You built an active WeChat community. We bring it the right members. GroupsWeChat is the English-language directory of WeChat groups in China — the place expats, international students and overseas buyers come when they need a group for a city, a trade or a topic. We now accept applications from group owners and admins who want to list or advertise their groups.
Why list with GroupsWeChat
- A targeted audience. Our visitors are expats, students, importers and business travellers looking for a specific kind of group in a specific place — not casual browsers.
- Search visibility. The directory has city pages across 15 Chinese provinces plus topic hubs for business, housing, students, models and translators. Your listing sits on pages built around the searches people already make, such as “WeChat groups in Shenzhen”.
- Members who arrive with intent. People reach your listing because they are ready to join a group like yours, which means fewer one-message lurkers.
- Your group stays yours. You remain the admin and keep your rules. We send people your way; you decide who gets in.
Groups we list
- City communities for expats and newcomers
- Business, trade, sourcing, logistics and wholesale groups
- Housing and rental groups
- Student and university groups
- Professional groups: teachers, translators, QC inspectors, models and creatives
- Hobby, sports and social groups
Listing requirements
Every group is reviewed before it goes live. To be listed, your group must be:
- Active — genuine conversation most days, not just announcements or reposted ads.
- Moderated — at least one admin who removes spam and handles reports quickly.
- Accurately described — the name, topic, city and member count you give us are true.
- Clean — no scams, pyramid schemes, gambling, adult content or anything illegal in China.
- Respectful — members follow standards consistent with our group rules.
- English-friendly — run in English, or bilingual with English welcome.
- Reachable — the admin answers members who want to join.
We may remove a listing that stops meeting these standards.
Listing and advertising options
- Directory listing — your group on the relevant city or topic page.
- Featured placement — a highlighted position at the top of a city or category page.
- Sponsored announcement — a promoted post shared in our own groups.
- Custom campaigns — a combination for launches, events or recruiting.
Rates depend on placement, category and duration. The admin sends the current terms, guidelines and packages on request.

Frequently asked questions
What does a listing cost?
It depends on the placement, the category and how long it runs. The admin sends current packages when you apply — asking is free.
Do I stay in control of my group?
Yes. You remain the owner and admin, keep your own rules and decide who joins. A listing only sends interested people your way.
Can you list a group in a city you don’t cover yet?
Yes. New cities are added regularly, and a strong partner group can be the reason we add one.
Can my application be declined?
Yes. Groups that are inactive, unmoderated, misdescribed or off-limits under our requirements are not listed. If something can be fixed, the admin will tell you what.
