seo in APAC

China's online advertising market saw the largest growth from short video ads and social ads to search engine ads
If you want to expand your business and increase your brand recognition online in APAC, SEO is an important part that you can't ignore, as it allows your target audience to easily find you via searching.
However, SEO rules are a little bit different in APAC than in other parts of the world: For example, as Google is not accessible in China, the most popular search engine is Baidu, which takes 70% of the market share. The rest of the market is shared by other popular local search engines like 360, Shenma (belongs to Alibaba group), and Sogou.
In general, it is not an easy thing to do search engine optimisation in APAC for overseas brands. It requires not only professional SEO knowledge but also native language content creation and a well-understanding of local user’s behaviour. For instance, over 80% of Chinese users will use Baidu and 360 in a PC environment, while most mobile users will search for their questions on Baidu.
