170 million daily users — China's number one map app. Since integrating with KakaoTaxi in late 2025 it has become essential for Chinese visitors to Korea.

Why it matters
Chinese visitors open the map app they are used to, even in Korea. Google works for them; habit does not change. Amap has 170 million daily users and leads the Chinese market.
The decisive change came in late 2025, when Amap integrated with KakaoTaxi so a ride can be hailed inside the app. Once it handled both navigation and taxis, it became the screen Chinese visitors keep open longest while they are in Korea.
What we do
01
Premium POI listing
Adding the venue to the map, with premium listings available across F&B, retail, beauty and clinics. We handle the overseas-business registration and its documentation.
02
Listing benefits
A premium listing carries a verification badge, placement in recommended lists, and visual emphasis on the map itself — what makes you the one noticed first when several venues appear together.
03
CPM display advertising
Splash screens on app launch and in-app banners, both priced per impression. The lever to pull when awareness needs to move quickly.
04
Page management and insights
Coordinates set against the actual building entrance, Chinese name and address aligned with your other channels, and insight data reported so you see the real views and responses.

Quarterly
Re-check
Periodic checks for changed hours or location drift.
Frequently asked questions
How long does registration take?
Two to four weeks is typical, depending on the platform's review. Requests for additional documents can extend it, so we keep you updated as it moves.
Do you handle Baidu Maps too?
We can, if it's needed. But Amap sees higher real-world use among travellers, so with a limited budget we'd start there.
