What is a Baidu proxy?
A local searcher in every Chinese city you track
A Baidu proxy is an IP address inside China that your rank trackers, browsers and data tools connect through, so Baidu sees a local searcher in the province and city you picked. ProxyEmpire’s China network covers 30 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions and 191 cities and districts, with home broadband IPs on China Telecom, China Unicom and China Mobile plus two regional cable networks, and mobile IPs on all three national carriers.
Baidu results are local. The rankings, local listings and ads a searcher in Shanghai sees can differ from those in Chengdu or Guangzhou, and searches from outside China often see a different picture again. Checking from an office abroad or a foreign server tells you little about how Chinese users find you. Residential and mobile IPs in each city show the real results.
Baidu also limits heavy automated traffic. Rank tracking and data collection at scale need many IPs from real Chinese consumer networks, spread across cities and time.

How to track Baidu with proxies
Five habits for accurate results
Target the city. Set the province and city your customers search from, and track key cities separately rather than using one China-wide IP.
Rotate for rank tracking. Use a new IP per request for large keyword sets and spread checks over time, at request rates the site can handle.
Check mobile separately. Mobile and desktop results and ads can differ. Use mobile IPs and a mobile browser to track mobile rankings.
Use sticky sessions for accounts. Keep one IP for each account session, from login to logout, so the account sees a consistent location.
Keep sessions clean. Cookies and history change results. Start each tracking run with a fresh session so results are comparable.
