The difference
Why SEO in Japan is different
The same product is described, compared and trusted differently in Japan. Learn how search works in Japan.
Language & keyword patterns
Japanese mixes kanji, kana and English loanwords. The term buyers use is rarely the literal translation.
Search intent & SERPs
Comparison media, review platforms and AI summaries shape what ranks — and what earns the click.
Trust signals
Local proof, company information and Japanese-language detail matter before anyone contacts you.

FAQ
Japan SEO FAQs
How long does Japan SEO take?
It depends on your site, competition and starting point. We agree on measurement and leading indicators at the start so progress is visible before rankings fully move. We do not guarantee rankings.
Who reviews the Japanese content?
Our team writes and edits natively in Japanese. We can include review steps with your local team or HQ and explain changes in English.
We already have a global site. Do we need a separate Japanese site?
Not necessarily. We assess your current structure — subdirectory, subdomain or ccTLD — and recommend what fits your resources and goals.
Do you report in English?
Yes. Strategy documents, reports and meetings are available in English.
