Submit Your Site to Baidu for Indexing

This guide explains how to use Baidu Search Resource Platform to proactively submit a Creght website and its pages, helping Baidu discover and crawl the content sooner.

Important: proactive submission only provides page URLs to Baidu. It does not guarantee indexing or directly improve search rankings. Whether a page is indexed still depends on accessibility, content quality, site structure, and Baidu's search rules.

After verifying the site, you can use “Regular Submission” to submit important pages. Sitemap and API submission are additional options, depending on your Baidu account permissions and needs.

1. Prepare Before You Start

Before submitting, confirm the following:

  • The website is published in Creght and opens normally in a browser.

  • A custom domain is connected. Do not submit the editor preview URL.

  • You are using the final HTTPS address, and understand the difference between the www and non-www versions. For example, https://example.com and https://www.example.com are different addresses.

  • Important pages are publicly accessible without login restrictions, redirect errors, or server errors.

Published Creght websites are normally crawlable by search engines and do not require additional settings.

2. Sign in to Baidu Search Resource Platform and Add Your Site

  1. Open Baidu Search Resource Platform and sign in to your Baidu account.

  2. Open “User Center” or “Site Management”, then click “Add Site”.

  1. Select the site type as prompted, then complete site verification.

After the site is added, finish ownership verification. Only after verification can you use tools such as Regular Submission.

3. Verify Your Site

After adding the site, complete verification. Baidu provides file verification and HTML tag verification; choose either one.

Creght supports different verification workflows for AI websites and visual websites. Follow the instructions for your site type.

After verification succeeds, do not delete the verification file or HTML tag.

4. Submit Pages

Baidu provides Regular Submission, Sitemap, and API submission. These methods can be used independently; you do not need to configure all three.

Option 1: Submit an Individual Page with Regular Submission

Regular Submission is suitable for important pages such as the homepage, article pages, product pages, and case studies.

  1. Open Baidu Regular Submission and select the verified site.

  2. Paste the page URL into the input field. This is the complete URL shown in the browser address bar when the page is open.

  3. Click Submit and wait for the result.

A successful submission means Baidu received the link; it does not mean the page has already been indexed. Do not repeatedly submit the same URL, and do not submit unpublished, empty, or inaccessible pages.

Option 2: Submit a Sitemap (Optional)

A Sitemap lists the pages on your website and is useful when the site has many pages. Baidu may restrict this feature by site or account, so some accounts may not show the entry.

If the feature is available, submit a Sitemap URL such as https://your-domain.com/sitemap.xml. If there is no entry, you lack permission, or submission fails, skip it and use Regular Submission instead.

Option 3: API Push (Advanced, Optional)

API submission is suitable for developers or websites connected to a CMS publishing workflow. This guide does not cover the configuration; you can skip it if you do not have an automated publishing workflow.

5. Check Whether a Page Has Been Indexed

After submission, use Baidu Search to check whether the page has appeared.

Option 1: Search Directly

Enter the following in Baidu Search:

site:your-domain.com

For example:

site:example.com

If the site has been indexed, pages under the domain will appear in the results. Search results are not updated instantly, so not seeing a page immediately does not mean the submission failed.

6. What to Do If the Page Is Not Indexed

It is normal not to see a page immediately after submission. Check the following items in order:

  1. Confirm the address is correct: Check http/https, www/non-www, and the page path.

  2. Confirm the page is publicly accessible: Open it in a private browser window; it should not require login or special permissions.

  3. Confirm indexing is not blocked: The page should not use noindex, and robots.txt should not block Baidu from crawling important pages.

  4. Confirm the page opens normally: Avoid 404 errors, server errors, repeated redirects, or redirects to the wrong domain.

  5. Confirm the content is complete: The page should have a clear title, complete content, and a clear topic. Avoid blank pages and large amounts of duplicate content.

  6. Wait patiently: Successful submission only starts Baidu's processing workflow. New sites and pages may need time to be discovered, crawled, and evaluated.

What if Sitemap submission fails?

Sitemap access may be restricted by the site or account. If there is no entry, you lack permission, or submission fails, skip it; Regular Submission can still be used for important pages.

Are previously submitted URLs still valid after changing domains?

After changing domains, add and verify the new domain in Baidu Search Resource Platform, then submit the pages under the new domain again.

Will proactive submission improve search rankings?

It will not directly improve rankings. Proactive submission helps Baidu discover and crawl pages sooner; indexing and final rankings still depend on page content, site quality, and Baidu's search rules.
