We support you with content marketing for your Japan expansion

Need help with SEO in Japan?

If you’re on this page now, you’re probably a marketer looking to expand into the Japanese market, or you’re a professional with a mission to do so. And maybe your company has experience using SEO to build a successful business in your country.

SEO in Japan is unique.

1. Japanese is a complex language

Compared to English, Japanese is a language with a large number of words and an extremely difficult grammar. In addition, the presence of kanji (Chinese characters) adds to the difficulty of the language, and even with the use of AI, the accuracy of machine translation is notoriously difficult to improve.
It is not uncommon for a single word to have multiple meanings, making it difficult to select keywords, the most important issue in SEO. It is also difficult to use machine translation, making it extremely difficult for foreigners to write content in correct Japanese.

2. Japanese are extremely cautious in their decision making

Japanese users are cautious about purchasing. They search many times for long-tail keywords, compare many competing products, and examine the content before finally making a free inquiry or downloading materials.
In order to convince the reluctant Japanese, simple appeals for functions are not enough.
You need precise, maniacal content that will convince the most discerning Japanese.

3. Japan is a battleground for SEO

Many Japanese companies, regardless of industry, are focusing on SEM.
This can be seen from the fact that an extremely large amount of corporate budget is allocated to search-linked advertising in Japan.

They are sometimes setting up dedicated SEO departments or hiring in-house writers to enhance the SEO of their sites on a daily basis.
You have to compete with these companies in the SERPs.
