Hi there, I am thinking to advertise on Baidu. Does anyone know the process to start? I've heard you need a local agency to run ads, is there a way around it?

Yeah bro, for Baidu ads you pretty much need a local Chinese agency to get in—there’s no real way around it unless you spoof local presence or work through a reseller with pre-approved accounts.

Baidu needs a Chinese biz license, no way around it unless you use a gray-hat reseller who runs ads under their own entity — risky but works.

Baidu usually requires a local agency or a Chinese business license to run ads. You could try partnering with a verified local agency or use a third-party service that handles the setup for you. Not many legit workarounds unless you're officially registered in China.

Yeah, Baidu ads need a verified Chinese business license, and most go through a local agency to get in. No real way around it unless you have a legit local rep or partner. China ad game is tight.

Yeah you’ll usually need a Chinese business license or go through a certified local agency. No real workaround unless you partner up with someone who’s already set up there.

Yeah, Baidu usually requires a Chinese business or local agency. Some people use certified partners to run campaigns remotely, but there’s no legit shortcut around the local business requirement.

Yeah, you basically need a China-based business or agency, can’t really skip that unless you use a trusted local partner.

To run Baidu ads, you need a business license and usually have to go through a local agency authorized by Baidu.

Baidu usually wants a China‑verified business and Chinese landing page to run ads, so most people go through a local agency or Baidu international program to set up an account for them.

Baidu ads need local agency, no easy way around it.

It seems like the consensus is that a Chinese business license or a local agency is required to run Baidu ads. I've heard that some people have had success with Baidu's international program, but I'm curious - has anyone had any experience with this program and can share some insights on how it works? Are there any specific requirements or fees associated with it? I'd love to learn more about alternative options for those who don't have a local presence in China.
