GEO FOR CHINA
Two ways to understand how your organisation appears in China
Choose self-service Chinese AI assessment for repeatable testing, or a specialist managed audit when the decision journey extends across traveller platforms, social search, maps and action paths.
SELF-SERVICE
GEO Workspace
China Audience GEO across major Chinese AI engines
Build structured Simplified-Chinese assessments, compare evidence across configured AI engines and identify where your organisation is visible, substituted, weakly supported or difficult to act on.
- 20-question standard assessment
- 6-engine China AI testing
- Model Only + Search Enhanced
- Evidence-linked results and reports
What’s Changing in China’s Discovery and Conversion Journey
China’s major platforms are no longer just channels for reach. They are increasingly shaping what gets seen, what gets trusted, and what gets chosen.
Shift 02
Trust is increasingly formed in-platform
Evaluation now happens inside community, creator, search, and native platform environments before users ever reach an owned destination.
Shift 03
Conversion is moving closer to content
Content, commerce, inquiry, booking, and service touchpoints are becoming more connected, reducing the distance between interest and action.
PRODUCT IN PRACTICE
From Chinese decision questions to evidence you can inspect
GEO Workspace keeps the tested question, provider response, returned sources and assessment context connected. Traveller GEO extends that evidence discipline into the wider traveller decision system.
Need evidence beyond AI? Traveller GEO extends the assessment across Chinese social search, travel platforms, maps and owned or partner action paths. Explore China Traveller GEO Concierge.
Broader China visibility, conversion and activation support
GEO is one part of the China decision journey. CTD also helps teams diagnose social visibility, remove conversion friction and build more consistent China execution.
China Social Visibility
Diagnose where brand presence appears, disappears, or underperforms across China’s key discovery touchpoints.
China Conversion Spine
Build the pathways that turn discovery into inquiry, booking, purchase, or next-step action.
China Activation Blueprint
Give teams the tools, workflows, and rollout structure needed to execute more consistently across markets or locations.
How China journeys are shifting
Discovery, trust, and action are increasingly happening inside the platform journey
China user journeys no longer separate media, trust-building, and action into clean stages. China Marketing AI helps teams see where discoverability is weak, where reassurance forms, and where next-step action starts to stall.
- Visibility now depends on more than owned channels.
- Source quality affects how confidently brands are represented.
- Action paths matter alongside discovery.
- Teams need a connected view across platforms.
Experience across hospitality, travel, destinations, retail, mobility, finance, and global brand work.

Which should I use: GEO Workspace or China Traveller GEO?
