When Japanese buyers ask ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude for tools in your category — in Japanese — most non-Japanese brands don't appear, even after years of SEO. Japanly AEO is the only independent grader built for Japanese AI search: it scores Citation Rate, Honorific Tone (敬語), and Citation Structure with a RED / YELLOW / GREEN result, plus the exact Japanese test questions and a prioritized fix list. Free first scan, bilingual — from Tokyo.
Hi all — I'm Nic, founder of Japanly AEO, based in Tokyo.
I kept seeing strong foreign brands invest years in Japanese SEO, then stay invisible the moment a buyer asks ChatGPT or Gemini a question in Japanese. Japanese AI answers behave differently — politeness register, domestic-brand defaults, and Japanese-language sources all change who gets recommended, and an English-only audit misses it entirely.
So I built a free grader that scans your brand across ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini in Japanese and scores three dimensions: Citation Rate, Honorific Tone (敬語), and Citation Structure. You get a RED / YELLOW / GREEN result, the exact Japanese questions tested, and a prioritized fix list.
It's free — I'd genuinely love feedback from anyone selling into Japan.
