## Background of Providing 'Kuchikore'
When searching for stores or facilities, user behavior has significantly changed.
Previously, information gathering was centered around portal sites and websites on search engines. However, it is now common practice to check store information on Google Maps through searches such as 'Region name + Industry' or 'Nearby XX'.
Users make decisions regarding visits, reservations, and inquiries while checking not only the store name and location but also the number of reviews, star ratings, photos, business hours, service details, and post information.
Therefore, how a store is displayed on Google Maps, what kind of reviews are accumulated, and whether the store information is accurately and attractively maintained are crucial elements in attracting customers.
On the other hand, many stores face the following challenges:
- Want to increase reviews but find it difficult to ask customers
- Lack of pathways to encourage review posting
- No time available to reply to reviews
- Google Business Profile information remains outdated
- Unable to continuously post or update photos
- Unable to grasp rankings on Google Maps or differences with competitors
- Want to start MEO countermeasures but don't know where to begin
- Don't know how to prepare store information for the AI search era
'Kuchikore' is provided as a service that comprehensively supports review acquisition, review utilization, and Google Maps operation to solve these issues.
## Reviews Influence Recruitment and Corporate Value
In recent years, reviews have become an important information asset that affects not only the decision-making process for visits and inquiries but also recruitment activities and corporate value.
It has become common for job seekers to search for company or store names before applying and check their evaluations on Google Maps, review sites, and social media. From the content of the reviews, the workplace atmosphere, service quality, customer service attitude, and reliability as a company are often judged.
Furthermore, reviews are a visualization of the company's impression from the customer's perspective. Stores and facilities with an accumulation of positive reviews provide peace of mind to users and lead to increased trust as a workplace and enhanced corporate branding.
Conversely, if there are few reviews, no replies, or negative reviews are left unaddressed, it can cause anxiety for both users and job seekers.
Therefore, reviews must not be seen merely as a customer attraction measure, but rather as an important touchpoint to enhance recruitment capabilities and corporate value, requiring continuous maintenance and utilization.
