WEB marketing
What is SEO?
This refers to measures taken to display web pages at the top of search results. This allows you to direct users who are likely to be interested in your company’s products and services, or “potential customers,” to your website through search.
How long does it take to see marketing effects?
It depends on your approach. For example, in the case of expensive advertising promotions, immediate results can be expected, but they may be temporary or cannot be continued stably due to the cost. SEO measures do not cost anything, but it is best to expect that it will take at least six months to a year to see stable results.
Translation/proofreading
What is the difference between “localization” and “translation”?
In translation, the original text is translated into the target language as is, but in localization, the language is translated and at the same time, the expressions are changed as appropriate to suit the country. For example, “There is a 100 yen coin under the vending machine” is translated into English as “There is a 100 yen coin under the vending machine.”
However, since “100 yen” is the Japanese currency value, localization involves replacing it with the local currency “70 cents”.
Is infrastructure development necessary?
Localization will fail if the infrastructure cannot support global operations. Your system may not support characters, accents, dates, currencies, units of measurement, etc. in your target language, or users in your target market may not be able to customize your content.
Should I always do localization?
There are areas in which localization should be done and areas in which it is not necessary. Many websites, apps, and software are deployed globally, so localization is necessary. However, if you do not need to expand your products or services to other countries, there is no need to force yourself to do so. Try to judge the need for localization by keeping in mind whether the service is likely to be used or expanded in other countries.
Backend development
What are the risks of offshore development?
This includes language and custom barriers. Our staff, who have extensive experience in managing overseas engineers and are fluent in foreign languages, create work manuals that thoroughly comply with Japanese business standards and provide high-quality services.
How do you send work instructions to overseas bases?
Detailed instructions will be given through a chat tool, and requirements definition will be done through online meetings. We try to create opportunities to meet face-to-face in Japan and America on a regular basis to exchange information with each other. Even remotely, data and progress management are all centralized using online tools.
How do you keep up with technology trends?
We constantly check for the latest information on the topics you need from carefully selected, reliable sources. We also gather valuable information by participating in conventions of globally successful IT companies that are held regularly.
