ONSIGHT · SEO ARTICLE PRODUCTION FOR JAPANESE OWNED MEDIA
SEO article production for owned media (strong in software and SaaS)
Articles for your Japanese media.
From one.
Reliably.

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.

The obvious options have
obvious problems.

Sound familiar?

01Hire In-House

6 months just to hire.

  • ×3–6 months to find the right hire
  • ×Japan SEO expertise is rare
  • ×Attrition risk never goes away
  • ×Native Japanese mandatory

→ Too slow for the market

02Using AI output as-is

Stale facts ship as-is

  • ×No hands-on verification
  • ×No source cross-checking
  • ×No record of media-specific rules
  • ×No accountable party

→ Cheap, but the fixing is on you

03Large Agency

You’re client #37.

  • ×Account manager changes every year
  • ×They don’t understand your product
  • ×Monthly reports are templated
  • ×50 clients, one template

→ Breadth over depth. Every time.

There’s a fourth option — one that delivers what these three can't.

ONSIGHT

From one article, we turn your corrections into your own rules and apply them to the next article's AI draft and human review.

Rankings and traffic are not guaranteed; reports contain facts only.

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.

How It Works

We learn how you write.
It compounds.

◎
Day 001 · Hand over

Your theme, with or without an outline

You provide the theme, an outline if available, product access and style rules. Outline creation includes keyword research. With your outline: ¥30,000 per article, first draft 5 business days after start. With our outline: ¥40,000, first draft 5 business days after outline approval (tax excluded).

⟳
5 business days02 · Verify and write

Checked against the product and primary sources

We operate the product, read English primary sources and choose terms using Japanese search data. The first draft takes 5 business days from start with your outline, or from outline approval when we create it. A verification memo accompanies the draft.

◈
After publication03 · Read and fix

Rankings read, one fix returned

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.

Case Study🔒 NDA Protected

Inside the Engagement

Received themes and keywords, prepared outlines for approval, then wrote.

Outline

Used the products hands-on, then wrote the articles with internal linking and CMS publishing included.

Production

Read post-publication rankings and kept returning one fix to make next.

Reporting

Your media's own writing library

A record of style, notation, structure, verification rules and reasons for corrections. Updated with every article at a private URL only you can open.

Example: “How to Use Runway” (our own article, September–October 2026)

113 changes through the final version; 20 observations recorded as rules (our records). For your media, the rules are shaped by your corrections.

For teams starting in-house production

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.

In-house Pack

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.

Rules Maintenance

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).

How the library works

Tell us your in-house plans or where handing over standards is getting stuck. We confirm the scope before proposing anything.

All items: tax excluded, no volume discount, rush +30%, invoiced on delivery.
