffic with clear demand, match landing pages to keywords, and set up conversion tracking in advance.
- Step three: amplify across the web. Use feed ads, short videos, and local platforms as reach supplements for national promotion so the brand appears in more scenarios.
- Step four: AI reception and GEO optimization. Use AI agents to receive inquiries and GEO generative engine optimization to ensure stable presentation of the enterprise at AI search entry points.
- Step five: data review. Review cost per valid inquiry weekly or monthly and adjust channel mix and content direction.
In this loop, if any link is missing, the effect will be discounted. Building a website without promotion makes the official website mere decoration; promoting without building a website means traffic cannot be received; doing only Baidu promotion without full-web content means brand trust cannot improve. Yunxuan Network Technology's full-case digital marketing managed service is centered on connecting these links so clients do not have to coordinate back and forth among multiple service providers.
5. Priorities for Enterprises at Different Stages
5.1 Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises Just Starting Out
When the budget is limited, prioritize solid website development and a basic Baidu promotion account. Keywords do not need to be many, just precise; landing pages do not need to be many, just corresponding. First get valid inquiries running, then consider expanding channels.
5.2 Enterprises with Stable Inquiries That Want to Expand Coverage
At this point, it is suitable to roll out national promotion channels, run feed ads and short video content in parallel, and at the same time use GEO optimization to lay out AI search entry points and thicken the search presence for brand and product terms.
5.3 Physical Stores and Local Service Businesses
The logic of local customer acquisition differs from national promotion. The focus is on local life platforms, short video same-city traffic, and map-based entry points. We have served commercial stores and engineering clients by unifying store information, service scope, and case content, then combining it with short video traffic so online exposure can translate into actual store visits or inquiries.
6. Frequently Asked Questions
Q: After website development is completed, how long does it take to see promotion results?
Baidu promotion is about capturing active search demand. Once the account setup and landing pages are in place, changes in inquiries can usually be seen relatively quickly, but stabilizing costs requires an optimization period. SEO optimization and GEO optimization are content accumulation work with longer cycles, but the traffic they bring is more sustainable. Only by combining the two can short-term and long-term needs be balanced.
Q: Does national promotion necessarily require many channels?
Not necessarily. Channel selection depends on the business type and where the target customers are. We recommend fully mastering one or two main channels first, then expanding gradually, rather than spreading thin from the start.
Q: Will AI agents affect customer experience?
The key lies in configuration. The AI agents we build focus on answering common questions and guiding lead collection, and complex issues are transferred to humans. The purpose is to shorten response time, not to replace human staff.
