About this service
Empower Your In-House Team with Expert Xiaohongshu Guidance
If you already have an internal team running Xiaohongshu, our strategist plugs in exactly where you need help. With 150+ teams served, 6 years of Xiaohongshu experience, an average 3.2x growth uplift after consulting, and a 48-hour response SLA, we turn guesswork into scalable growth.
Why Internal Xiaohongshu Teams Need a Specialist Strategist
Your marketing team is strong — but Xiaohongshu is a fundamentally different platform. Without a RED specialist, even good teams hit a ceiling: 87% plateau within 6 months, a senior full-time Xiaohongshu strategist costs 4-6x more, and the platform updates its algorithm roughly 12 times a year.
Service Components
- Xiaohongshu Strategy Audit & Roadmap: A full audit of account health, content performance, keyword rankings, competitor positioning and audience analysis, producing a prioritised 90-day roadmap.
- Monthly Strategy Sessions: Structured calls reviewing performance, sharing algorithm and policy updates, and planning next-month content with written action plans and keyword recommendations.
- Content Review & Optimisation: Pre-publish review of note drafts for algorithm readiness, keyword placement, hashtags, cover effectiveness, save-trigger layout and Chinese copy quality.
- Competitive Intelligence & Benchmarking: Monitoring 3-5 competitors with quarterly benchmark reports covering posting frequency, formats, engagement, keyword strategy, KOL cooperation and estimated ad spend.
- KOL/KOC Campaign Advisory: Guidance on creator selection, campaign structure, budget allocation, brief best practices and performance measurement.
- Slack/WeChat On-Demand Advisory: Real-time access to your dedicated strategist with 48-hour SLA (24-hour for higher tiers).

FAQ
What is the difference between advisory and account management services?
Account management means we handle execution — content creation, publishing, community management and ads. Advisory means we guide your team through strategy, audits, content reviews and consulting recommendations. Advisory is best for brands with an internal execution team that needs Xiaohongshu intelligence to steer direction. If you lack an execution team, our account management service is more suitable.
How much time does our team need to invest?
Very little. The Advisory tier needs 1 hour per month for the strategy meeting plus time to review written recommendations. The Strategy tier needs about 3-4 hours per month. The Premium tier needs about 5-6 hours. The rest of the value is delivered asynchronously — keyword reports, content reviews and competitive intelligence — which your team can digest at its own pace.
Do we need an existing Xiaohongshu account to start consulting?
No. Many clients consult us before entering Xiaohongshu to get strategy right from day one — account setup, category selection, content pillars and keyword strategy. Starting with consulting actually saves budget because your team can avoid the 3-6 month trial period most brands experience.
Can the team ask questions outside strategy meetings?
Yes. All tiers include Slack or WeChat access to your dedicated strategist. Response times vary by tier: Advisory 48-hour SLA, Strategy 24-hour SLA, Premium same-day. We prioritise urgent matters such as trending topics or potential compliance issues.
What deliverables will we receive each month?
Depending on your tier, monthly deliverables include: (1) strategy meeting recording and written action plan, (2) per-note content review feedback, (3) Chinese keyword research report with search volume, (4) algorithm update briefing with action steps, (5) competitive intelligence report (quarterly or monthly), (6) KOL recommendation list when running campaigns, and (7) performance analysis with benchmark comparisons. Everything is documented and shareable.
Do you offer one-time strategy projects instead of ongoing advisory?
Yes. We offer standalone projects including Xiaohongshu market entry strategy, account audit (50-point assessment with recommendations), KOL campaign planning, and team training workshops. These are fixed-scope priced. However, most clients find monthly advisory more cost-effective because Xiaohongshu requires continuous optimisation.
Can you train our team to operate Xiaohongshu independently?
That is our goal. Our advisory service is designed to build your internal team's capability over time. Many clients downgrade from Strategy to Advisory or switch to quarterly check-ins as maturity improves. We also offer a dedicated Xiaohongshu marketing certification course.
Do you provide white-label advisory for agencies?
Yes. Our Premium tier includes white-labeling — audit reports, strategy proposals, competitor analysis and client-facing documents can be delivered under your agency brand. We act as your invisible Xiaohongshu strategy layer.
