Baidu's Brand Baikan — AI-Native Brand Ads Explained

Most international advertisers on Baidu focus on search ads — bidding on keywords, optimizing CPC, and tracking conversion rates. But Baidu has been quietly building something else: an AI-native brand advertising product called Brand Baikan (品牌百看).

📱 What Is Brand Baikan?

Brand Baikan is an immersive, full-page brand experience that replaces traditional banner or text-based brand ads.

ZoneFunction
High-Efficiency ZoneAuthoritative brand content — official info, specs, product details
Extended Discovery ZoneKOL reviews, testimonials, AI agent conversations

🎯 Three Core Principles

  • Native integration: The ad occupies the full search results page, matching Baidu's organic visual language
  • Personalization at scale: AI adapts content per user — someone searching "electric SUV range" sees different content than "SUV safety features"
  • Interactive engagement: Users talk directly with the brand's AI agent — ask specs, compare models, request test drives

⚙️ How It Works

Connect a brand agent → Provide brand assets → Select a format → Launch. No additional creative team needed — the agent generates all content from existing assets.

🏎️ First Case: Dongfeng Honda

The campaign delivered official model info, KOL reviews, owner testimonials, and AI agent conversations — all in a single immersive page. Full funnel: awareness → engagement → conversion.

🎯 Brand Baikan Fit Assessment

  • Good fit: B2C brands in automotive, luxury, electronics, beauty, travel with Chinese-language content
  • Partial fit: B2B brands with detailed product catalogs
  • Wait: Brands with minimal Chinese-language content
