Japanese AI Visibility Audit
Japanese buyers increasingly ask AI before they search — and they ask in Japanese. We measure exactly what ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity tell them about your category, score you against competitors, and hand you a prioritized fix.
The blind spot no analytics tool shows you
When a Tokyo procurement manager asks an AI assistant “which brands are reliable in this category?” — in Japanese — the answer is assembled from Japanese-language sources: media coverage, industry sites, structured data, and machine-readable company summaries.
If your footprint in those sources is thin, you simply don’t appear. No dashboard warns you. Your competitors get recommended, and you never see the deal you lost. English-language SEO tools can’t see this layer at all.
What the audit answers
- ✓Are you named when Japanese buyers ask AI about your category — without mentioning your brand?
- ✓Which competitors are recommended instead, and why?
- ✓Is what AI says about you in Japanese even accurate?
- ✓What, specifically, should you fix first — and what will it cost?
The method
The same methodology we developed for our own research — including a 2026 study of AI-search readiness across 3,709 listed Japanese companies — applied to your brand and category.
Live measurement, 40+ Japanese prompts
Non-branded buyer questions in Japanese — the way real buyers ask — run against ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. Every response is archived as evidence.
Visibility scoring vs. competitors
Mention rate, recommendation rate, and accuracy — for you and up to five competitors you name (or we identify).
The insider read — what those answers mean to a Japanese buyer
This is the part no tool can produce. Our analysts — the same team that runs digital strategy for Japanese companies inside this market — annotate how each AI answer lands with a Japanese buyer: does the phrasing signal “trusted brand,” “unknown import,” or “avoid”? Every annotation sits next to the original Japanese text, so nothing rests on translation alone.
Root-cause analysis
Why the gap exists: your Japanese-language content footprint, structured data (schema.org), llms.txt, Japanese media citations, and crawler access — each checked and graded.
Prioritized roadmap
A ranked fix list with effort estimates — what to do in-house, what to delegate, and what to skip. If you want us to implement, that’s the Japan Digital Launch; the audit stands alone either way.
