Masa's MEO Studio was established in 2019 in Den-en-chofu, Ota-ku, by a team with backgrounds in local search and digital advertising. We noticed that most small businesses in the Tokyo area had unclaimed or poorly optimized Google Business Profiles — and were losing local customers to competitors who had done the basic work of being findable.
We built Masa's MEO Studio around one question: what does it take for a local business to show up where customers are actually searching? The answer turned out to be less complicated than most agencies suggest. It is consistent, documented work: the right categories, the right citations, a steady flow of genuine reviews, and content that is actually local.
Four years later we have worked with more than 80 retailers, clinics, salons, and service businesses across the 23 wards. We have stayed small on purpose. Every client works directly with the same team member throughout their engagement — not a rotating cast of account managers.
