Supporting Local Merchants: The Launch of 'ChizuDas'

On September 16, 2026, List Co., Ltd., headquartered in Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, officially launched 'ChizuDas', a new service aimed at helping local businesses enhance their visibility on Google Maps. This Google Map Optimization (MEO) service is tailored to support stores and facilities across the country in their quest for better customer engagement and increased foot traffic.

What is 'ChizuDas'?

'ChizuDas' is designed to facilitate a self-sufficient operation by businesses utilizing Google Maps. The service includes initial setup for Google Business Profiles, monitoring of search rankings, and monthly suggestions for improvement, allowing businesses to continuously manage their online presence.

Through a dedicated user page, businesses can monitor their search rankings, user interactions, and the status of applied improvements. This empowers them to engage in daily operations, such as uploading photos, posting updates, and responding to reviews.

To commemorate the official launch, List Co. is inviting the first 10 applicants to join a monitoring program, where selected businesses can benefit from the service at a reduced rate.

Supporting Business Growth through Visibility

When customers search for stores or facilities using Google Maps, they not only look for locations but also check operational hours, images, and reviews to compare options. Therefore, providing accurate and regularly updated information is crucial for businesses to connect effectively with local customers. This initiative follows List Co.'s previous efforts focused on recruitment solutions, now expanding into customer attraction through enhanced information dissemination.

As part of this expanded mission, 'ChizuDas' was developed to aid businesses in leveraging Google Maps for customer acquisition. The service not only assists in the initial setup but also documents changes in search rankings and provides monthly recommendations for improvement, enabling businesses to maintain an ongoing operation in their day-to-day tasks.

Key Features of 'ChizuDas'

'ChizuDas' offers various features designed to optimize and monitor Google Maps information:

1. Free Diagnostic Report: Businesses can access a free diagnostic report evaluating six critical areas of their Google Business Profile on a 100-point scale, including basic information, category alignment, descriptions, photographs, posting frequency, and response to reviews. Based on this evaluation, prioritized corrective actions are suggested.

2. Initial Setup and Preparedness: Upon subscribing to a paid plan, businesses can have their provided data structured regarding categories, hours of operation, and appropriate photographs. Additionally, operational starter kits including templates for responding to reviews and QR codes for posting reviews will be provided.

3. Dedicated User Page for Monitoring: Businesses can automatically record the search rankings of up to ten competitive keywords weekly. Profile metrics, including impressions, calls, and route searches, will be regularly tracked and updated, providing a comprehensive view of data on their dedicated user page, along with suggestions for improvement.

4. Monthly Improvement Reviews: Every month, businesses will receive a review reflecting their search rankings and profile indicators, along with recommendations for priority actions to be taken in their operations, allowing for an iterative improvement process.

5. Quarterly Regular Assessments: Throughout the contracted period, businesses will undergo re-evaluations every three months, based on the same criteria as the initial assessment, to track their improvement over time.

The Role of Businesses in This Partnership

'ChizuDas' ensures that businesses remain actively involved in their information dissemination. Local establishments have the unique capability to convey vital insights regarding their services, surroundings, and staff—elements that only insiders can communicate effectively. The service encourages businesses to manage their daily updates, such as adding photographs or updating operational changes, while List Co. focuses on the systematic setup and health check of their profiles.

By gradually entrusting businesses with the operational aspects while providing essential tools and metrics, 'ChizuDas' hopes to cultivate a generation of knowledgeable business representatives capable of independently maintaining their profiles in the future.

Pricing and the Monitoring Program

For businesses interested in 'ChizuDas', the standard monthly fee is set at ¥15,000 (excluding tax) per business profile. There are no setup costs involved. In celebration of the launch, List Co. is also offering an exclusive monitoring program for the first 10 applicants, allowing for the service to be accessed at a discounted price of ¥9,800 (excluding tax) for the first six months. Details for subscription and participation conditions are highlighted on the company's official website.

Looking Ahead: Enhancing Community Engagement

Through 'ChizuDas', List Co. aims to empower local businesses to effectively communicate their unique characteristics and services to the community. Initial feedback from participating businesses in the monitoring program will help refine the service and its offerings. The relationship between 'ChizuDas' and other List operations seeks to bridge the gap between job recruitment, customer attraction, and sustained engagement within the local marketplace, ultimately supporting the operational and managerial needs of local merchants.
