"I know I have to do SNS, but I don't have time."

Pignet CARE is a service born from the voices of store owners nationwide, saying 'I know I have to do SNS, but I don't have time.' We will take on the complete posting and operation for three platforms: Instagram, X, and Google Business Profile, with professional hands.

■ Why Pignet CARE is Necessary Now

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

However, many store owners face serious challenges.

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

  • Lack of SNS personnel -- 44.4% of companies cite a shortage of SNS operation personnel as an issue.

  • Existing operation agencies are expensive -- Costs of tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of yen per month are a burden for small and medium-sized stores.

  • Unsure which SNS to prioritize -- Hesitant about platform selection, unable to do anything in the end.

Stores that do not post on SNS have no 'means' for customers to 'find' them on SNS. In other words, lacking an SNS presence is the same as being a 'non-existent store.' Customers will gravitate towards stores that actively communicate.

We have previously offered tools such as 'Pignet' and 'Pignet Plus' that allow store owners themselves to streamline SNS posting using AI. However, hearing many requests such as 'we don't even have time to use the tools' and 'we want to leave everything to you,' we have released the new service 'Pignet CARE' to take on all aspects of store SNS management.

■ What is Pignet CARE

A service that completely takes over store SNS/MEO operations with AI and professional expertise.

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

Service Flow

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

  2. AI Automatically Generates Posts -- AI creates posts optimized for Instagram, X, and Google Business Profile respectively.

  3. Professionals Review and Post -- Conduct quality checks and post collectively to the three platforms at the optimal times.

4 Features

1. Just send photos. Leave the rest to us.

No need for operation, login, or thinking about post content. Store owners can focus on their main business.

2. Handle all three platforms: Instagram, X, and Google.

We handle posts for all three platforms. There's no need to open individual apps or go through the hassle of posting separately.


3. High-quality post content generated by AI.

AI tuned to the characteristics of each platform automatically generates post content. It is supervised by experts with a track record in SNS and MEO strategies.

4. Peace of mind with an approval flow.

Equipped with an approval function that allows store owners to confirm content before posting. Approval can be done with a single tap from a smartphone, eliminating the worry of 'posts being made without permission.'

■ Voices from Adopting Companies

① Kaminoya | 6 stores in Kumamoto Prefecture (Yakiniku, cafeteria, BBQ business)

'We knew SNS and Google were important, but it was difficult for each store to post regularly. That's when we learned about Pignet Plus. Since actually using Pignet Plus, our posts haven't stopped, and we can operate all stores with the same system. As it's centrally managed, we can also check other stores' posts, which often serves as a reference, making us think, 'There are many ways to present things.' We've seen an increase in customers who come after seeing us on SNS or Google.'

② Ajinoyukitan Kisuke (Miyagi Prefecture - Beef Tongue Specialty Store)

'Until now, we had to post separately for SNS and Google, which took a lot of time and made operations very difficult. Since starting to use Pignet Plus, it covers platforms comprehensively, increasing time efficiency and making SNS/Google operations easier.'

*These are comments from stores using Pignet Plus.

■ The Sentiment Behind 'CARE'

'CARE' means 'to be concerned about' or 'to value' in English.

Instead of just acting as an agent for store SNS, we strive to understand the store's appeal and carefully cultivate customer touchpoints. That is Pignet CARE's stance.

We continuously manage store SNS on behalf of busy store owners. We disseminate the store's presence through regular posts and maintain customer connections without interruption. Pignet CARE aims to be like a 'caretaker' for store SNS.

■ Seeking Agency/Franchise Partners

We also offer an agency/franchise system for companies and individuals who wish to offer Pignet CARE as their own service.
