With generative AI rapidly reshaping global consumer decision-making pathways, a pivotal shift is underway: as consumers increasingly use AI conversational tools to 'ask' their way to purchase decisions, a brand's ability to be prioritized—seen, trusted, and recommended by AI—has become an invisible barrier in the competition for global markets.
Weimob Inc (HKEX: 02013) has officially launched its "Weimob Xingqi GEO Global Edition Solution," providing a systematic, full-funnel service to help brands build influence within the global AI ecosystem. Following the domestic release of Xingqi GEO in January 2026, this marks a key strategic move by Weimob into international markets. It signifies the company's push, driven by its dual engines of "AI First" and "Weimob Global Expansion," to use GEO as a lever to help brands establish a differentiated edge in the new AI-driven global consumer decision-making landscape.
Redefining GEO for Global Markets
A common challenge many businesses face is that while traffic to their independent websites remains steady, genuine inquiries driven by global AI search are declining. The root cause lies in traditional GEO optimization, which often remains stuck in a shallow logic of "keyword expansion → batch content generation → observing citations." This approach fails to explain why brands are consistently absent from certain real-user queries. Industry analysis suggests AI models follow a strict semantic chain of trust when recommending brands. Without systematic GEO structuring, a brand can be virtually invisible at the AI question-and-answer gateway.
The core innovation of Weimob's Xingqi GEO Global Edition is that it does not start with keywords, but begins with "people + scenarios," systematically addressing three questions: Who is asking? Under what circumstances are they asking? And what will the AI ultimately answer? The system first defines potential customer segments and decision-making roles, deeply reconstructing users' trigger events, goals, and anxieties. Based on this, it generates a structured "Question Universe"—encompassing industry question clusters with multi-level categorization. Keywords are no longer the starting point but become organizational tools for translating the "Question Universe" into content titles, channel distribution, and monitoring expressions. This design addresses the structural blind spot of traditional optimization, which "knows the words but not the people," ensuring brands start from real user query scenarios rather than piling up content devoid of context.
Specifically, Weimob Xingqi GEO Global Edition constructs a fully traceable closed loop from the Question Universe to content assets. The system collects real-time visibility records and evidence snapshots from major global AI platforms, automatically performing gap diagnostics—including root cause identification and priority rating. Every optimization conclusion can be traced back to specific query items and the original AI responses, allowing brand operations teams to clearly determine "in which user questions the brand is absent, why it is absent, and which gap to prioritize for resolution." The system then generates optimization tasks and content plans, transforming diagnostic conclusions into actionable content assets. Notably, the system does not automatically publish content to channels. Instead, it provides content export and publishing tracking functions, allowing enterprises to control content distribution while clearly tracking core metrics like brand content citation rates and source penetration rates. Starting from real user queries, through diagnosis, content generation, and re-test verification, Weimob Xingqi GEO Global Edition helps brands systematically build influence within the AI-driven global consumer decision-making funnel.
Currently, the Weimob Xingqi GEO Global Edition Solution serves multiple industries including consumer goods, digital appliances, business services, and software applications. Weimob stated that, moving forward, it will rely on AI-empowered products like Xingqi GEO Global Edition to continuously provide global brands with full-funnel services, from AI ecosystem visibility optimization to localized operations.
Accelerating the AI-First Strategy
The launch of Weimob Xingqi GEO Global Edition is not merely a product iteration but a significant marker of Weimob's transition from strategic deployment to tangible results for its dual engines of "AI First" and "Weimob Global Expansion."
Financial results for 2025 show that Weimob Inc achieved total revenue of RMB 1.592 billion, a year-on-year increase of 18.9%. Gross profit reached RMB 1.195 billion, surging 100.4% year-on-year, with the gross margin rising to 75.1%. Adjusted net profit was RMB 42.4 million, marking the company's first annual profit since 2021. Operating cash flow also turned positive for the first time on an annual basis. A standout highlight in these results was the first-time separate disclosure of AI-related annual revenue, which reached RMB 116 million for the full year, accounting for 7.3% of total revenue, with a sequential growth rate in the second half as high as 137.5%.
Behind this financial performance lies the systematic implementation of Weimob's strategy. In terms of AI deployment, Weimob has fully integrated AI into its core business foundations, covering key directions such as AI+SaaS, AI+Marketing, AI+Global Expansion, and AI To C. In the AI+Marketing domain, the Weimob Xingqi GEO solution is a key component, helping leading brands enhance their visibility and trustworthiness within the AI ecosystem. Current AI-related revenue is still in an early growth stage, and with the launch and optimization of new products like Xingqi GEO Global Edition, it is expected to maintain rapid growth.
Regarding "Weimob Global Expansion," the company formally established an independent business unit for this purpose at the end of 2025. Weimob executives also clearly stated during the earnings call that they would increase investment in "Weimob Global Expansion," building differentiated competitive advantages through "AI + Global Expansion." Plans include using AI technology to enhance client efficiency in areas like marketing content generation, SEO optimization, and automated execution of overseas marketing strategies, thereby reducing localization costs.
While driving business development, Weimob is also actively participating in the co-creation of industry standards. In March 2026, the China Advertising Association initiated the development of three group standards: "Service Specification for Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)," "Requirements for GEO Effect Monitoring and Verification," and "Specification for Grading and Crediting of Trusted Content Sources for GEO." In June, Weimob, as a leading industry service provider, was deeply involved in the discussion and formulation of these standards. The standards will establish a clear, executable, and collaborative framework for the industry, covering dimensions such as technical capabilities, service processes, effectiveness evaluation, business ethics, and compliance management for GEO services. Furthermore, leveraging its exclusive proprietary technology barriers, Weimob Xingqi GEO has secured core software copyrights and has accumulated over 30 patents in areas including AI algorithms, content generation, knowledge graphs, and data optimization.
Industry observers believe that, based on this series of initiatives, Weimob is actively seizing the direction of AI marketing technology evolution, strategically positioning itself at the critical juncture where generative AI transitions from a content production tool to an information distribution infrastructure. By building on its continuous accumulation in AI technology application and client resources, Weimob is forging a leading advantage and redefining the service paradigm for the AI era. Looking ahead, with the continuous iteration of Weimob Xingqi GEO Global Edition and the accelerated expansion of its global business, Weimob will persistently use the dual engines of "AI + Global Expansion" to transform the variable of AI technology into tangible growth outcomes, helping more Chinese brands achieve a value leap from "being seen" to "being trusted" in global markets.
