Digital marketing in China is dominated by Baidu and Bing, which together have over 75% of the search engine market share. Launching a paid search campaign on Baidu requires a minimum $2,000 investment utilized over 3 months as well as submitting a business certificate and insertion order. Launching on Google also requires business licenses and approval certificates prior to launch. A digital strategy in China must target both mobile and desktop to increase reach and conversions, as more people in China own mobile devices and search on mobile than desktop.
