What is Japanly AEO?
Japanly Aeo is the only independent AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) measurement tool built specifically for Japanese AI search. It evaluates how global brands appear when Japanese-language users ask questions to ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, providing 3-dimension scoring across Citation Rate, Honorific Tone (敬語適合度), and Citation Structure.
The tool simulates Japanese-language answers across the three major AI platforms and judges how often a brand is mentioned, whether the tone respects Japanese honorific conventions (keigo), and what schema/markup the AI can cite from the website. Results are delivered in 2 minutes with instant RED/YELLOW/GREEN scoring and a prioritized fix list. The free first scan covers 5 questions out of the box, takes 30-60 seconds, and requires no credit card.
Key features include the exclusive Honorific Tone metric (the only JP-language fluency metric in AEO), independent measurement not bundled with any CRM platform, and coverage of ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini—the three AI tools Japanese B2B buyers actually use for vendor research. The tool provides sample AI response displays showing exact Japanese test questions and how the brand appears in each AI's answer.
Japanly Aeo is built for global brands operating in Japan, Japanese enterprises with web SEO teams, bilingual marketers, and any company wanting to ensure their brand is correctly answered by AI tools in Japanese. The builder, Atsushi, created it because existing AEO tools were English-centric and didn't evaluate keigo, tone, or citation structure properly for brands in Japan.
The tool delivers a keigo-native written report in the paid Starter audit tier, with 10-day delivery and hands-on AEO consultant support. Sample scans show top brands like Lululemon Japan and Nintendo achieving 100/100 composite scores, demonstrating the tool's ability to measure optimal AEO performance.

Frequently asked questions about Japanly AEO
What is Japanly Aeo and what does it do?
Japanly Aeo is the only independent AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) measurement tool built specifically for Japanese AI search. It evaluates how global brands appear when Japanese-language users ask questions to ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, providing 3-dimension scoring across Citation Rate (how often AI mentions your brand), Honorific Tone (敬語適合度—tone and nuance accuracy including Japanese honorific conventions), and Citation Structure (schema/markup AI can cite from your site). Results are delivered in 2 minutes with RED/YELLOW/GREEN scoring and a prioritized fix list.
What is Honorific Tone (敬語適合度) and why is it unique?
Honorific Tone (敬語適合度) is the only AEO tool metric measuring whether AI-generated copy about your brand respects Japanese honorific conventions (keigo). This is the only JP-language fluency metric in AEO—other tools measure English fluency, but Japanly Aeo measures Japanese fluency specifically. It evaluates tone and nuance accuracy when your brand is mentioned, which is critical for brands operating in Japan where proper keigo usage affects customer perception.
What is included in the free scan?
The free scan includes 5 questions × 1 LLM with instant on-screen score, available immediately. You submit your URL and the 5 questions you care about, and the tool simulates Japanese-language answers across ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini to judge how your brand shows up. It takes 30-60 seconds, requires no credit card, and delivers results in 2 minutes with instant RED/YELLOW/Green scoring.
What does the Starter audit include and how much does it cost?
The Starter audit costs $1,500 and includes 10-day delivery (not instant), a keigo-native written report (not just on-screen score), and hands-on AEO consultant support. This paid tier provides more comprehensive analysis than the free scan, with professional consultant guidance for improving your AEO performance in Japanese AI search.
Which AI platforms does Japanly Aeo cover and why those three?
Japanly Aeo covers ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini—the three AI tools Japanese B2B buyers actually use for vendor research. The coverage matches Japanese buyer behavior specifically, ensuring the tool evaluates the AI platforms that matter most for brands targeting Japanese customers making business decisions.
Is Japanly Aeo bundled with any CRM platform?
No, Japanly Aeo is an independent measurement not bundled with any CRM platform. You can run the scan whether you use HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, or no CRM at all. This independence ensures unbiased measurement regardless of your existing marketing technology stack.
How long does it take to get results?
The free scan takes 30-60 seconds to run and delivers instant on-screen results in 2 minutes total. The paid Starter audit has 10-day delivery for the comprehensive keigo-native written report and consultant analysis, so it's not instant but provides more detailed output.
Who is Japanly Aeo built for?
Japanly Aeo is built for global brands operating in Japan, Japanese enterprises with web SEO teams, bilingual marketers, and any company wanting to ensure their brand is correctly answered by AI tools in Japanese. The builder Atsushi has background in large Japanese enterprise, web SEO, and is bilingual, creating this tool because existing AEO tools were English-centric and didn't properly evaluate keigo, tone, or citation structure for brands in Japan.
What are the three scoring dimensions and what do they measure?
The three scoring dimensions are: (1) Citation Rate (44/100 in sample)—measures how often AI mentions your brand out of 5 questions; (2) Honorific Tone (敬語適合度) (55/100 in sample)—measures tone and nuance accuracy when your brand is mentioned, including proper Japanese honorific conventions; (3) Citation Structure (36/100 in sample)—measures the schema/markup AI can cite from your website. All three combine into a Composite Score (45/100 in sample).
When will subscription tiers be available?
Subscription tiers are coming soon, but no specific launch date is provided. Free scan users will be notified first when subscription tiers launch, so anyone using the free scan should sign up to receive notification about the new paid subscription options.
