China GEO pricing should be compared against the same service scope. Two quotations offering “Doubao and DeepSeek optimisation” may differ substantially in target questions, brand information preparation, content approval, publication channels and monitoring. Article volume is only one component of value.
Before requesting quotations, Hong Kong businesses should identify the mainland customers they want to reach, the services they want to promote and their existing public information. This makes it easier to distinguish work addressing business needs from a list of delivery quantities.
Break each quotation into five parts
Brand coverage and search questions
One brand, one shop and branches across several locations require different information work. Core keywords should connect to specific questions. “Hong Kong craft experiences”, for example, can involve age limits, duration, language, transport and bookings. Ask how the package defines core keywords, related questions and product coverage. Five keywords do not necessarily mean testing only five sentences.
Information preparation and content production
Beyond articles, does the service include brand introductions, service processes, product features, FAQs and information consistency? Who supplies photographs and specifications, confirms accuracy and handles revisions? When information is scattered, this work may matter more than simply increasing article output.
Publication and channels
Clarify whether publication means your own website, suitable third-party channels or press release distribution. Platform publication, backlinks, mainstream media coverage and on-site filming are different services. Named media placements or additional videos should be explicitly included in the quotation.
Monitoring and follow-up
What will the report establish: whether the brand is mentioned, whether descriptions are accurate, which sources are cited and whether it appears in relevant recommendations? Clarify question selection, review frequency and how errors will be handled. Saving screenshots alone differs from using findings to improve subsequent content.
Service term and additional costs
Confirm the service period, payment milestones, content approval responsibilities and termination arrangements. Website development, named media, extra filming or administrative services should be itemised separately where needed. Do not deduct an unapproved subsidy and treat the balance as a confirmed cost.
Understanding One Marketing’s annual China GEO plans
One Marketing Solutions offers China GEO as a 12-month annual service. The following plan information is dated 23 October 2026. The individual quotation governs final scope, offer eligibility and payment arrangements:
- 5 core keywords: HK$128,000 per year.
- 10 core keywords: standard annual price HK$256,000; current 30% discount offer HK$179,200 per year.
These prices cover China GEO, not Hong Kong GEO or a combined Hong Kong and China package. China GEO is not purchased monthly, and the annual fee is not prorated into a six-month package. The first six months form a work and review phase within the annual service. Instalment arrangements do not change the annual service term.
We first organise brand information, target audiences and search scenarios, then build content and monitor results. The Hong Kong team works directly with the business, supported by execution in mainland China, reducing repeated explanations of positioning to different teams. Content, channel and monitoring deliverables are specified in the service appendix. More core keywords do not automatically mean every other quantity doubles.
A quotation comparison checklist
Request the same information from every supplier: target audience, platforms, definition of core keywords, content scope, channels, approval responsibilities, sample reports, service term and extra fees. Then ask which proposal explains why each activity matters to your customers.
For an experience shop, customers may care most about Mandarin assistance, same-day bookings and how long their finished work takes. Clarifying these three points may be more useful than producing large volumes of generic travel content. This is a prioritisation decision, not a promise of return.

Frequently asked questions
Is a cheaper China GEO service always better?
First check whether the scope is comparable. A low price may cover only one content task, while a higher price does not automatically deliver better results. Compare verifiable deliverables and responsibilities, rather than total price alone.
Does the fee include guaranteed AI recommendations?
Platform recommendations should not be treated as guaranteed deliverables. Content and monitoring can be agreed, while AI answers and completed sales must be observed.
What should I provide for a relevant quotation?
Provide your brand, products or services, shop locations or service area, target customers and existing public information. We can then discuss China GEO scope and pricing (Chinese), explaining Hong Kong and China services separately.
