Not a tool made by 'just another system company,' but designed based on the on-site experience of store owners——
Achieved over 100 store introductions through our company in 10 months since its sales launch in July 2025, with only 7 cancellations (93% retention rate).
AI review generation, automated replies, and bulk GBP post management for a monthly system usage fee of 6,600 JPY/month (tax included).
Tenpo Joho Service Co., Ltd. (Chuo-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Takeshi Shigetomo; Real Estate License (1) No. 107443), as an agent for the AI review automation SaaS 'Kuchikomi Sensei' (provided by BOKE Inc.), has decided to hold monthly seminars on 'Kuchikomi Sensei' utilization and review acquisition for its client stores starting from June 2026, to commemorate surpassing 100 installed stores in the 10 months since the sales launch in July 2025.
In 10 months, 100 stores were introduced, with only 7 cancellations, maintaining a 93% retention rate. This is an achievement that combines a new installation pace of 10 stores per month on average with a high retention rate after tool implementation.
The cumulative number of installations across the industry exceeds 700 companies. Of these, over 100 stores (about 14%) were through our company, making it one of the top introduction records for a single agent.
■ The Meaning of '100 Stores in 10 Months, 93% Retention Rate' — A Solution to the Structural Problems of the MEO Industry
The MEO industry has long had a structural problem of 'tools being abandoned after installation, leading to cancellations.'
Many stores continue to pay MEO specialists 30,000 to 100,000 JPY per month while facing three main frustrations: 'sloppy handovers when a representative changes,' 'results are not visible in numbers,' and 'cancellation fees apply.'
Of the 100 stores that introduced 'Kuchikomi Sensei' through our company, only 7 have canceled in one year, maintaining a 93% retention rate.
Behind this figure is an operational structure that incorporates monthly utilization seminars (free, held once a month) and individual follow-ups based on the know-how from over 100 stores.
■ Breakdown of Over 100 Stores — Industry, Scale, and Region
The industries of the introduced stores are diverse.
- Food & Beverage (Ramen, Cafes, Izakayas, etc.): about 30% of the total
- Beauty (Hair Salons, Esthetics, Eyelashes, Nails, etc.): about 30%
- Health & Wellness (Orthopedic Clinics, Chiropractic, Acupuncture, etc.): about 20%
- Others (Dentistry, Cram Schools, Accommodations, Eye Care, etc.): about 20%
We cater to a wide range, from single-store owners to multi-store owners operating 5 or more stores.
The bulk management function for multiple stores is particularly popular with multi-store owners, with several cases of bulk introductions for over 10 stores.
*Industry ratios are based on our company's introduction records (as of April 2026, our research)
■ Changes Observed in Stores Introduced Through Our Company (Case Studies)
Through supporting the introduction to over 100 stores, we have observed common changes.
Before introduction, when relying solely on verbal requests from staff, the number of new monthly reviews was mostly limited to 1-2 cases.
After introducing 'Kuchikomi Sensei,' the process of survey -> review text generation -> Google Maps posting support runs automatically just by setting up a QR code.
In multiple introduced stores, we have confirmed a trend of improvement in the number of reviews, reply rates, and GBP posting frequency, leading to higher rankings on Google Maps.
■ Strengthening MEO Creates Ripple Effects for AIO & LLMO — The New Norm in the 2026 AI Search Era
In the process of supporting the introduction to over 100 stores, another important structural change has become apparent.
MEO (Google Maps ranking optimization), AIO (AI Overview) optimization, and LLMO (Large Language Model Optimization) are each separate areas of optimization.
However, when AI Overviews from ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google answer questions like 'recommended stores near XX station,' they are designed to reference the following three elements from Google Maps:
- Number of reviews and keyword relevance in the review text
- Owner's reply rate and speed
- Frequency and freshness of GBP (Google Business Profile) posts
These three elements are also the core elements of MEO (Google Maps search ranking optimization).
Therefore, by strengthening MEO, a ripple effect is created where the foundation for AIO and LLMO citation is also established.
By introducing 'Kuchikomi Sensei' for a monthly system fee of 6,600 JPY/month and automating the three MEO elements, a system is created that simultaneously builds the necessary citation foundation for the AI search era.
■ The 3 Mechanisms Supporting a 93% Retention Rate (Differences from Other Agencies)
The support we provide to stores introduced through our company consists of the following three points:
1. Monthly Utilization Seminars (Free, held once a month)
2. Initial Setup Support based on know-how from over 100 stores
3. Integrated Information Support for GBP x AIO x LLMO
■ Clear Pricing and Application Method
'Kuchikomi Sensei' through our company is offered at an initial fee of 33,000 JPY (tax included) and a monthly system usage fee of 6,600 JPY/month (tax included).
