Word of GPT is a Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) agency serving Tokyo-based companies. We measure your AI Share of Voice across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews, then build the content and distribution to win the answer in the Tokyo market.
In July 2026 we asked ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google the exact question a Tokyo buyer would ask — “best generative engine optimization agency in Tokyo” — and recorded every agency they named. This is that raw result, including the part that doesn't flatter us.

Method: one query per engine via a real browser, July 2026. Every agency above was then loaded independently and had to (1) state an AI-search offering on its own site — the quote is from that page — and (2) name Tokyo. Answers drift; this is a snapshot, not a standing. Full methodology →
Why GEO matters in Tokyo
Tokyo is the largest enterprise buying market in Asia, spanning manufacturing, robotics, finance and a maturing SaaS sector. Japanese buyers research overwhelmingly in Japanese, which makes the Japanese-language AI answer a nearly separate market.
Japanese buyers research in Japanese, and essentially no GEO measurement covers Japanese-language answers. For foreign vendors this is one of the largest uncontested surfaces in AI search — and for Japanese incumbents, an invisible exposure.
Japanese-language prompts are a largely uncontested surface for foreign vendors. Almost no GEO measurement covers Japanese, so the gap is both large and invisible to incumbents.

GEO in Tokyo — questions
What is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) for Tokyo businesses?
Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the practice of getting your brand mentioned, cited, and recommended inside AI answer engines — ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. For Tokyo-based companies, GEO is the discipline that decides whether you show up in the AI-generated shortlist a buyer builds before they ever visit your site.
How much does GEO cost in Tokyo?
Our GEO Visibility Audit in Tokyo is $3,000–$7,000, delivered in about a week, and benchmarks you against 3 named competitors across 5 AI engines and 200–500 buyer-intent prompts. Ongoing GEO retainers for Tokyo-based brands run $8,000–$20,000 per month on a 6-month minimum. Start with a free one-page Tokyo AI visibility snapshot.
How long until I see GEO results in Tokyo?
We won't invent a number. We looked for primary evidence on time-to-first-citation and found none — the "60–120 days" figure this industry quotes is a vendor convention, not a research finding. What we can say: technical fixes like per-engine crawler access land within days, and because we sample every prompt repeatedly, any change in your Tokyo mention and citation rates shows up in weekly reporting. Tokyo-based teams watch the real curve instead of trusting our forecast. See /evidence for the full grading.
Which AI engines do you track for Tokyo companies?
We track all five major answer engines for Tokyo-based businesses — ChatGPT (OpenAI), Claude (Anthropic), Perplexity, Gemini (Google), and Google AI Overviews — sampling each multiple times over a 14-day window. Single-shot answers are noisy; we report stable results.
Do you work in Japanese and English for Tokyo?
Yes. We sample and optimize prompts in the languages your Tokyo buyers actually use. In Tokyo that means Japanese and English. Bilingual GEO doubles the addressable prompt volume and is a real edge in markets where most agencies only optimize English.
What are the top GEO agencies in Tokyo?
In Tokyo the named GEO agencies we benchmark against include: admano.co.jp, サクラサクマーケティング株式会社｜SEO・Webマーケティング戦略のパートナーカンパニー, andmedia.co.jp. We track each of them in our 5-engine prompt corpus so you can see exactly where they out-cite you, and where you out-cite them. See the full buyers' guide at /geo-agencies.
