AI-Driven Research on Broker Selection Visibility

Overview
In September 2026, TechSuite Inc., headquartered in Tokyo, launched a groundbreaking study through its AI Search Partners service. This program focuses on enhancing visibility in broker selection with the aid of AI search optimization technologies (LLMO/AIO/GEO/AEO). The research aimed to observe how AI systems respond to inquiries regarding stock investments and the selection of brokers in Japan.

Purpose of the Research
The actions of asking an AI before deciding on a securities account opening are becoming increasingly common. However, the processes used by AI to recommend certain firms and the rationale behind those suggestions lacked transparency until now. This study did not rank specific brokerages; instead, it gathered and analyzed the responses of seven different AI platforms to examine the content of their answers.

Key Findings from the Investigation
1. Predominance of Online Brokers:
The brokers mentioned by AI systems predominantly fell within the category of online securities, with responses from just 14 firms making up a significant portion of all AI references. Notably, the top three companies accounted for around 66% of all mentions, while the top five made up about 87%.

2. Limited Visibility for Traditional Brokerages:
Responses regarding full-service brokerages were surprisingly scarce. Each established name received less than 10% visibility in answers, a clear indication that online brokers are favored by AI.

3. Stability in Responses Across Varied Questions:
Regardless of the nature of the inquiry—be it about NISA, iDeCo, or U.S. stocks—the same leading online brokerages were likely to appear in the top responses.

4. Reliance on Third-Party Media:
An impressive 93% of the data sources cited by AI platforms were third-party media outlets. In contrast, only about 4% came from official brokerage websites. This suggests that the way various brokers are featured in specific investment media has a substantial impact on how they are perceived and mentioned by AI.
