Frequently asked questions

HIKA is an international digital marketing and Medialinking agency with offices in Hong Kong and Paris. We help brands grow between Eastern and Western markets through search marketing, content marketing, e-reputation, linkbuilding and GEO, backed by 15 years of international SEO expertise.

We work across Europe, Asia (mainland China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia) and North America. We help European brands enter Asian markets, and Asian brands establish themselves in France, Spain, Italy, Germany, the UK and beyond.

We run multilingual projects across Asia and Europe, and our site is available in 11 languages. Training sessions are delivered directly in French, English, Mandarin, Cantonese or Vietnamese, with no interpreter.

Medialinking means building a complete strategy around three pillars: linkbuilding, powerful media and local social networks, for example WeChat Mini Programs for a Western brand entering mainland China.

SEO (search engine optimization) builds organic, unpaid visibility and credibility over time. SEA (search engine advertising) delivers immediate exposure through paid campaigns. Combined, they extend your international reach and accelerate growth.

GEO is about making your brand visible, understandable and citable in AI-generated answers: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews and others. It doesn't replace SEO: it builds on solid SEO foundations to increase the chance your brand is cited as a source.

Yes. We handle Baidu SEO, WeChat Mini Programs, Xiaohongshu (RED) content and KOL campaigns, and Douyin strategies, as well as other Asian platforms such as Naver in Korea, adapting your communication to each market's codes.

With full confidentiality. We monitor brand mentions and sentiment in several languages and regions, build a content and SEO response, and handle regulatory issues or public controversies with discreet, case-by-case approaches. You receive monthly reports on mentions, sentiment and progress.

A local extension (.hk, .cn, .jp, .kr, .vn…) inspires more trust than a generic .com, and an unsecured name can be taken by a squatter or competitor before you launch. We check availability across markets, adapt your name to local scripts and secure a defensive domain portfolio.

Hikalink is our Medialinking platform for buying quality links across Asia. Its dashboard lets you visualize your data, select the links you want, track your orders and steer your whole linkbuilding strategy.

Both. Sign up on Hikalink and build your strategy from our catalog on your own, or delegate it entirely to our team. Either way, you track your campaign's progress and link profile growth.
