Less Than 5% Of Factories In Changzhou Do This, But This Number Will Double In As Soon As Half A Year.

Less than 5% of factories in Changzhou do this, but this number will double in as soon as half a year.

Boss of Changzhou Precision Casting, are you still using Baidu to find customers?

Near the end of last year, a precision casting factory in Changzhou approached me and claimed that it wanted to develop AI customer acquisition. I asked them to search for "Changzhou precision casting suppliers" in the bean bag, but there were almost no results – almost no colleagues engaged in precision casting in Changzhou had done this. It has been less than a month since he started GEO, and it has already ranked among the top three in the recommendation results. It's not that his content is great , but that no one competes with him.

The window period is reserved for those who move first

At present, in the circle of Changzhou manufacturing factories, the situation of AI search customer acquisition is really worrying, and the proportion that has been carried out is less than 5%. These factory owners either value online customer acquisition channels, or they have tried it through the recommendation of friends; 10% to 15% have heard about the relevant situation but have not taken action. They understand that AI is the entrance to customer acquisition but just wait and see; more than 80% are completely unaware. Most factory owners still use Baidu and Aigou, and have no idea that customers are already searching for suppliers through AI. This situation is a window period, but it will not always be open.

Doubao user growth and your customers are transferring

The number of monthly active users of Doubao and Tongyi Qianwen continues to grow. According to data at the end of 2025, Doubao’s monthly active users have exceeded 200 million. As the number of people using Changzhou Precision Machinery Processing Industry Cluster increased, companies noticed the effect, so the number of follow-ups increased. If the speed is fast, half a year to a year. The speed is slow and it will take two years. The proportion of factories in Changzhou carrying out AI customer acquisition will increase from 5% to 30% or even higher. If you wait until then to enter, if someone else occupies the top three places, you will only be able to squeeze to the seventh or eighth place. Since customers no longer search through Baidu, if you still place ads on Baidu, it is equivalent to throwing money away.

Changzhou precision machining cluster, your peers are already taking action

Changzhou's precision machining industry cluster ranks among the top in the country. There are thousands of precision casting factories in Wujin District alone. Among the factories I have contacted, some people have already begun to use GEO layout. For example, there is a factory in Hutang Town that produces aviation precision parts. If you search for "Changzhou precision machining aviation parts" in Beanbao, it will be ranked in the top five. They didn't spend a lot of money, they just published two industry articles every week. However, the name of the Changzhou Precision Machining Industry Cluster , a factory next door that produces auto parts, has not been included in AI until now.

You can seize the trap in four steps without spending a lot of money

First, use Doubao and Tongyi Qianwen to search for your product keywords and add "Changzhou" to see if the AI ​​will recommend your company. If the search is fruitless, it means that you have not yet entered the AI's field of vision. The second is to organize the company's basic information, which covers the full name, main products, city, equipment list and competitive advantages. These are the foundation for AI to understand you. The third is to cooperate with GEO to talk about industry-related matters, share experience in selection, and answer common questions. Do not write advertisements but output dry information. Once the content is read by AI, the relevant information will be entered into the knowledge base. The fourth is to persist for a certain period of time and maintain the corresponding frequency. After all, AI cannot recognize you in a short time. Only continuous publishing can keep the recommendation results stable.

The trend will never turn back. Don’t wait until you are forced to enter the market.

AI search customer acquisition is not the so-called trend that will pass in a while. The trend means that it will pass in a while, but this is a trend, and the trend will definitely not turn back. The number of customers using AI to find suppliers will only become more and more, and it will not decrease at all. If you don’t do it now, and your peers have taken up the position, you will just go in to grab some leftovers. Factory owners in Changzhou, do you think we should not do AI customer acquisition? It can still last for a few years. Chat in the comment area, like it and share it so that more peers can see it.
