Are you having trouble with Weibo verification lately? Getting your Weibo profile verified is a challenging process especially for businesses outside China as it requires a third-party agency to do so. IH Digital is Sina Weibo’s appointed digital agency in Southeast Asia whose aim is to provide Sina Weibo advertising solutions and Weibo account verification services to businesses outside China. We are currently the only official advertising agency in the region that can help you reach out to the Chinese audience through Weibo marketing. But first, let’s tackle why Weibo marketing matters for your China digital campaigns.

Why Weibo Marketing Matters

With over 400 million monthly active users, Sina Weibo has emerged as one of the biggest and most popular Chinese social media platforms. It is China’s version of Twitter, except it offers more than microblogging and social networking. If you are looking into effectively tapping the Chinese market, it is highly recommended that you start with Weibo marketing.

Why Your Business Needs Weibo Verification

Weibo verification is the process of attaining an official account status, similar to Twitter’s “Verified” status for businesses and celebrities. Verified business accounts are awarded a Blue V badge on Sina Weibo. In Weibo marketing, this is the first and most important step to earn your audience’s trust.

Having your Weibo account verified allows you to enjoy its benefits, such as planning and buying in-feed ads through the Weibo’s DSP system. You will also gain access to the wall contest management tool and Weibo e-vouchers. However, Weibo has a very strict set of examination procedures for its verification process. For instance, Weibo requires businesses to submit all the supporting documents in Chinese. This may pose as a huge difficulty for brands outside of China.

Benefits of Having a Verified Weibo Account

1. Increase brand awareness and exposure in the Chinese market
2. Grow inquiries and sales, both online and offline
3. Improve customer service and social engagement
4. Drive more traffic to your official website
