SEO article production for owned media. Strong in software and SaaS articles, we learn how your media writes (style, structure, review criteria) and keep delivering articles that get found in Japanese search, from a single article. What grows with each article is your media's own writing library, with style, notation and verification methods updated article by article, available any time at a private URL. When you want to run it in-house, choose the In-house Pack; when you want the updates handled for you, choose monthly maintenance.
AI drafts; a person verifies and is accountable. Ranking reports at week 2, 6 and day 90.

→ Cheap, but the fixing is on you

There’s a fourth option — one that delivers what these three can't.
Rankings and traffic are not guaranteed; reports contain facts only.

| In brief | Highest annual cost. 3–6 months before first output. | Lowest cost, but stale facts and missed checks come back to your editors. | From one article, with rankings measured and reported after publication. Your writing rules are updated with each article and kept at your private URL, so new staff can refer to the same rules. Records are managed exclusively for your media and never used for other companies. |

After publication

Reports at week 2, week 6 and day 90. With each article, we update your writing rules at your private URL: style, notation, structure, verification procedures and reasons for corrections.
How it keeps going
Article → ranking report → one fix → writing-rule update → next article. New staff can use the same rules for production and review. We keep every decision in writing.
Since 2021 we have written for an overseas video-editing maker's Japanese media (600+ articles). They set themes and keywords; we build outlines and write. Named ranking examples: LumaFusion #3, VLLO #4, audio spectrum #1 (checked Sept 2026; rankings move).
Rank report example (our article, measured 2026-10-19)
After publication we report rankings at 2, 6 and 90 weeks/days in this form. Below is a real measurement for one article we wrote (site: filmora.wondershare.jp, Google Japan).

Article: a LumaFusion guide written in 2025. “—” means the research tool has no volume for that keyword.
OutlineReceived themes and keywords, prepared outlines for approval, then wrote.
ProductionUsed the products hands-on, then wrote the articles with internal linking and CMS publishing included.
ReportingRead post-publication rankings and kept returning one fix to make next.

The In-house Pack adds to the library you already receive with articles the support to run it in your environment (a setup procedure, a trial on one draft and the final set-up); Rules Maintenance keeps it updated after article orders stop. If the updated library alone keeps your team running, you need neither.
Standard (Claude Code or Codex) moves our production flow to your media: trial ¥50,000, then ¥250,000 for set-up after the trial passes. Lite (paste into ChatGPT and similar tools): trial ¥50,000, then ¥100,000 for set-up (tax excluded, each stage paid upfront). If the trial fails, we stop there and do not bill the remainder.
After article orders stop, we update the library once a month from your corrections. Up to 5 articles and 20 changes a month, 3 questions. ¥50,000/month (tax excluded, paid upfront, month to month).
