Osaka web producer for clinics and dental practices, with SEO, MEO and listing ads
About Method Innovation
Method Innovation (株式会社Method innovation) is an Osaka company that builds and runs websites for medical clinics and dental practices. It was incorporated on 1 November 2016 with 10 million yen in capital and is based in the BADGE Nagahori Building in Shinmachi, Nishi-ku. Taichi Shimizu is representative director. Two group companies cover other regions: Dr. Bridge in Shibuya, Tokyo, which focuses on Kanto, and MIRAIZU in Sapporo. Its business lines are patient acquisition support, media operation and advertising agency work.
Their approach rests on six methods: keeping up with Google's guidance on expertise, authority and trust; studying each clinic's treatments; mapping how patients search by area, specialty, condition and symptom; out-informing nearby competitors; limiting the doctor's time to a 90 to 120 minute photo shoot and three to four hours of content review; and continuing improvement after launch. For dental sites they recommend one page per treatment rather than a single list, and building specialty sections as subdirectories of the main domain rather than separate sites. They pair SEO with listing ads to reach keywords organic pages cannot cover quickly, and offer MEO for Google Maps plus an LLMO service that adds doctor profiles, structured data, Q&A pages and an llms.txt file for AI answers.
A dental build takes at least two to three months over eleven steps, from free consultation and site diagnosis through a Zoom proposal, professional photography, original design and coding with the old site kept live, to post-launch analytics and search tuning. The basic plan costs 1,210,000 yen including tax for up to 15 pages, with a 330,000 yen fee for AI measures, extra pages at 27,500 to 33,000 yen and maintenance at 7,700 yen a month on a one-year contract. Landing pages start at 550,000 yen. Google rankings can take three to six months.
The company limits clients to one clinic per specialty per station, with exceptions at large terminals such as Umeda, Shinsaibashi, Tennoji, Kobe and Kyoto. That gives a practice some protection against the agency building a site for a nearby rival.
Dental clients include Kitamichi Dental Clinic, Komuro Dental and Orthodontic Clinic at Abeno Harukas, Nishimoto Dental Clinic, Miyake Dental Clinic, Kusube Dental, Yamashita Dental Clinic, Ohisama Dental and Kids Dental, and Hiroshima Suto Dental and Periodontal Clinic, and Kokura Anzai Dental and Periodontal Clinic appears in its portfolio. Komuro Dental's site traffic more than tripled after renewal, and access rose at least 1.5 times on every site they built.
The company has built more than 100 sites (some pages say about 500 clinic sites), with over 1,000 medical sites across the group. It has no third-party ratings or awards. They work in Japanese, by phone on weekdays and through Zoom or in-person meetings.
