Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about China Marketing AI, our solutions, pricing, and how we help brands succeed in China's digital ecosystem.

General

What is China Marketing AI?

China Marketing AI is CTD’s China intelligence and GEO product environment for understanding how brands, destinations and organisations are discovered, evaluated and acted on across China-facing digital journeys. It combines self-service GEO tools, specialist China traveller diagnostics and broader visibility, conversion and activation services.

What is GEO Workspace?

GEO Workspace is the self-service China Audience GEO platform from ChinaMarketing.AI. It lets teams run structured Simplified-Chinese questions across configured Chinese AI engines, preserve the evidence behind each response and turn the results into repeatable assessments and reports.

What is China Traveller GEO Concierge?

China Traveller GEO Concierge is CTD’s managed specialist service for understanding how Mainland Chinese outbound travellers encounter an organisation across AI, Chinese social search, travel platforms, maps and owned or partner action paths. It extends beyond AI visibility into competitor substitution, source gaps, factual risk and traveller-action readiness.

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

Use GEO Workspace when you want repeatable self-service testing across Chinese AI engines. Use China Traveller GEO when the commercial question is specifically about Chinese travellers and requires broader evidence across AI, social search, travel platforms, maps and conversion paths with analyst review.

Does GEO Workspace guarantee AI rankings or recommendations?

No. GEO Workspace measures observed answers under defined questions, engines and execution conditions. It does not control external AI systems, guarantee recommendations or prove sales attribution.

What is the Free AI Visibility Snapshot?

The Free AI Visibility Snapshot is a directional China Traveller GEO entry point. It provides an initial view of blind discovery and branded readiness before a deeper managed Traveller GEO audit is considered.

Does ChinaMarketing.AI only cover AI?

No. GEO Workspace focuses on structured Chinese AI assessment and research, while China Traveller GEO can extend into Chinese social search, travel platforms, maps and owned or partner action paths. CTD also provides broader China social visibility, conversion and activation support.

How is it related to China Trading Desk?

China Marketing AI is built by China Trading Desk and draws on CTD’s China platform knowledge, research, traveller intelligence and delivery experience.

About the Product

What is China Marketing AI?

China Marketing AI is CTD's intelligence product for understanding where visibility breaks down, where conversion friction appears, and what teams should prioritise next across China's digital journey.

How is China Marketing AI related to China Trading Desk?

It is built by China Trading Desk and shaped by CTD's research, China platform expertise, and execution experience.

What makes China Marketing AI different from a dashboard?

Dashboards show what happened. China Marketing AI is designed to diagnose where problems sit, clarify what matters, and give teams outputs they can actually use.

How does it connect to the current solutions?

The current solutions translate the product into practical modules focused on visibility, conversion, and activation, giving teams clear entry points depending on where the immediate problem sits.

Pricing

Who is this pricing designed for?

The pricing is designed for brand, strategy, regional marketing, and leadership teams that need clearer visibility into how they show up across China’s discovery ecosystem and what to prioritise next.

When is the $499 Automated Diagnostic the right choice?

It is the right starting point when you need a fast, structured diagnostic with practical recommendations, but you do not yet need live market evidence, owned-channel review, or bespoke strategic interpretation.

Why does the Market Intelligence tier cost more?

Because it adds current market evidence, live conversation signals, and stronger local-language interpretation, which makes the output more defensible than a purely automated diagnostic built only from structured inputs.

How is the Owned Channel + Market Intelligence tier different?

It adds analysis of your official China-facing channels, including account presence, content and service readiness, discoverability support, and whether your owned infrastructure helps or weakens conversion once demand appears.

What makes the bespoke tier advisory rather than just a larger report?

The bespoke tier is built around your business questions, market priorities, and stakeholder needs. It adds tailored framing, deeper synthesis, executive-ready recommendations, and optional workshop or readout support.
