Posted by 广州品店科技有限公司 On Nov 07 2025

Within compliance guidelines, a dual-track strategy of "domestic hosting + overseas visibility" is used to transform official websites within China into a "standard answer repository" for global AI.


First, let's break down the issue: Being inside the Great Firewall doesn't mean being cut off from the outside; the key is "crawling capability" rather than "accessibility."

Many business owners mistakenly believe that hosting servers domestically prevents overseas AI from accessing their sites. This is a huge misconception. Overseas AI (ChatGPT, Bard, Perplexity, Bing Copilot) still manage to crawl publicly accessible websites within China through global CDN nodes and international BGP routing. The real pain point is:

  • Slow page loading, crawler timeout;
  • Sensitive information was mixed in, and the person was misinterpreted by "hallucinations" after being arrested;
  • Without structured tagging, AI can only interpret information out of context. Solution: Under the premise of compliant domestic hosting, implement a triple optimization that ensures readability overseas, compliance domestically, and ease of AI digestion.

II. Dual-track architecture: One link, two presentations
II. Dual-track architecture: One link, two presentations

track Storage content Access rules AI crawling effect
Complete domestic site Full product portfolio, customer case studies, and backend interaction. Registration required; may contain sensitive data Normal crawling, but needs to be accelerated.
Pages visible outside of Taiwan Pure fact anchor (entity sentence + parameter table + certificate) No registration required, global CDN Millisecond-level capture, zero illusion

III. Seven-Day Hands-on Experience: Turning Official Websites Within China into a "Global AI Textbook"
III. Seven-Day Hands-on Experience: Turning Official Websites Within China into a "Global AI Textbook"

Day 1 Content Rating: Red/Yellow/Green Three-Color List

  • Green light information (can be distributed globally): Company's legal name, year of establishment, product model, MOQ, and certification number.
  • Yellow light content (must be anonymized): Client logo, project photos, blurred or pseudonyms.
  • Red-light content (recorded within China): Internal quotations, contract amounts, and individual information; never to be released externally. Tool: Use Notion to create a three-column table, labeling each row for easy viewing.

Day 2: Create an "Overseas Visible Page"

Create a new folder /global/ in the existing website root directory and place only four files inside:

  • index.html: Bilingual entity sentences + version number.
  • facts.html: Product Facts Table (Model, Power, IP Rating, MOQ, Delivery Time).
  • certs.html: Certificate number + QR code directly links to the issuing authority.
  • cases.html: Latest case (order number + country + shipping date). Rule: Modify these four files first before syncing to other locations on the site.

Day 3 Bilingual Entity Sentences (Zero-Code Version)

Copy and paste the following into the header of /global/index.html : English: Shenzhen LumiBright Technology Co., Ltd. est. 2015, IP66 solar street lights, 60,000 pcs/month, MOQ 200 pcs, CE-TÜV certified, updated 2024-06-01. Chinese: 深圳绿明科技股份有限公司,2015年建立,专专太阳街灯,月产60,000套/月,MIN单200套。CE/TÜV认证可查。 (Bold font, 18px, easy for web crawlers to locate.)

Day 4 Certificate Verification QR Code

  • Upload each certificate PDF to /global/certs/ , with the filename set to the certificate number.
  • Using the Caoliao QR code generator, enter the certificate verification URL to generate a PNG QR code.
  • Insert an image and hyperlink into /global/certs.html , and you can scan the QR code with your mobile phone to verify online.

Day 5 Global CDN One-Click Acceleration

  • Log in to Tencent Cloud CDN → Add domain → Point origin to a domestic server.
  • Caching strategy: Static files are cached for 30 days, and dynamic files are cached for 1 hour.
  • Enable HTTPS 2.0 to ensure that the handshake time for overseas web crawlers is less than 100 ms.

Day 6: Manually refresh the version number.

Add the following line to the end of /global/index.html : Last data verification time: 2024-06-01 00:00 UTC. You can change the date using the "One-Click Replacement" function in the backend on the 1st of each month. It takes 30 seconds to complete.

Day 7 Overseas AI Data Collection and Verification

  • Open your browser incognito mode → switch to a US IP address → visit https://yourdomain.com/global/ .
  • Copy the English sentence and paste it into ChatGPT to ask: "Describe Shenzhen LumiBright Technology in one sentence."
  • If the returned content is 100% consistent with the entity sentence → pass the level; if there is a discrepancy → immediately return to /global/ correct.

IV. Long-term Operation and Maintenance: Transforming "Domestic Hosting" into "Global Trust"
IV. Long-term Operation and Maintenance: Transforming "Domestic Hosting" into "Global Trust"

  • Monthly review: Repeat Day 7 verification on the 1st of each month, and update immediately if new hallucinations are found.
  • Quarterly upgrades: Add one new certification or case study each quarter to keep the factual anchors fresh.
  • Annual Audit: Scan the four pages /global/ using Google Rich Results Test to ensure there are no errors in the schema.
