Why conduct PPC keyword research for Yahoo Japan?

Despite failing to make a serious dint in the search market in many countries, Yahoo is successful in Japan, where it is the most popular website in the country. Therefore, incorporating Yahoo into your paid strategy for this market is essential.

It is essential that keyword research is conducted from scratch by a Japanese native when you are targeting the Japanese market. This is because keywords cannot simply be translated, but instead are the natural product of the country’s unique culture and language. Researching keywords from scratch ensures that you take into account any Japanese colloquialisms, dialects and slang terms used by your target audience. Understanding what keywords they search for will help you to structure your PPC campaign to reach relevant users and plan your budget effectively.

With this service, a native Japanese specialist will research and compile a list of relevant and quality keywords that your target audience actually searches for on Yahoo, including a back translation into English.

We will send you the Japanese keyword list, including English translations, estimated impressions and cost-per-click data.

How it works

The process begins with you completing a briefing questionnaire to clarify your Yahoo PPC ad objectives. This briefing will be visible to all the team members involved with delivering the service and is the foundation for all our quality checks.

A native Japanese specialist will conduct thorough research into relevant Japanese keywords that your target audience is searching for on Yahoo and will compile these (and an English back translation) into a list.

This keyword research will be delivered to you in an Excel format.
