FAQs
Press release services in China are very different from those in the US, Canada and other major Western countries. For example, China’s main search engine is Baidu, also known as “Chinese Google,” rather than Google, Bing and Yahoo, etc.
Another major difference is that contact info is rarely published by the media, as China’s online media have various policies on showing this information on their sites, so we work with our clients to make clear what is possible and to advise how to achieve maximum impact.
No doubt you have many other questions, so please check our FAQ section, and also feel free to contact our support team, who are ready and waiting to provide one-on-one customized services to our clients. Through working closely with us, our customers get the most clear info on the whole process of publishing a press release in China.
