Many business owners ask us: What is the most effective way to do online promotion? Is website building just about creating a page? And what exactly is an AI agent? Over the past three years, we at Yunxuan Network Technology have served hundreds of SMEs nationwide—from engineering companies in Zhanjiang to manufacturing plants in the Pearl River Delta, and trading stores in the Yangtze River Delta. The problems they face are strikingly similar: money is spent, traffic comes, but inquiries don't follow—or there's no traffic at all. In this article, I'll skip the fluff and directly break down a strategy our team has repeatedly validated with clients: how website building, online promotion, and AI agents can be woven together to help businesses win in the national market.
1. Website Building: Not Just Creating a Page, but Building the Foundation for Conversion
Many companies think website building means buying a template, adding a company introduction and product images, and calling it done. But in our view, website building is the foundation of all online promotion. If the foundation is weak, all the advertising money spent later is wasted. Why? Because when users click your Baidu ad, watch your Douyin video, or ask an AI agent about your product, they eventually land on your website. If the site experience is poor, users leave in seconds; if it loads slowly, they leave; if the content is hollow, they don't trust you. These losses are real money down the drain.
When we build websites for clients, we never use templates. The first step is to sort out the business logic: what you sell, who you sell to, what customers care about most, and what your core competitiveness is. Then we structure this information into clear sections and pages. For example, when serving an engineering company in Zhanjiang, we found their customers cared most about engineering qualifications and past cases. So we highlighted these two areas on the homepage and added an online consultation form and a one-click call button. After the site went live, combined with search promotion, inquiries tripled compared to before.
Website building also needs to consider mobile adaptation. Now over 60% of traffic comes from mobile devices. If your website looks cramped and buttons are unclickable on a phone, users won't stay. All our websites are responsive, adapting to computers, tablets, and phones, with optimized loading speeds—lazy loading for images, compressed code—ensuring they open within 3 seconds. These details directly affect conversion rates.
Another often-overlooked point: the SEO foundation of the website. When building, we optimize for search engines at the code level: TDK tags, semantic HTML, internal linking, sitemap submission, and structured data markup. These technical details determine whether your site gets indexed and understood by Baidu, Bing, and even AI search engines. Some clients previously used cheap website builders and their sites weren't indexed for a year—like building an island. Our sites get crawled by major search engines within two weeks of launch, laying the groundwork for future SEO.
2. Online Promotion: Multi-Channel Combination to Cover the National Market
Once the website is ready, the next step is online promotion. Many business owners ask: Should I do Baidu promotion or Douyin promotion? My answer: It depends on where your customers are. But usually, we recommend a combination rather than betting on a single channel, because different channels have different user mindsets and conversion paths.
Baidu promotion (including search ads and feed ads) is suitable for capturing high-intent users. When users actively search for keywords like "engineering qualification agency" or "stainless steel processing factory," they are already looking for suppliers. If your ad appears at the top of search results, clicks become high-quality inquiries. One of our clients, a mechanical parts manufacturer, invested in keywords like "precision parts processing" on Baidu with a daily budget of 300 yuan, generating over 80 effective inquiries per month with a conversion rate of about 15%. This ROI far exceeds traditional offline sales reps.
Douyin promotion and feed ads are better for brand exposure and sparking interest. Users may not have an immediate need, but after seeing your product video, they get interested, click into your profile, and leave contact info via private message or website. We served a trading store in Zhanjiang that increased foot traffic by 40% through a combination of Douyin short videos and local promotion. But note: Douyin content needs to be scenario-based and emotional, not just product images. Our team helps clients script, shoot, and edit videos to make them feel like authentic sharing.
Beyond Baidu and Douyin, we also help clients with content marketing on Xiaohongshu, Zhihu, and Bilibili. For B2B companies, professional articles on Zhihu and Baijiahao build trust; for B2C stores, influencer visits on Xiaohongshu and Douyin drive foot traffic. Nationwide promotion isn't about doing every platform; it's about selecting 2-3 main platforms based on industry, customer profile, and budget, and going deep to get results.
3. AI Agents: Making Your Website and Promotion Smarter
When it comes to AI agents, many clients are both curious and unfamiliar. In fact, an AI agent is your company's dedicated digital employee, available 24/7 on your website, WeChat, and Douyin DMs to receive customers. Why do we strongly recommend deploying AI agents? Because traditional online promotion has a pain point: traffic comes, but your salespeople can't be online 24/7. If a potential customer visits your website at 10 PM and finds no one to answer their questions, they might go to a competitor. AI agents solve exactly this problem.
The AI agents we build for clients are not simple Q&A bots; they are trained on the company's knowledge base. We feed the AI with product information, FAQs, pricing ranges, cooperation processes, and case details, so it can answer customer questions like a seasoned salesperson. For example, if a customer asks "Can you do non-standard customization?", the AI will give an accurate answer based on your production capacity and cases, and guide the customer to leave contact information. One of our clients, an electronic components manufacturer, saw a 50% increase in after-hours lead generation after deploying the AI agent. Many customers were surprised the next morning: "Was that inquiry last night real?"
AI agents can also proactively engage. On platforms like Douyin and Baidu, AI agents can automatically reply to DMs and comments, filter high-intent customers, and filter out low-quality conversations. They can also record each customer's conversation and sync it to the CRM system for sales follow-up. This is like giving your company a tireless sales assistant at a fraction of the cost of hiring a person.
More cutting-edge, combining AI agents with GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) can help businesses capture AI search traffic. More and more people are using AI tools like Doubao, Qianwen, and DeepSeek to search for products and services. If your company information is accurately cited by these AIs, you gain a free, high-quality traffic source. Through GEO optimization, we publish and optimize company-related content on AI platforms, so when AI answers user questions, it mentions your company and products first. We've already helped multiple clients achieve brand exposure in AI search, with very high inquiry quality.
4. Three Steps: The Complete Process from Website Building to AI Agent Implementation
After all this, some bosses might feel a bit overwhelmed. Let me lay out a clear three-step process, which is our standard path for serving clients.
Step 1: Diagnosis and Planning. We first spend a week deeply understanding your industry, products, target customers, competitors, and your current promotion channels and website. Then we deliver a customized digital marketing plan, including website revision suggestions, promotion channel mix, budget allocation, and expected performance metrics. This plan is not a template; it's tailored to your business.
Step 2: Building and Launching. After the plan is confirmed, we start building the website and setting up the AI agent. The website is developed according to the SEO standards mentioned earlier to ensure search engine friendliness. The AI agent is trained on your business knowledge base and tested for dialogue quality. Meanwhile, we set up Baidu and Douyin ad accounts, install conversion tracking codes, and ensure every penny's effect can be tracked. This phase typically takes 2-4 weeks.
Step 3: Operation and Optimization. After launch, we don't just walk away. Our operations team continuously monitors data: which keywords bring inquiries, which ad creatives have high CTR, whether the AI agent's responses have gaps, and whether the website's bounce rate is normal. We output weekly data reports and adjust strategies accordingly. For example, if a keyword's conversion cost is too high, we lower the bid or change the match type; if an AI dialogue scenario is poorly handled, we optimize the knowledge base. This continuous optimization is the key to sustained improvement.
5. Pitfall Guide: The 4 Most Common Mistakes in SME Online Promotion
Finally, drawing on years of experience, I'd like to remind you of the 4 pitfalls that SMEs are most likely to fall into.
Pitfall 1: Only doing promotion, ignoring the website. Many companies spend big money on Baidu ads, but the landing page is an old website from years ago—slow to load, messy content, no online consultation. It's like opening a store and advertising to bring people to the door, but the door is locked. We recommend checking the website experience before promoting; even just optimizing the landing page can double conversion rates.
Pitfall 2: Blindly pursuing low-cost website building. Template sites for a few hundred yuan look cheap, but they have messy code, slow loading, poor mobile compatibility, and are hard to revise later. We've seen too many clients who couldn't do SEO because of cheap sites and had to start over. Website building is a long-term investment; spending a few thousand more gets you a sales platform that actually makes money. Do the math.
Pitfall 3: Ignoring data tracking. Some companies run Baidu ads but don't know which keywords brought inquiries or which ad creatives worked. Without data tracking, it's like driving with your eyes closed—all optimization is empty talk. We deploy analytics tools and conversion tracking on all client websites, so every inquiry can be traced back to a specific channel and keyword, enabling continuous optimization.
Pitfall 4: Thinking AI agents are omnipotent. AI agents do improve efficiency, but they are not human; some complex issues still require human intervention. When we build AI agents, we set up a handoff mechanism: when the AI can't answer or the customer is upset, it automatically transfers to a human agent. This ensures a good experience without burdening the company.
