Introduction
Chousei Sangyo Co., Ltd. has recently shared a notable case study on how they successfully leveraged the industrial product search service, Metoree, to enhance their SEO strategies and significantly increase the number of inquiries they receive. Managed by ZAZA Corp., Metoree operates as a comprehensive resource for industrial products, serving as a bridge between manufacturers and potential customers.
Based in Higashi-Osaka, Chousei Sangyo specializes in the design and manufacturing of flexible tubes utilized in piping equipment for vibration absorption, displacement absorption, and position adjustment across various industries.
The Background and Initial Challenges
Historically, Chousei Sangyo has thrived on its longstanding relationships with existing customers and referrals while maintaining a stable business model. However, they faced considerable challenges with their online presence and lead generation. With no dedicated personnel for SEO and limited time allocated to web marketing, the company found that their website's search ranking had drastically declined, resulting in a significant drop in traffic.
This decline manifested in a lack of inquiries through their website, dwindling to as low as zero in some months. The situation was compounded when they noticed that competitors were appearing higher on Google searches via Metoree, which highlighted a growing threat to their online visibility and brand recognition. This alarming realization prompted the company to consider adopting Metoree as part of their digital strategy.
Implementation and Results
The introduction of Metoree has yielded impressive results for Chousei Sangyo:
- - Inquiries through the company website jumped from virtually none to approximately ten per month.
- - They expanded their clientele by attracting new industry sectors.
- - Direct transactions with user companies increased significantly, eliminating the need to go through intermediaries, which accelerated communication and project progression.
- - Existing clients expressed appreciation by pointing out how Chousei Sangyo was now prominently displayed in search results, which effectively boosted their credibility in the market.

Comments from Chousei Sangyo
According to Mr. Kakutani, the Sales Manager at Chousei Sangyo:
"Since the implementation of Metoree, the number of inquiries through our website has had a remarkable increase. It was not uncommon to have zero inquiries in previous months, but now we reliably receive around ten. Metoree effectively enhances customer traffic while requiring minimal setup and maintenance. Additionally, their regular follow-ups and reporting help us stay informed about our online performance. I believe it is an extremely effective option for companies that struggle to address their SEO needs, seek to acquire new customers, or aim to enhance awareness of their brand."
