As of March 2026, 'Kuchikomi 365,' a review marketing support tool provided by Yello Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; Representative: Shin Inaba), has surpassed 6,000 user stores. We are pleased to announce the launch of a centralized citation management function through integration with 'Uberall,' provided by Recovery Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative: Koichi Haraguchi).
This feature enables store operators to efficiently link and manage store information, including 'Name, Address, and Phone Number (NAP),' across multiple external media platforms. By reducing the complexity of information updates, it allows for the improvement of 'citations,' which are becoming increasingly important not only for Google Business Profile (GBP) and MEO strategies but also for AIO (AI Optimization).
In recent years, user information search behavior has expanded from traditional search engines to conversational searches using generative AI. Consequently, it is more important than ever that unified and accurate store information is mentioned across various media on the internet, rather than just within Google Business Profile.
'Citation' refers to the mention of a store's NAP on the internet. Google evaluates citations as a sign of 'high visibility,' contributing to higher rankings in map and organic searches. Inconsistent information leads to lower evaluations and loss of user trust. Furthermore, citation signals account for 13% of factors in AI search, as AI prioritizes stores mentioned reliably across the web.
With this integration, updating the Kuchikomi 365 dashboard automatically updates information across major partner media and generates missing citations. As of March 2026, 23 media platforms are supported, with more to be added. This solves issues such as the burden of manual updates, missed changes, and user churn due to inconsistent information.
Benefits include: 1. Massive reduction in man-hours; 2. Improved credibility for MEO/AIO; 3. Enhanced user experience. Moving forward, Kuchikomi 365 will serve as a comprehensive platform for review management, GBP operations, and citation maintenance.
