If you manage more than one Baidu PPC account — whether for yourself or for clients — you have probably wished for a way to see them all in one place, run reports across accounts, and handle top-ups without logging in and out a dozen times. Baidu offers exactly that: the MCC (My Client Center) account.
It works like Google's MCC, but the registration process, account types, and limitations are different. Here is everything you need to know.
What Is Baidu MCC?
MCC stands for My Client Center. It is a centralized dashboard that lets you manage multiple Baidu PPC accounts from a single login. Instead of switching between accounts to run reports, adjust bids, or check budgets, you do everything from one place.
Key Features
An MCC account gives you three main capabilities that individual PPC accounts do not:
- Multi-account management — view all accounts in one dashboard, with category sorting, filtering, and secondary filtering.
- Multi-report management — download reports from different accounts at the same time. No more logging in to each account individually to pull data.
- Automated top-up management — set up auto top-up rules across accounts so you never run out of budget mid-campaign.
Account Types: Choose the Right One
Before registering, you need to decide what kind of MCC account you need. There are three account types, and you cannot change the type after registration:
| Type | Who It Is For | Manage Own Accounts | Manage Other Accounts |
|---|---|---|---|
| Regular User | Single brand with multiple own accounts | Yes | No |
| KA Account | Key accounts with 2+ own accounts | Yes | Yes |
| Agency | Digital agencies managing client accounts | No | Yes |
Registration Process
The registration process has three stages:
Step 1: Determine your account type — Use the table above to decide. If you only manage your own accounts (your own brand's multiple PPC accounts), choose Regular User. If you manage client accounts as an agency, choose Agency or KA depending on your account structure.
Step 2: Fill in registration information — Go to Baidu's MCC registration page and submit your details. You will need a V-verified Baidu PPC account to proceed — unverified accounts cannot register for MCC.
Step 3: Business registration submission — If you only manage your own accounts, no additional documents are needed. If you manage accounts that belong to other companies (agencies and KA accounts), you must submit your business registration and wait for Baidu's censorship review.
Adding Accounts to Your MCC
Once your MCC is registered, you can start adding PPC accounts:
- Adding your own accounts — You only need the account username. No additional verification required.
- Adding accounts that belong to others — You need both the account username and the exact company name registered with Baidu. The name must match Baidu's records exactly.
After the invitation is sent, the account owner must log in and accept the invitation. Only then does the account appear in your MCC dashboard.
Common Registration Issues
Based on real client cases, here are the most frequent problems advertisers run into with MCC:
Q: Why cannot my MCC add new accounts?
A: An MCC can manage a maximum of 500 accounts. If you have hit this limit, you need to remove inactive accounts or create a second MCC.
Q: How do I change my MCC registration email?
A: This cannot be done through the self-service portal. You need to contact your Baidu customer service representative and request the change from Baidu headquarters.
Q: Why can I not view today's data?
A: MCC accounts currently do not support real-time same-day data. Only individual PPC accounts can view today's data directly. MCC data typically has a one-day delay.
Q: Why cannot I register Baidu MCC at all?
A: Only V-verified PPC accounts are eligible for MCC registration. If your account has not completed V-verification, you must complete that step first.
