Rank at the top when someone in your area needs a repair or maintenance service — and turn that click into a call

Most home service businesses in Japan see measurable movement in local pack rankings within 60–90 days of a full GBP build-out and citation campaign. Japan's home services search market is less saturated with SEO-optimised businesses than comparable markets in the US or UK — a properly built bilingual profile can enter the pack faster than the competitive landscape alone suggests. Sustained top-3 position typically locks in by month 3–4.

For businesses serving both Japanese residents and English-speaking expatriates in Tokyo — yes. The expat population in Tokyo is significant and searches predominantly in English. A Japanese-only profile is invisible to this customer segment. We build and optimise profiles in both languages and advise on whether bilingual website pages are warranted for your specific service and area.

Japanese customers are less accustomed to being asked for online reviews than customers in Western markets — but they will leave them when asked politely and directly after a successful job. A QR code on your invoice linked to your Google review page is effective. We provide Japanese-language review request templates adapted for cultural communication norms and an English variant for expatriate customers.

Paid search (Google Ads) places you at the top immediately but stops generating calls the moment you pause spending. SEO builds a local pack position with no per-click cost that compounds over time. In Japan, where trust-building matters before a purchase decision, consistent organic visibility often carries more conversion weight than paid placement — particularly for services involving access to a customer's home.

Yes — ward-level service pages let you rank in every ward you service. A plumbing repair company covering Shibuya, Minato, and Shinjuku needs a separate optimised page for each ward. We build these pages in Japanese and English as part of the engagement.

Building earthquake repair and post-seismic inspection content into your website and GBP before demand spikes — not in response to an event — is the correct approach. Businesses already ranking in the local pack and for relevant keywords capture the demand surge when it occurs. We build this content into the strategy during the initial engagement so you are positioned ahead of the next event.

We do not publish fixed pricing. A single-trade repair business operating in one ward needs different work than a multi-service maintenance company covering ten wards across Tokyo. The diagnostic gives us an accurate scope and cost before any retainer starts. Request the diagnostic first.
