Over the past two years, the entry points through which businesses acquire customers have changed visibly. In the past, when customers looked for products, their first instinct was to open Baidu and search for keywords; now more and more people directly ask Doubao, Qwen, or DeepSeek to recommend a few reliable suppliers. When the traffic entry point changes, a company's promotion logic has to adjust accordingly. Yunxuan Network Technology has served small and medium-sized enterprises nationwide for 20 years, and we have observed that companies with stable inquiry flow tend not to bet on a single channel, but instead connect website SEO, generative engine optimization, and PPC management into one integrated effort. In this article, from a service provider's perspective, we explain clearly how to implement this three-piece suite and what to watch out for.
1. First, Understand Why These Three Things Must Be Done Together
Many business owners have an inertial way of thinking: if you invest in PPC, you get inquiries, and if you stop, they disappear; if you do SEO, rankings come up, but the cycle is too long; AI search has just emerged, so let's wait and see. Viewed separately, every channel has shortcomings, but combined, they actually form a complete customer acquisition chain.
To use an analogy: PPC management is like renting a storefront—good location, quick results, but rent must be paid continuously; website SEO is like building your own house—slow at first, but once built, it becomes an asset; generative engine optimization is like entering your store's information into the city navigation system, so when someone asks for directions, AI can accurately recommend you. When the three work together, you get short-term volume, long-term foundation, and future positioning.
When serving clients nationwide, Yunxuan Network Technology usually recommends that enterprises allocate budget and effort according to the rhythm of 'PPC leading the charge, SEO building the foundation, and GEO seizing the future.' Below, we break down each one.
2. Website SEO: It Is Not as Simple as Publishing Articles
1. The Underlying Architecture Determines the Ceiling of SEO
When many enterprises come to us for website SEO, their first sentence is often, 'Help me publish some articles and build some backlinks.' But in practice, if the website's underlying architecture has problems, publishing more content yields twice the effort for half the result. What does it mean for the underlying architecture to have problems? Here are a few common examples:
- The website uses pure JS rendering, so search engine crawlers see a blank page;
- Mobile and PC content are inconsistent, and the mobile version lacks key product information;
- The URL structure is chaotic, with a pile of parameters, making indexing extremely inefficient;
- Page load speed exceeds 5 seconds, and users close it before it even opens.
When building corporate official websites, Yunxuan Network Technology front-loads SEO requirements into the development stage. For example, pages use server-side rendering to ensure crawlers can directly read the content; URL hierarchy is kept within three levels; images are compressed and lazy-loaded; and mobile adaptation ensures complete content. These tasks are done conveniently during website construction; changing them later costs several times more.
2. Keyword Layout Should 'Capture the Big Without Letting Go of the Small'
The core of website SEO is keywords. But many enterprises only fixate on a few big terms, such as 'internet promotion' or 'website construction.' These terms are highly competitive, and new sites find it hard to rank for them quickly. Yunxuan Network Technology's approach is: big terms for the long term, long-tail terms for the short term.
Specifically, break core business terms into combinations of 'region + need + scenario.' For example, an engineering company can, in addition to big terms like 'engineering company,' also lay out long-tail terms such as 'steel structure factory cost,' 'factory renovation construction process,' and 'which engineering companies in Zhanjiang are reliable.' These terms do not have large search volume, but their intent is clear and conversion rates are high. When helping clients with website SEO, Yunxuan Network Technology first sorts out 30 to 50 long-tail keywords and assigns them to different category pages and article pages to form a content matrix.
3. Content Updates Need a 'Sense of Rhythm'
Search engines like active websites, but they do not like meaningless filler. We recommend clients maintain an update frequency of 2 to 3 original or deeply curated pieces per week, with content centered on questions customers truly care about. For example, an export factory can write about 'common issues in export customs declaration' or 'overseas customer factory audit process'; a local service store can write about 'service process breakdown' or 'price composition explanation.' This content both helps potential customers and is judged by search engines as professional content.
One reminder: do not use AI to mass-generate low-quality articles and publish them directly. Search engines' recognition capabilities are upgrading, and low-quality content not only fails to rank but may also drag down the entire site's authority. In content production, Yunxuan Network Technology combines clients' industry experience with our editorial processing to ensure every piece of content adds informational value.
4. Backlink Building Should 'Emphasize Quality Over Quantity'
Backlinks remain an important SEO factor, but the playbook has changed. The old methods of mass distribution and buying links are now easily penalized. We recommend enterprises focus their energy on several types of high-quality backlinks: submissions to industry portals, friendly links with partners, and inclusion of enterprise information on authoritative platforms (such as the enterprise credit information publicity system and industry yellow pages). Quantity does not need to be large; the key is relevance and stability.
3. Generative Engine Optimization: The 'New SEO' in the Age of AI Search
1. What Is Generative Engine Optimization?
Generative Engine Optimization, or GEO, is content optimization for AI search platforms. When users ask questions to Doubao, Qwen, or DeepSeek, AI retrieves and integrates information from its knowledge base and then generates an answer. If your enterprise information, product information, and service cases can be accurately captured and cited by AI, you effectively gain a 'recommendation slot' in AI's answers.
This is similar in logic to traditional SEO—both aim to make content recognized and trusted by machines—but the optimization target has shifted from search engine crawlers to AI models. Yunxuan Network Technology began laying out GEO services in 2024 and has already helped a group of clients gain stable brand exposure on mainstream AI platforms.
2. Three Levers of GEO Optimization
Based on our practical experience, generative engine optimization mainly starts from three directions:
- Structured content development. AI likes clear, logical information. Organize your company's service items, price ranges, service processes, and frequently asked questions into structured content and place it on your official website and authoritative platforms, making it easier for AI to capture and cite. For example, break 'website construction services' into modules such as 'service content—delivery cycle—price composition—after-sales support,' and describe each module clearly in concise language.
- Consistency of information across multiple platforms. When AI retrieves information, it cross-verifies multiple sources. If the information on your official website, encyclopedia, industry platforms, and press releases is inconsistent, AI may lower its trust. When helping clients with GEO optimization, Yunxuan Network Technology first conducts a round of information calibration to ensure the brand name, business description, and contact information are unified across platforms.
- Q&A-style content layout. Users of AI search often ask questions in natural language, such as 'Which companies in Zhanjiang do internet promotion?' or 'How much does corporate website construction generally cost?' For such questions, laying out Q&A-style content in advance on the official website and content platforms significantly increases the probability of being cited by AI.
3. The Relationship Between GEO and Traditional SEO
Some people ask: if we do GEO, do we no longer need to do SEO? Our answer is: the two do not conflict and actually reinforce each other. If website SEO is done well and the website has high authority in search engines, AI will also be more inclined to crawl it during retrieval. Conversely, the structured content produced in GEO optimization can also improve the website's professionalism and indexing volume. When serving clients, Yunxuan Network Technology usually coordinates website SEO and generative engine optimization within the same content strategy rather than separating them.
4. Pitfalls to Avoid
GEO is a new field, and some service providers with exaggerated claims have already appeared on the market. Enterprises should note several points: first, AI platform algorithms and indexing rules are changing rapidly, and no one can guarantee 'definitely being recommended'; second, GEO results require time to accumulate, usually 2 to 3 months before obvious changes appear; third, do not use false information to 'feed' AI, because once identified, brand credibility will be damaged. In GEO services, Yunxuan Network Technology insists on using real, professional content for optimization, does not promise specific rankings, but promises continuous iteration.
4. PPC Management: Spend Money Where It Counts
1. PPC Management Is Not Just 'Adjusting Bids for You'
Many enterprises open their own Baidu promotion accounts and think PPC management means hiring someone to adjust bids and add keywords. In fact, professional PPC management is a systematic project involving account structure setup, keyword tiering, ad copywriting, landing page optimization, data tracking, and continuous tuning.
When taking over a client's account, Yunxuan Network Technology usually first conducts an account diagnosis. We find that common waste points include: keyword match types are too broad, causing a large number of invalid clicks; ad copy and landing pages are disconnected, so users click in and find it is not what they wanted; mobile landing pages open slowly with high bounce rates; and conversion tracking is not done well, so there is no idea which keyword brought inquiries.
2. Account Structure: From 'One Big Pot' to 'Refined Management'
A healthy PPC account should be layered by business line, region, device, and time period. For example, a company doing nationwide business can group its account by 'East China,' 'South China,' and 'North China,' and then subdivide each group by product line. The purpose is to direct budget toward regions and products with high conversion rates rather than distributing it evenly.
Keywords should also be managed in tiers. Core terms, long-tail terms, competitor terms, and brand terms each have different bidding strategies and match types. Core terms can appropriately use broader matching to capture traffic; long-tail terms should use exact matching to control costs; competitor terms should be handled cautiously to avoid malicious clicks. In its PPC management services, Yunxuan Network Technology builds a keyword tiering table for clients and adjusts it weekly based on data.
3. Landing Pages: The 'Last Mile' of PPC
The landing page of a PPC ad directly determines conversion rate. We have seen too many enterprises write excellent ad copy, but when users click through, they land on a homepage and still have to find information themselves. A good landing page should achieve: content consistent with the ad copy, prominent form or consultation entry, fast loading speed, and smooth mobile experience.
When helping clients with PPC management, Yunxuan Network Technology also optimizes landing pages. For example, for the term 'website construction,' the landing page directly displays the website construction service content, cases, price range, and consultation entry, rather than making users browse menus on the homepage. A 10% increase in landing page conversion rate is equivalent to saving 10% of the PPC budget.
4. Data Tracking: No Tracking, No Optimization
The core of PPC management is data. If you do not know which keyword, time period, or region brought inquiries, optimization has no basis. We recommend enterprises do at least three layers of tracking: click data from the advertising platform, website analytics data (such as Baidu Analytics), and final inquiry source tagging. In its services, Yunxuan Network Technology helps clients connect these three layers of data to form a clear conversion report and review it weekly.
5. Common Misconceptions About PPC Management
- Looking only at cost per click, not cost per conversion. Cheap clicks with no inquiries mean money wasted.
- Frequently adjusting bids. PPC algorithms need a learning period, and frequent changes prevent the model from stabilizing.
- Ignoring negative keywords. Not adding negative terms brings a large number of irrelevant clicks.
- Putting all budget into one channel. Baidu, feed ads, and Douyin each have applicable scenarios; combined placement is more stable.
5. How the Three-Piece Suite Works Together: A Reference Rhythm
Having said all this, how should enterprises actually arrange things? Based on its experience serving clients nationwide, Yunxuan Network Technology offers a reference rhythm:
First month: Focus on PPC management to quickly obtain the first batch of inquiries, while collecting keyword data to understand customers' real search habits. Simultaneously start basic website SEO optimization, solving issues such as website architecture, loading speed, and mobile adaptation.
Second to third months: PPC continues to run, but optimize the account structure and landing pages based on the first month's data. Website SEO begins producing content and laying out long-tail keywords. Basic work for generative engine optimization starts, organizing structured content and calibrating multi-platform information.
Fourth to sixth months: Website SEO begins to gain organic rankings, and some long-tail keywords bring free traffic. GEO optimization shows initial results, and AI platforms begin citing enterprise information. The conversion cost of PPC management stabilizes. At this point, enterprises can gradually reduce the proportion of PPC budget and invest the savings into content and GEO optimization.
This rhythm is not fixed; different industries and levels of competition will vary. But the core logic is: use PPC to buy time, use SEO to build assets, and use GEO to occupy the future.

Each client has a different starting point, but the goal is the same: obtain more stable inquiries at a more reasonable cost.
7. A Few Practical Suggestions for Business Owners
Finally, based on our daily communication experience with clients, here are a few suggestions for business owners considering internet promotion:
- First clarify your goal. Do you want brand exposure or direct inquiries? Different goals require completely different channel combinations and budget allocation.
- Do not be greedy; get one channel working first. Some enterprises open five channels at once, but end up doing none well. We suggest first running one channel to a proven model, then replicating it to other channels.
- Value content, but do not force yourself to write it. Content is important, but business owners usually do not have time to write. You can work with a professional team, but be sure to provide industry materials to ensure the content contains real information.
- Look at data, but do not look only at numbers. Inquiry volume, conversion cost, and deal cycle should be considered together. Sometimes fewer inquiries but higher quality is actually a good thing.
- Give optimization time. Website SEO and GEO optimization both require 2 to 3 months to show obvious results, and PPC management also needs at least a one-month optimization cycle. Frequently changing service providers or strategies often wastes all previous efforts.
There is no one-size-fits-all trick in internet promotion, but there is methodology. Yunxuan Network Technology is willing to share the experience accumulated over 20 years to help more enterprises avoid detours. If you are worried about customer acquisition, why not start with one of these three things: website SEO, generative engine optimization, or PPC management. Once done right, inquiries will gradually stabilize.
