Thank you for your support. This is Orcel Saito.
Last week, a customer contacted me with a question about Rakuten SEO sales.
It seems that Rakuten SEO sales calls, which were thought to have become extinct, are still around.
This service caused a lot of controversy over five years ago, but it seems that companies like that are still in business.
I have consulted with several companies in the past, and what was frightening was that they were recording all interactions from the moment of the sales call.
Because they are anticipating a trial.
In fact, we have received consultations from several companies from people who have been taken to court.
It became a huge problem, and Rakuten even issued a warning, so I thought they had disappeared, but it seems they are still coming in to sell them things.
They suggest keywords (including those that no one searches for) that will easily rank highly in searches, and they sell themselves by attributing the success of thriving shops to their SEO.
But in reality, all you do is log in every once in a while.
So the contract is for 50,000 yen per month, or something like that, for six months or one year.
When I asked other people, I found out that there are still many companies that are in disputes or going to court over this issue.
This may sound attractive to those receiving sales pitches, but paying 600,000 yen a year just to log in occasionally is a real waste.
Also, if you use simple keywords, anyone can rank highly.
In the first place, Rakuten SEO is something you do yourself.
Then you enter the keywords and register.
It's not a monthly fee.
It's like having someone handle your product registration for you and continuing to pay a fee for a year.
What's really important now is what strategy we adopt.
The strategy has been revised to increase sales.
Even if you review keywords and pages on your own, it will be a waste of time if you don't have a strategy.
Even if you make some adjustments to your strategy, your sales increase, and then you become satisfied and go back to doing things your own way, the benefits continue.
Fight where the market is.
Watch your rivals and cheat.
Analyze your company's data carefully, set goals, and take action.
Whether you understand this or not is the dividing line between success and failure.
By the way, we have held Rakuten SEO seminars several times in the past, so if you are interested, please let us know.
There are also simple tools that allow you to research the keywords of top-ranking stores.
I will send it to you without any cost.
Even in the age of AI, the e-commerce world is still old.
That's why I think now is our chance.
P.S.
The last business restructuring subsidy will be available next month.
We can also handle the application process on your behalf, so if you are interested, please feel free to contact us.
We would be happy to discuss your business ideas with you, so please feel free to contact us.
