Straight answers on how we work. Where the risk sits. What the free teardown covers. One thing first: we build B2B pipeline in Japan for international companies. That means a steady flow of deals from other businesses. If you sell to shoppers, we are not the right fit. If your question is not here, the teardown is the fastest way to get it answered.
Working with us
Your senior team, the same people from your first call. There is no junior bench to switch you to. The named senior is locked into the contract. We cannot swap them without your sign-off. If your team ever gets less senior, that is a guarantee you can claim. Not a complaint you have to chase.
Often, yes. Plenty of clients keep their local agency or team. They bring us in for the parts the current setup is missing. Think reports in both languages and a senior game plan. If you want to build the skill in-house, the Japan Pipeline Academy trains your team. If you want it run for you, the Japan Pipeline Engine does. The free teardown tells you which gap to close first.
Because the job is two rooms at once. One room is your head office, where the question is ROI (what you get back for what you spend). The other room is Japan, where the question is whether a Japanese page lands with a real buyer. The founder lives in Tokyo. He runs the Japanese-language work with native experts at his side. And he speaks the head office language just as well. The work is built in Japanese on the ground. One med-tech client hit 14.78% CTR (the share of people who click an ad). That is twice the industry average.
The big networks ask for big minimum spends and staff your account with juniors. You get the founder running the work. A contract that rolls month to month. Pay tied to your pipeline. Smaller is the feature here, not the apology.
We write everything down as we go, so your team keeps the full Japan playbook and can run it without us. And if you want to bring it fully in-house, that is exactly what the Academy is for. You are never locked into needing us.
Pricing, contracts and risk
We do not post prices, because the right number depends on the size of the job and the pipeline at stake. Our pay is tied to results: the base covers the work, and we profit when your pipeline grows. The free teardown comes first. It ends with straight advice and no strings attached.
No. The contract rolls month to month. Cancel any month with 14 days notice. No lock-in and no exit fee. Worth knowing: clients still average more than three years with us. The work keeps clients here, not the paperwork.
The risk moves toward us, not you. The base fee just about covers our costs, and the results part only pays out when your pipeline actually grows. We win when you win.
We match the flow of leads (people ready to talk to sales) to what your sales team can handle, and the fee moves with it. If your side slows down for a stretch, we lower the base. You never pay full price for much less work.
Three promises, in writing. Campaigns live in 14 business days or your first month's base is free. Your first qualified Japanese lead within 45 days or we keep working at no added base fee until it lands. And if the pipeline we can trace to our work goes backwards on our watch, we give back half the base for those months.
The method and results
Most agencies sell you a quarter and disappear into a dashboard. We run the Japan Pipeline Method, a four-step system on a weekly loop. You see what week eight looks like before you sign. Every number we show you has a source and a date. Proof, not promises.
Foundation takes two to four weeks. First qualified leads usually land inside the 45-day guarantee window. The gains that stack up (lower cost per lead and better-qualified pipeline) build from month two onward as the weekly loop does its work.
Not at all. Attribution (knowing which ad made the sale) is part of the 14-day setup, not something you have to bring us. We build one source of truth so every result traces back to what caused it.
The whole funnel (the path a buyer walks from ad to deal), from the offer to the sales handoff. Running ads is the easy part. We are paid on pipeline, so we check everything between the click and the closed deal. If the problem sits before or after the ads, we point it out.
Getting started
Yes. No fee. No catch. No duty to work with us afterward. The fix list is yours to keep. We do it because a sharp, honest teardown is the best way to show how we actually work.
Your website. Read-only access to your ad accounts and analytics (your traffic numbers). Plus about ten minutes of setup time. And yes, it helps before you launch: we map the Japan funnel you should build and the costly first-year mistakes to skip.
