## What is a China GEO agency

A China GEO (generative engine optimization) agency helps brands get cited and recommended inside Mainland-Chinese AI answer engines — DeepSeek, Qwen, Doubao — when consumers and decision-makers ask category-relevant questions in Chinese. Distinct from Baidu SEO (which targets blue-link rankings) and from generic Western AI visibility (ChatGPT/Google AI Overview).

Eastbound is positioned at one specific intersection: **Hong Kong-based, China-AI-specialised, US/UK/Western-buyer-focused**. Not a full-service China digital agency, not a Baidu SEO shop, not a generic AI-visibility tool.

## Differentiation

- **Evidence-led.** Every recommendation labelled measured evidence / prior-knowledge hypothesis / planned intervention test.
- **China-specific.** Prompt panels run in Mainland Chinese against DeepSeek, Qwen on DashScope international, Doubao on BytePlus ModelArk international.
- **Source-substrate focused.** The biggest leverage is off-site — Baidu Baike, Zhihu, Xiaohongshu, SMZDM, Bilibili, Mainland vertical media. On-site has a hard ceiling without source graph.
- **Conservative in claims.** No "rank in DeepSeek in 7 days" promises. Trade marketing edge for credibility moat.

## Services

- **Free audit (no login).** Browser-rendered, three-layer report (selection / absorption / mention).
- **Paid audit (multi-engine, deep).** Custom prompt panel, source-graph mapping, competitor benchmarking, prioritised top-fix list.
- **GEO Sprint (12 weeks).** Technical hygiene → content design → source-graph initiation. Regional partners for Mainland publishing where local accounts required.
- **Ongoing monitoring.** Quarterly re-audits with delta tracking + prompt-panel refresh + reliability discipline (top-5/top-15 κ, Pearson r, ICC reported in every readout).

## Who we work with

- **US/UK luxury, fashion, beauty, premium consumer brands** evaluating Mainland China expansion. We disclose tier-specific source-mix shifts (e.g., SMZDM 100% at aspirational tier → 33% at ultra-luxury; replacement stack: The Purse Forum, Vogue Business, WWD, Sotheby's/Christie's, Baghunter).
- **Travel, hospitality, destination marketing** tracking inbound Mainland-CN demand. Multi-turn prompt panels.
- **B2B SaaS / developer tools** with China or APAC GTM. Consumer-facing vs developer-facing prompt pools separated.

Offices in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong. Engagement remote-first.

## How to engage

Free audit first. After report review, 30-min consultation to scope GEO Sprint or extended audit. No vague-deliverables retainers — every engagement has scoped work, measurement dates, before/after intervention tests.

Pricing engagement-scoped (varies with category complexity, source-graph depth, Mainland publishing scope). Indicative ranges on consultation call.

## What we do NOT do

- No paid Baidu SEM.
- No SEO content for word count's sake.
- No specific ranking-position promises.
- No "lift in 7 days" claims — the highest-leverage layer compounds over quarters.
