No More SNS Headaches for Your Store. AI-Powered SNS and MEO Management Service 'Pignet CARE' Launched for Businesses

Pignet Inc. will begin offering "Pignet CARE," an AI-powered SNS and MEO management service for stores, starting April 1, 2026.

"We know we need to do SNS. But we don't have the time."

Pignet CARE is a service born from the voices of store owners nationwide. We take full responsibility for posting and managing content on three platforms: Instagram, X, and Google Business Profile, with professional expertise.

■ Why is Pignet CARE needed now?

For store customer acquisition, the use of SNS and Google Business Profile (MEO) is now indispensable. Google is the most used platform for finding stores across all age groups, and the usage rates of Instagram and X are increasing year by year, especially among younger generations.

However, many store owners face serious challenges:

• No time to post -- Busy with their main business, continuous updates tend to cease.

• Lack of SNS personnel -- 44.4% of companies cite a shortage of SNS management personnel as a challenge.

• Existing management services are expensive -- Monthly costs of tens to hundreds of thousands of yen are a burden for small and medium-sized stores.

• Don't know which SNS to prioritize -- Confusion over platform selection often leads to doing nothing at all.

Stores that don't post on SNS lack a means for customers to "find" them on social media. In other words, no SNS presence is like being an "invisible store." Customers will gravitate towards stores that actively share information.

Previously, our company provided tools like "Pignet" and "Pignet Plus" to help store owners efficiently post on SNS using AI. However, we received many requests from those who "don't even have time to use the tools" or "want to leave everything to us," leading to the release of our new service, "Pignet CARE," which takes over all SNS management for stores.

■ What is Pignet CARE?

It is a service that fully undertakes the SNS and MEO management of stores with the help of AI and professionals.

Store owners only need to do one thing: send photos and videos.

Usage Flow

1. Send photos -- Simply send photos of your store via LINE or email.

2. AI automatically generates post text -- AI creates text optimized for Instagram, X, and Google Business Profile respectively.

3. Professionals review and post -- Quality checks are performed, and posts are simultaneously published on all three platforms at the optimal time.
