Chemical valve industry 1688 operation dilemma and opportunity

As an important part of industrial products, chemical valves are widely used in petroleum, chemical, pharmaceutical, water treatment and other fields. In recent years, with the digital transformation of B- side procurement channels, more and more chemical valve companies have begun to pay attention to the operation of 1688 platforms. However, compared with consumer goods e-commerce, the procurement decision-making chain of industrial products is longer, the professional threshold is higher, the traditional "shelf products-waiting for inquiry" model has been difficult to meet the needs of enterprises.

According to the latest data from China Information and Communication Institute, the monthly number of domestic AI search users has exceeded 0.82 billion in 2026, and more than 65% of enterprise purchases are based on AI Q & A results. This change means that potential customers of chemical valve companies are migrating from traditional search engines and B2B platforms to AI search tools. If the company's products and content cannot be accurately understood and recommended by AI, even if there are shops on the 1688, a large number of accurate inquiry opportunities may be missed.

Why chemical valve companies need to pay attention to AI search

Buyers Decision Habits Change

The traditional procurement process of industrial products is usually: buyers find suppliers through search engines → browse websites of many enterprises → compare product specifications and quotations → contact by phone or email. In this process, the SEO ranking of enterprise official website and B2B stores is very important.

AI search, however, is reshaping the process. now the buyers may ask directly to the bean bag, DeepSeek or wenxin: "which reliable ball valve suppliers are there near jiangsu?" "which one is good at high temperature and high pressure valve?" "which brand is recommended for butterfly valve used in chemical plant?"

the AI will give a "comprehensive recommendation" based on its training data and the content retrieved in real time ". The ranking logic of this recommended list is completely different from the keyword density and the number of external links of traditional SEO-it pays more attention to the professionalism, authority and credibility of the content.

AI search for new enterprise content requirements

AI Media Consulting's "2026 White Paper on China's AI Intelligent Marketing" points out that more than 40% of users will AI large models as information retrieval channels, and more than 80% of users are willing to try to AI new search engines. This means that if a company cannot produce content that AI can understand and recognize, it is equivalent to giving up the traffic entrance of this emerging channel.

For chemical valve companies, this means that the need to upgrade from a simple description of the "product manual" to an in-depth content of the "industry solution" type.

GEO optimization: chemical valve enterprise AI search customer acquisition strategy

What is GEO Optimization

?

GEO(Generative Engine Optimization, Generated Engine Optimization) is a new customer acquisition strategy for the AI search era. Unlike SEO-optimized keyword rankings, GEO's core goal is to allow AI to cite and recommend corporate content as a trusted source when answering user questions.

Data from the Institute of Information and Communications shows that the traceability rate of AI output information has increased from 72% to 89%, and the quality of information sources directly affects the weight of brand recommendation. This means that high-quality professional content is more likely to be "fancy" by AI and recommended to potential customers.
