Priority keywords — ranked by buying intent
Transactional and comparison-stage queries are listed first — these are what an ad budget should target. Purely informational queries are listed last, for context only; they are not the paid deliverable.

Findings
Chinese consumers shop imported probiotics through ranking lists.
Queries such as 进口益生菌十大品牌 (“top-10 imported probiotic brands”) and 美国益生菌十大排行榜 (“US probiotics top-10 ranking”) dominate the corpus. Brand discovery happens through list-format content — placement in ranking articles and list-style social content is the primary visibility mechanism, and these are high-intent terms worth bidding on directly.
The imported-vs-domestic comparison is an active, recurring question.
进口益生菌和国产益生菌有什么差别 (“what is the difference between imported and domestic probiotics”) appears in live suggestions. This is a comparison-stage, near-purchase query — ad copy and landing pages that answer it directly meet a question shoppers are already asking at the point of comparison.
US competitor brands already own Chinese search demand — the clearest ad-targeting opportunity.
The corpus contains 美国益生菌康萃乐功效 — a query naming Culturelle (康萃乐) directly. This is the single most actionable finding for paid campaigns: bid on the transliterated competitor brand names already being searched, rather than only generic category terms.
The children’s segment carries its own keyword layer.
益生菌哪个牌子的最好小孩 (“which probiotic brand is best for children”) shows segment-specific, near-purchase demand. If the product line includes a children’s SKU, it warrants its own ad group rather than inheriting adult-product terms.
Strain-level searches exist but carry research intent, not buying intent — context, not a target.
进口益生菌菌株 (“imported probiotic strains”) indicates a consumer segment researching at strain level. This is informational intent, not buying intent — useful for product-page copy, but not a keyword worth ad spend on its own.

Methodology & limitations
Keyword candidates are generated against a six-layer classification framework for imported consumer goods (import signal, country of origin, certification, product term, usage context, platform phrasing), then verified against live, public Chinese search data and ranked by buying intent — transactional and comparison-stage queries first, purely informational queries last. This sample uses the Baidu layer only; the full report cross-verifies each keyword across three Chinese search sources — Baidu, Taobao/Tmall and JD Worldwide — with additional sources added as they are verified so a keyword only ranks as high-priority if real demand for it shows up in more than one place. EverydayRank reports verified demand, buying-intent ranking, and query classification. We do not publish search-volume estimates that cannot be independently verified, and we state this limitation rather than obscure it. Marketplace search volumes for Tmall and JD are not published by their operators and are not claimed here.
