Strategic Partnership Announcement

On August 20, 2026, Smart Style Complex Co., based in Saitama, Japan, and U'eyes Design Co., located in Tokyo, announced a new business partnership aimed at revolutionizing website production through the integration of AI search optimization and human-centered design (HCD). This collaboration will offer clients a comprehensive diagnostic approach that simultaneously assesses how effectively websites are being recognized by AI and their user-friendliness for human visitors.

The Need for a New Approach

The landscape of web content evaluation has changed dramatically with the rise of generative AI technologies. As businesses strive for visibility in a saturated digital market, the way users interact with websites has evolved. Users increasingly encounter website content via AI-generated summaries rather than direct visits to the sites themselves. Consequently, for a website to be relevant, it must not only be optimized for AI citation but also cater to the human visitor's experience.

Smart Style Complex and U'eyes Design recognized that AI search optimization (LLMO) and human-centered design considerations had traditionally been managed in silos, often leading to inefficiencies. By merging these two disciplines into a single diagnostic and production workflow, the partnership aims to provide seamless solutions that cover both AI engagement and user experience.

Partnership Structure

The two companies will divide responsibilities as follows:
- Smart Style Complex will handle AI search optimization (LLMO), website design and development, and the implementation of digital marketing strategies.
- U'eyes Design will focus on expert evaluations based on human-centered design principles, user research, and improvements in UI/UX.

Service Offerings

The partnership will introduce several innovative service packages:
1. AI and Human-Friendly Website Diagnostics: A comprehensive evaluation package that measures citation performance in AI searches as well as expert analyses of the website's user experience.
2. Website Development with Embedded Diagnostics: Incorporating expert evaluation and impression scaling during the requirements definition phase to ensure existing site challenges are addressed effectively.
3. Ongoing Improvement Support: Utilizing impression scaling techniques for periodic assessments and iterative improvements.

Upcoming Webinar

As part of their first joint initiative, the companies will host a free webinar on September 16, 2026, titled "Evaluating Your Website Through AI and Human Perspectives: Are You Being Recognized Before You Disappear?" This online event aims to shed light on the emerging dual nature of site evaluation, featuring discussions on the necessity of adapting to both AI and human criteria.

Webinar details include:

• - Date: September 16, 2026
• - Time: 14:00 - 15:00 (JST)
• - Format: Online (Pre-registration required)

Participants will also have the option for a brief LLMO assessment consultation post-webinar, offering personalized feedback on their website’s optimization status.

A Commitment to Progress

As they move forward, both Smart Style Complex and U'eyes Design are committed to delivering valuable case studies showcasing their integrated approach. They anticipate expediting the development of new combined diagnostic menus, as well as organizing collaborative seminars and content releases focused on addressing challenges in digital engagement.

Executive Statements

Satoshi Sato, CEO of Smart Style Complex, voiced the growing demand for AI search optimization consultations within web production environments. He emphasized the significance of incorporating human-centered design insights from U'eyes to create proposals that satisfy both AI recognition and user understanding.

Tadahiko Kajikawa, CEO of U'eyes Design, remarked on the imperative for web content to be not just "chosen by AI" but also effectively communicated to human visitors, aligning with their dual-focused strategy of engagement and usability.
