TUKURO Inc. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Shunsuke Fujii; hereinafter 'TUKURO') is pleased to announce the official release of a store marketing support tool targeting local businesses and stores, compatible with MEO, LLMO, and AIO. In today's era where AI searches like ChatGPT and Gemini are widespread, we offer an integrated tool in a SaaS format that covers not only Google Maps optimization (MEO) but also AI search result optimization (LLMO).
Additionally, to commemorate the release, we will hold a collaboration seminar with cafe and gourmet influencer 'Cafe Yuji,' who has over 2 million total followers.
Background of the Release
In recent years, the ways consumers search for stores have rapidly diversified. In addition to local searches on Google Maps (MEO), the use of AI searches such as 'Asking ChatGPT' and 'Searching with Gemini' is surging. Relying solely on traditional MEO measures increases the risk of missing out on customer acquisition opportunities via AI search.
Furthermore, existing tools are often complicated to operate, and on-site staff cannot master them between their daily tasks, leading to the industry-wide problem of 'tools being abandoned after introduction.' We will fundamentally solve this from the perspective of the front lines.
- AI search users are rapidly increasing. Whether a store's review information is 'referenced' by AI has become the dividing line for customer acquisition.
- With the expansion of inbound demand, the need for information dissemination in multiple languages such as English, Chinese, and Korean is rapidly increasing.
- Systems that automatically link SNS posts like Instagram to multiple platforms are attracting attention as the key to operational efficiency.
To respond to these market changes, TUKURO has fully launched its store marketing support business, allowing users to manage 'MEO, LLMO, and AIO' completely within a single tool.

Representative's Comment
Shunsuke Fujii, Representative Director, TUKURO Inc.
The era where 'just doing MEO was enough' is coming to an end. With a rapid increase in people asking ChatGPT and Gemini 'What are some recommended cafes nearby?', stores that are not recognized by AI are becoming essentially non-existent. I want to increase the number of store owners who can stay ahead of these changes. Furthermore, based on the desire to develop a marketing tool that the front lines can continue to use—something only a physical store manager could create—we have consolidated necessary functions such as MEO, LLMO, AIO, and multilingual support into a single tool.
