Not Instagram, not TikTok: a social search engine

On RED, users actively look for reviews before they buy. A well-built note keeps driving visits months after it goes live, which completely changes the way content is produced.

01 People search here, they don't scroll Users type a query, “Japanese restaurant Paris”, “moisturising cream”, and compare notes. Your content answers a purchase intent, not a need for entertainment.
02 Content stays alive A well-ranked note keeps being discovered months later. Its value doesn't evaporate in 48 hours as it does on traditional feeds.
03 Proof before promise The codes are those of the honest review: real photos, detailed text, comparisons. A disguised ad is immediately rejected by the community.
Our RED service

From opening the account to the first sale

01

Official account & localisation

Opening and verifying the business account, Chinese name, bio, categories and search keywords. We adapt your positioning to local expectations rather than translating your French communication.

02

Note production

Series of photo and video notes shot to RED's codes: real footage, structured text, comparisons, itineraries. Every note is written in Chinese by native writers, never machine-translated.

03

Creator activation

Selection of local KOCs and KOLs relevant to your category, briefing, publication follow-up and usage rights. Third-party recommendation remains the most powerful lever on the platform.

04

Management and analysis

Tracking of impressions, saves, collection rate and inbound queries. Every month we adjust keywords and angles based on what the platform surfaces.

Our strategic approach to winning on Xiaohongshu

We take a structured, data-driven approach to create content that performs and resonates culturally. Every post is designed to be tested, optimised and adapted to local trends to maximise your impact on the Chinese market.

Localisation & Editorial Strategy

We don't translate, we adapt. We analyse local search trends (RED SEO) and define the messaging angles that resonate with the cultural codes of Chinese audiences.

02

“Native” Content Creation

We produce visuals and captions made specifically for RED: vertical formats, “note”-style layouts and a polished aesthetic. Every post is designed to get saved and shared.

03

Community Management & KOC/KOL

We manage your interactions and can activate our network of micro-influencers (KOC) to grow your visibility organically. We analyse the feedback to adjust the strategy in real time.

In short

RED (Xiaohongshu): the key questions

Updated

What is RED, or Xiaohongshu?

A Chinese app that combines social network, shopping guide and search engine. According to Reuters, it has had more than 400 million monthly active users since 2025. Young Chinese people use it to plan their trips and choose their restaurants, which is why it matters so much for French brands that welcome Chinese customers.

Who uses RED?

A mostly female, young and urban audience. According to Fortune, nearly three quarters of users are women, and half were born after 1995. That is the profile that buys beauty, fashion, luxury and travel experiences. At Esekai, notes are written directly in Chinese and videos are shot in France, with no translation step.
