Inquiry Cloud · AI for foreign-trade growth and management
From being found in search to inquiries you can follow up
Built for export manufacturers and traders, Inquiry Cloud connects Marketing CRM, RAG SEO, and RAG GEO. Professional content should be found and correctly understood in search engines and generative answers, then handed to a sales process that can follow up.
Three product pillars
Lead generation, AI-search visibility, and customer management are not separate tracks. Inquiry Cloud places them in one product structure, so content, the website, and sales follow-up can reinforce one another.
Marketing CRM
A customer-management tool for export teams. Bring website inquiries and follow-up into one place, recognise high-intent behaviour such as repeat visits or document downloads, and review what actually turned into business.
Learn moreRAG SEO
Use a company knowledge base as the source for search content, then combine keyword research, editorial review, and site optimisation to attract international visitors with clearer buying intent — not only product-term lists or generic drafts.
Learn moreRAG GEO
Generative engine optimisation so public product and technical explanations can be organised as clear, checkable statements and cited by tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.
Learn moreMany export teams do not lack products. They lack a loop that can close.
International buyers now use both search engines and AI answers for early research. If specialist content on the website is unclear, or inquiries are not followed up in one place, investment in content and traffic rarely becomes a manageable pipeline.
Hard to be found accurately in search
If you only target product names and keep catalogue pages thin, queries about comparing options, acceptance criteria, and applications often will not reach you. You may get impressions with little intent, or never appear in the questions buyers are actually asking.
Learn moreToo little citable wording in AI answers
When buyers ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, or Google AI Overviews about principles, selection, or types of suppliers, they often read a combined answer first and only then decide which sites to open. If public specifications, boundaries, and applications are not written as clear, checkable copy, a brand is unlikely to appear in those answers.
Learn moreInquiries arrive, but do not enter follow-up
When leads are scattered across email, chat tools, and spreadsheets, it is hard to know who should follow up first, or which pages actually led to a deal. Acquisition and sales become two separate books, and the next round of content has little to learn from.
Learn moreA starting point for manufacturers and traders like these
Inquiry Cloud is built for export teams that need a steady way to win international inquiries and then manage them. Whether you are still building an independent site, or already have visits but unstable conversion and follow-up, it is usually better to start with the weakest link than to launch every motion at once.
You have, or are about to build, an independent site
You already have or plan to build an independent site, and want content and search to bring visits closer to buying intent.
Learn moreSpecialised products and longer buying cycles
Your products are specialised and buying cycles are long, so specifications, applications, and boundaries need to be written clearly, not only as slogans.
Learn moreInquiries already arrive, but follow-up is incomplete
Inquiries are already coming in, but records are incomplete and ownership is unclear, and you want content-led acquisition and sales follow-up in one view.
Learn moreA loop that can close
Search and AI answers create discovery, the website receives the visit and the inquiry, CRM handles follow-up, and closed deals inform the next round of topics. Acquisition then becomes a method you can improve, not a one-off batch of articles.
Align with buyer questions
Organise keywords and content around learning, comparing, and preparing to enquire — including solution articles, technical notes, and FAQs, not only product names.
Learn moreAnswer from company knowledge
Collect public specifications, use cases, certifications, and boundaries first, then draft and review content to reduce vague or inaccurate claims and keep internal commercial details off public pages.
Learn moreMake the website able to receive the work
Clear structure, crawlability, and stable access in target markets give content and inquiry forms a place to land. A slow site, or one that is only a digital brochure, usually needs this step first.
Learn moreTurn visits into follow-up
Move high-intent behaviour and inquiries into CRM, agree who responds first, and look back at which content and keywords helped completed deals.
Learn moreGoogle SEO and GEO are not an either-or choice
Buyers still compare models and suppliers on Google and Bing, and they also ask generative engines about principles and selection. Doing only conventional SEO leaves a gap in AI answers; doing only generative engine optimisation gives up still-important search result pages. Inquiry Cloud’s RAG SEO and RAG GEO share one company knowledge base: public product and technical explanations are prepared once, then used both for search content and for a citable answer structure. The website receives the visit; Marketing CRM turns inquiries and high-intent behaviour into follow-up you can review.
A website is often the foundation
Without a usable marketing site, content-led acquisition starts on shaky ground
For many exporters, a foreign-trade website is a prerequisite for RAG SEO and RAG GEO, not an optional extra. If pages are slow, structured like a brochure, or unstable in target markets, later content is hard to crawl or convert. An independent site with a clear structure, sound search-optimisation practice, and stable access in target regions can become the hub for content and customer management. Where needed, pages can also be organised so generative engines are more likely to understand and cite the information.
Clients we work with
These client stories have already been published on the official Inquiry Cloud website, and are shown here with that authorization. Open each page for a company introduction, the business model, and the problems and approach already stated in the published case.
From precise exposure to high-quality conversion
“For a B2B company like ours, every customer is precious. How to improve the lead-generation process, build a marketing loop, and raise sales efficiency — empowering conversion at the tool level — is the direction we have been exploring with Inquiry Cloud.”
Jinqiang Laser
Opening a global market from zero
“The Inquiry Cloud marketing SaaS platform looks like a tool on the surface, but behind it is a complete methodology and an end-to-end way of thinking. Without a method to guide action, execution cannot land.”
Wantai Group
When traffic dividends fade, a 100-person export team breaks through
“From previously fragmented tools and data to close, integrated collaboration, Inquiry Cloud has helped Xinhai upgrade traditional manufacturing with higher efficiency and lower cost.”
Xinhai Mining
Doing well in cross-border business takes more than traffic
“Times are changing, and we as exporters need to keep raising the efficiency of digital-marketing acquisition and the precision of sales management. Connecting every touchpoint is not only a technical problem; it is also a way of thinking.”

Typical starting points by industry
Alongside the published client stories, the scenarios below are illustrative starting points by industry, not a complete client list. Start with the group closest to your product line, then discuss whether the site, the content, or follow-up needs work first.
Packaging and housewares
Packaging, daily products, home décor, bathroom, and household cleaning lines often have long catalogues and relatively thin application copy.
View industry scenariosMachinery and equipment
Machinery, equipment, engineering and warehouse machinery, and fasteners — buyers usually care about operating conditions, limits, and acceptance.
View industry scenariosBeauty and personal care
Cosmetics, colour cosmetics, and related supplies — pages need both brand expression and product facts that can be checked.
View industry scenariosApparel, textiles, and bags
Apparel, textiles, bags, outdoor, and home textiles — sample conversations are frequent, and sites often under-explain process and order boundaries.
View industry scenariosNew materials and energy
New materials, new energy, related components, and lighting — technology moves quickly, and public wording must keep pace with what can actually be delivered.
View industry scenariosFurther industry directions
If your industry is not in the five groups above, the same questions still apply: can the site receive the work, and is the weaker step content or follow-up?
View industry scenariosTwo optional ways of working
Teams that want closer support during implementation can choose VIP coaching, delivered against an agreed session plan for knowledge preparation, publishing, and follow-up rules. Inquiry Cloud also uses an AI digital employee as a supporting capability to speed up content preparation and follow-up — it does not replace a company’s own judgement about its products and markets. How these are combined depends on your current site and the problem you want to solve first.
