SEO Case Study Microsoft China
It’s easy to rank for your brand keywords, isn’t it?
No. At least not for Microsoft China.
In 2012, Microsoft planned to launch Office 2013. The problem is their official website failed to achieve good rankings for their brand keywords, such as Office, Word and Excel, on the leading Chinese search engine Baidu.
There were many websites offering free downloads of pirated versions of the Office suite. What’s worse, these websites were outranking the official website of Microsoft China for its brand keywords on Baidu.
Microsoft China contacted SEO Shifu. We quickly did a thorough analysis on the situation and took actions accordingly. We conducted a full site technical review for their Chinese site, reorganized the internal link structure and optimized the key SEO performance landing pages for their products.
We also worked with their editor team, offering suggestions to make the content have more SEO value and distributing the content for link development.
Results
- First page rankings for 60% of the target brand keywords on Baidu
- Baidu indexation improved by 34%
- Organic traffic from Baidu increased by 25% in 6 months

Sonia Saund, Project Coordinator, Fourth Dimension Inc.
“I must say that working with Chinese SEO Shifu was a great experience overall. Shifu made sure that every request I had was completed on time and within budget, and they provided status updates on the project as it went on. I was very impressed with the level of communication that SEO Shifu offered, especially since we were collaborating from opposite ends of the world. Ryan was very professional, understanding and diligent when it came to the work contracted. I would definitely recommend SEO Shifu to anyone looking for Search Engine Optimization and/or translation services.”
Lewis Youngson, Managing Director, Visit Football
“Ryan and his team at SEO Shifu have been instrumental in helping my business grow in China. As a UK based travel company we have been able to communicate easily and quickly with Ryan, despite the time difference with China, regarding translation and SEO projects. Our business has been praised by many for its great translation and since starting our SEO 3 months ago we have risen to the top 3 in Baidu organic search terms. Ryan is someone I have complete faith and trust in and I can highly recommend him to any business big or small that wants to target China.”
Phi Vo, Online Marketing Director at StudyMode, Inc.:
“We are an international company with many sites in different languages, and it was difficult to find anyone with as much expertise as Ryan. Specifically, we needed to grow Baidu traffic quickly. Ryan helped us to chart a short and long term strategy for SEO that would work well in the Chinese market, and thus far we have seen great results. I would definitely recommend his expertise for websites or businesses looking for someone on the ground who knows how SEO and great sites should work in China. We’ve seen a tremendous growth in traffic and look forward to a long-term relationship with this company.”
Helen Zhao, Director of Marketing, UL Prospector

Joelin Liu, Marketing Director, Microsoft
“I hold Ryan in very high personal and professional regard – his ability to jump in, figure it out, and accomplish the goal in a timely basis is unparalleled. I had the pleasure of working with Ryan for about 12 months on an SEO project for Microsoft China and Ryan and his team members really impressed me with their understanding of search engines and knowledge on search marketing.”

Paul Coffey, Kung Fu English
“Ryan’s team at Chinese SEO Shifu is our definition of an ideal partner. They are willing to spend time clearly explaining their suggested methods. They can be flexible on project terms if circumstances change. They are proactive in their communication and always looking to protect their clients’ interest. Just about any SEO “expert” can claim to know everything, and then deliver very little. Ryan and his team will outline what is reasonable to expect .. and then deliver even more.”
