Sakurasaku Marketing's New Era: AI-Powered Web Development
Sakurasaku Marketing, a leading digital marketing consultancy based in Shibuya, Tokyo, has officially launched its innovative web development initiative, set to commence in January 2026. This new service aims to reshape traditional notions of web creation by blending artificial intelligence (AI) with SEO expertise to provide a truly results-oriented approach.
Redefining Web Development
In a rapidly evolving digital landscape, simply creating content is no longer sufficient to achieve high rankings on search engines. The emergence of AI and changes in user behavior necessitate the integration of advanced features such as simulators and enhanced UI/UX to create next-gen content.
Unfortunately, conventional web development practices typically allocate the majority of budget to content creation, leaving little for ongoing operations and audience engagement after launch. Acknowledging this issue, Sakurasaku Marketing decided to enter the web development arena with a commitment to take full responsibility for both production and operations.
The team at Sakurasaku firmly believes that web development should not be viewed as an end goal but as a critical starting point for driving business success. Harnessing AI throughout the development process has allowed the firm to significantly reduce initial costs, redirecting resources toward the essential aspect of optimizing site performance post-launch.
Three Key Features of Sakurasaku's AI Web Development
1.
Expertly Designed Structures for Success:
SEO professionals at Sakurasaku take the helm in creating a site structure that excels not just in aesthetics but also meets the criteria of search engine requirements. With two decades of experience in SEO and content marketing, they design with the end goal in mind—ensuring that every element serves the purpose of maximizing audience engagement.
2.
Affordable, Fast, and High-Quality Deployment through AI:
The internal AI research and development team actively incorporates cutting-edge technologies into the coding and design phases. With a motto of “TT-AI (Thoroughly AI)”, Sakurasaku has dramatically slashed development times and costs. For example, in an internal project, a service website typically valued between ¥5 million to ¥10 million was completed in just one month with the assistance of only two engineers, thanks to the effective use of AI. They are now applying this success model to client projects, ensuring swift and low-cost delivery.
3.
Focus on Operations Beyond Development:
While most firms designate 90% of their budget to production and 10% to operations, Sakurasaku advocates a more balanced approach. By keeping production costs low, they allow for greater investment in ongoing operations, providing continuous support with SEO consulting, content creation, and maintenance, all aimed at ensuring successful outcomes.
Tailored Service Plans
To accommodate diverse needs and budgets, Sakurasaku offers several plan options:
- - AI Development (Up to ¥1 million): Efficiently build 5-10 page websites at low cost and rapid speed (approximately one month) utilizing AI-generated design samples.
