If you haven't heard of Baidu before, then now is a good time to look into it. Baidu is China's leading search engine with a staggering local market share of 66.25% (March 2019). It is also the second largest search operator in the world after Google, and the latter only has a local market share of 2.91%.

First, you'll need to head over to Baidu Webmaster Tools and log into your account (or sign up if you haven't got one yet). Keep in mind that you'll need a Chinese phone number to create an account.
Now that you're logged into Baidu, please follow these steps:
- Enter your domain name and indicate whether your website is using HTTP or HTTPS. Then, click the “Next” (下一步) button
- Select the industry your business or blog belongs to
- Copy the HTML verification code that is displayed under the HTML tag (HTML 标签验证) option
