FAQ
What does it cost?
Assessments start from ¥◯◯0,000; execution support starts from ¥◯◯0,000/month depending on project scope (all prices exclude consumption tax).
How long does a project take?
Standard timelines: 2 weeks for assessment, 1 month for strategy design, and 3–6 months for execution support.
Can't we handle this in-house?
You can — but building GEO expertise and implementation know-how typically takes 6–12 months. We recommend accelerating the ramp-up by working alongside us.

Monthly reporting on four metrics: your visibility in AI search, citation count, session transitions, and inquiries.
How are you different from other GEO consultants?
A 20+ year enterprise network, implementation infrastructure with 300M+ bot logs, and verified measured cases. The difference is execution that doesn't end with a proposal.
