Getting AI to name you and getting AI to describe you correctly are two different jobs.
We call the first offensive AIO and the second defensive AIO, and handle both. Most defensive work means changing the site, CMS, PDFs, and CDN, so the same team that builds systems implements it.

What is AIO?
AIO (AI Search Optimization) means making sure that when generative AI such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google AI Overview talks about your company, what it says is correct and your name comes up as an option.
We split it into offense and defense. Offense aims to get you recommended in comparison and consideration questions. Defense keeps AI from giving outdated or wrong answers about your pricing, specs, and scope.
Offense gets the attention because its results are visible, but without defense, the AI that recommends you may then quote a wrong price or a discontinued service. Which comes first depends on your industry and on what AI currently says about you.
攻めのAIOと守りのAIO
Offensive AIO
Get named as an option in comparison and consideration questions
- List the questions prospects actually ask AI, by persona and buying stage
- Publish pages that answer those questions directly (definitions, comparisons, price ranges, FAQ)
- Build up third-party signals: case studies, expert reviews, press, comparison articles
- Track, against competitors, who gets named for which questions
Defensive AIO
Keep AI from stating outdated or wrong facts about you
- Find and clean up PDFs and pages with ended campaigns, old prices, or old specs
- Rebuild image-only spec and price tables as real text tables
- Fix pages whose content only appears after JavaScript runs
- Align the same facts across web, PDFs, catalogs, and in-store materials
- Measure actual AI crawler visits from CDN access logs
- Check AI answers for errors on a schedule, and fix the source when they appear
For industries with time-limited information such as rates, prices, and campaigns, or with many product specs, we usually recommend starting with defense.
こんな課題をお持ちの方へ
- In comparison questions, ChatGPT and Perplexity name competitors but never you
- AI answers quote your old prices or campaigns that have ended
- AI describes your product specs or scope incorrectly
- Your price and spec tables are images, and you can't tell whether AI can read them
- You want to confirm AI crawlers actually reach your site and aren't being blocked
- You've heard of AIO but don't know where to start

Implementation & Operation
Most defensive AIO work is changes to the site, CMS, PDFs, and CDN. We don't stop at a report: the same team that builds systems implements structured data, rendering changes, CMS field design, and log measurement.

よくある質問
- What's the difference between offensive and defensive AIO?
- Offensive AIO aims to get generative AI to recommend you in comparison and consideration questions. Defensive AIO keeps AI from giving outdated or wrong answers about your pricing, specs, and scope. Recommendations depend heavily on signals outside your site, such as case studies, press, and comparison articles; defense can be advanced by putting your own information in order.
- Is AIO consulting free?
- Yes, the first AIO consultation is free. Start with our free AIO audit tool (analyzer.pref.co.jp), then reach out via the contact form. No commitment to purchase required.
- Do I need special AI-only markup or formats?
- No. The basis is accurate information that people can read, placed where it's easy to extract. Structured data and llms.txt help, but they won't do much if the pages themselves are outdated, image-only, or only render with JavaScript.
- What's the difference between an AIO audit and AIO consulting?
- An AIO audit is a free automated tool that scores your SEO/AIO/LLMO status in 30 seconds from just a URL. AIO consulting adds asking AI about you directly and reviewing errors and gaps with our team.
- How is AIO different from SEO, LLMO, and GEO?
- SEO targets search engine rankings. AIO targets how your company is treated inside AI answers. LLMO and GEO are the specific technical disciplines used to achieve AIO.
- How do you measure AIO results?
- AI answers often involve no click, so measuring revenue impact directly is hard. We agree on measurable indicators up front — AI crawler visits in CDN logs, whether you're mentioned for target questions, and the number of errors in answers — and track them over time. We can't guarantee results or timelines.

AI Search (AIO / LLMO)
What are LLMO and AIO, and how do they differ from SEO?
LLMO (AIO) is the work of making sure generative AI and AI search — ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude — understand your company correctly and describe it accurately. SEO is about ranking; LLMO is about whether an AI answer includes you as an option. Being recommended as a candidate tends to matter more for results than merely being cited as a source.
Can you check how AI tools currently describe our company?
Yes. We run the questions your buyers would actually ask ("which development firm is strong in X?", "how is company A rated?") and record whether you appear and how you are described. Where the description does not match reality, we trace it back to the wording on your own site and fix that. We can do a quick version of this in the first meeting.
How do you measure the impact of AI search?
No single metric captures it, so we combine several: the share of inquiries that report "found via an AI answer" in the how-did-you-hear-about-us question, branded search volume, the recommendation rate for a fixed set of prompts, and how closely AI descriptions match reality. Our own contact form asks that attribution question.
Where should we start with AI search?
Start by answering the questions your customers are likely to have, on your own site. Writing out 20–30 likely questions and answering them is already a solid first step. Next, rewrite vague claims ("we have deep expertise") into concrete facts: number of clients, years, industries, scope. AI can only quote what is stated specifically.
Does our CMS or content structure affect AI search?
It does. Structured, field-level content is easier for AI to reference, and you can reuse the same content as a retrieval source (RAG) internally. As an official microCMS partner we help design that structure and automate the operations around it. Sites with stale content lose both search evaluation and accuracy in how AI describes them.
Do we need llms.txt and structured data (JSON-LD)?
They are worth having: they make your site machine-readable for AI and crawlers. Our own site publishes llms.txt and per-page structured data. But they only expose what is written — if the content itself is vague, the markup will not help. We do both together.
