Our Mission

Making Japanese SEO Accessible to Everyone

The Japanese search market is unique. With three writing systems, complex compound nouns, and cultural nuances that translation tools miss entirely, ranking in Japan has traditionally required either native expertise or expensive agency partnerships. Most businesses entering Japan face an impossible choice: pay $500-1,500 per article and wait weeks for delivery, or settle for AI-generated content that Japanese readers immediately recognize as foreign.

KIJI-SEO eliminates this trade-off. We combine real-time competitive intelligence with AI that truly understands Japanese — not through translation, but through native language analysis. The result is research-grade content that passes the three-second test Japanese readers apply to every piece of content they encounter.

Every article we generate is backed by 125+ data points extracted from your actual competitors. Every claim is cited. Every keyword is strategically placed based on what's actually ranking, not what Western SEO tools assume works in Japan.

Our Approach

Intelligence First, Content Second

Most AI writing tools start with a prompt and end with generic content. KIJI-SEO starts with research. Before a single character is written, our system analyzes the top-ranking pages for your target keyword, extracting everything from heading structures and keyword density to readability scores and semantic patterns.

We detect Japanese compound nouns that Western tools miss entirely — the phrases that represent 60% of actual Japanese searches. We measure readability using the same jreadability standards that Japanese publishers use. We identify the gaps in competitor content that create opportunities for your articles to rank.

Only after this intelligence gathering does our AI begin writing. And it writes with full context: what competitors are saying, what they're missing, and exactly how to position your content for maximum visibility. The result isn't just an article — it's a strategic asset built on competitive intelligence.
