Frequently asked questions

We start by measuring. We put the same question to four AIs, look at search and maps alongside it, and turn where you are currently missing into numbers. The results decide what gets fixed.

That is decided by what we measure, not by us. The order that pays off depends on where your customers are looking. The three are not separate jobs; we run them as one flow.

Any business with a product or a brand whose search results turn into revenue. Most often they are Korean and other overseas companies moving into Japan, and Japanese companies moving out to the world.

From the research through to writing, fixing and getting you placed. Site structure, business profiles, and designing where you appear. We consider the work unfinished until the hands-on part is done.

Monthly. The first six months, though, we take on as one stretch.

Research, fix, measure again. Until that loop closes, there is no way to tell whether a change came from the work. It takes several turns before the spread of cited sources moves at all. Cut it shorter and it ends before anything can be measured.

It moves to a monthly basis. Whether to carry on is yours to decide each time.

Nothing at all for a first conversation. Once we are going ahead, we will tell you exactly what is needed, such as access to the site and to the Google Business Profile.

Whatever language and format you want. We do not hand over Japanese results in Japanese and leave it there. A report that does not reach you in a language you read was not worth writing.

It depends what was implemented. Site structure and business profiles are reflected relatively quickly; getting placed on third party outlets takes longer. Because we keep putting the same question at regular intervals, whether anything moved shows up in numbers each time.

Whether your name appears in the AI answer, and whether your information is among the sources it cites. For search it is rank; for maps it is which languages you show up in. In every case we judge by the trend across repeated measurements, never a single result.

Of course. Talking to us is free. For AI search there is also a free scan that tells you on the spot whether your site can be read.
