Findings, priorities and a 90-day plan.
Tokyo is one of Japan's most competitive commercial markets, and technical seo is where a lot of that competition is decided. Enterprise-grade technical SEO for complex stacks โ Next.js, Shopify Plus, headless commerce and multi-region sites. We fix rendering, log-file crawl budget, hreflang, schema and CWV so growth compounds.
For Tokyo, we adapt that playbook to local conditions: Japanese spelling and phrasing, google.co.jp SERP features, JPY reporting and JST working hours. We have delivered AI SEO programmes for Japan companies backed by SoftBank, JAFCO, Globis and TSE-listed brands, and for brands covered in Nikkei, TechCrunch Japan and Business Insider Japan. Every engagement includes a jurisdiction-appropriate MSA, a APPI-aligned DPA and a senior strategist available on JST hours whenever you need one.
Our Tokyo engagements are run by the same senior team that handles our Japan accounts, with AI systems doing the volume work โ research, clustering, QA โ so humans spend their time on judgement and quality.
Why Tokyo businesses choose us
- Local search reality. Tokyo buyers search on google.co.jp, compare in JPY and increasingly get their shortlist from AI assistants before they ever visit a website.
- Market conditions, not generic playbooks. Japanese SERPs are split across Google and Yahoo Japan, require native Japanese content of publishable quality and reward long-form authority over thin content.
- One accountable team. Technical SEO does not run in a silo here โ it is wired into the rest of your search, content and paid activity so work compounds instead of colliding.
- Measurement that matters. Every deliverable is reported against pipeline and revenue in JPY, not vanity metrics.

Search behaviour in Tokyo, Japan
Classic search still carries most commercial intent in Tokyo: google.co.jp results, map-pack listings and comparison pages are where shortlists form.
AI answer engines โ ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews โ increasingly summarise that same research. Technical SEO work only holds up if entities, structured data and verifiable claims are in place.
Paid and organic share the same audience in Tokyo. We use one keyword and audience model across both, so technical seo improvements reduce paid costs rather than duplicating them.
