Kuchikomi Mission's Premium Plan Gets an Upgrade

The innovative company Giv-ning, headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo, is set to enhance its Google Maps review support tool, Kuchikomi Mission, starting April 1, 2026. The Premium Plan will be equipped with new AI functionalities that streamline review responses and provide detailed MEO (Map Engine Optimization) analysis, further empowering businesses to attract customers effectively.

Background of the New Features

Previously, the Premium Plan focused on maximizing review acquisition and operational efficiencies with tools such as guided banners and custom POP creation. With this latest update, Giv-ning aims to connect collected reviews more effectively to in-store customer acquisition through three enhanced features: managing store information, comparative analysis with competitors, and operational improvement with information dissemination.

Three Enhanced Features in the Premium Plan

ACTION 01: Efficient Store Information Management

The management screen of Kuchikomi Mission now allows users to update their Google Business Profile (GBP) efficiently.

• - Review Management and Responses: The AI will automatically generate suitable reply texts based on the content of posted reviews, classifying them into positive and negative categories. This reduces the workload on staff while contributing to increased customer satisfaction.

• - GBP Management (Profile, Menu, Photos): Users can intuitively update essential details such as business hours, service offerings, menu items, prices, and photos directly from the management interface, ensuring that the information displayed on Google Maps is always current and of high quality.

ACTION 02: Data-Driven Competitor Comparison Analysis

Kuchikomi Mission will provide tools for businesses to understand their standing on Google Maps, allowing for evidence-based MEO strategies.

• - Ranking Check Function: The system automatically measures and visualizes your search rankings based on specified keywords, regions, and time periods. It compares rankings with registered competitors (up to three businesses) and supports multilingual rankings for inbound marketing.

• - Incoming Keyword Function: Users can visualize display counts and rankings for keywords that customers actually searched for, allowing for the discovery of new, previously overlooked keywords for customer attraction as well as setting priorities for MEO initiatives.

• - MEO Performance Function: This feature enables businesses to monitor various performance indicators, such as view counts, user actions (like website visits, route searches, and phone inquiries), and review counts/ratings. Users can analyze trends from annual data, supporting continuous improvement initiatives.

ACTION 03: AI for Operational Improvements and Communications

Incorporating the latest AI technologies, businesses can significantly reduce the workload involved in daily review management while ensuring effective communication with customers.

• - AI Effectiveness Prediction and Review Acquisition Simulation: AI assesses necessary review counts to reach target overall ratings compared to competitor stores. It provides simulations of anticipated customer visit rates and inquiry rates upon accomplishment of those targets, assisting staff in goal setting and motivation.

• - AI Review Analysis Report: Here, AI evaluates reviews from multiple perspectives, making it clear what the business excels at and where improvements are needed. This report is grounded in objective data and directly informs service enhancements and customer attraction strategies.

• - MEO Diagnostic Report: AI offers a comprehensive evaluation of the Google Business Profile settings, highlighting current rating levels and improvement points across various aspects, such as profile information, photos, and recent posts, helping guide optimal MEO strategies.

• - Latest Information Posting Function: Users can post event announcements or campaign notifications directly to Google Maps from the management interface, facilitating more efficient MEO operations and preventing missed postings.

The aforementioned features are set to roll out starting May 1, gradually becoming available.
