Sogou has the unique advantage of integrating social content from QQ and WeChat into their search engine results, whereas those contents are not available to the other search engines. This puts Sogou in a unique position to attract social media savvy locals and provide an abundance of search results. On the other hand, all QQ browsers also use Sogou as their default search engine.

Sogou has leveraged their most popular Chinese input software, Sougou Pinyin and allow brands to feature customizable widgets with product images and links where users can type in a brand’s name, offering brands direct visibility to the users.
