Fukuoka web studio pairing site builds with monthly MEO and SEO upkeep
About SINCE
SINCE Inc. (Shinsu Kabushiki Kaisha) is a small website production company in Otemon, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City. Their office is in the Higashi Building in Otemon 3-chome, a short walk from Exit 4 of Ohori Park Station on the subway Airport Line. The company was incorporated on 1 December 2016, and it has five staff including part-timers. They aim to be a web strategy partner for small and mid-sized Fukuoka businesses.
Representative director Daisuke Koshimizu acts as producer and handles direction, marketing and management. Mitsuhiko Ashikari is director and front-end developer, and Kaede Chitosebaru is designer. They have a track record from 2011 and more than 500 website projects, one of them for a listed company. That 2011 start is earlier than the 2016 incorporation of the company.
Search work is built into each site rather than sold as a separate campaign. Every build comes with responsive layouts, on-page SEO, W3C-compliant code, and setup of Google Analytics and Google Search Console. After launch, monthly operation plans add more. The Basic plan at 30,000 yen a month includes an analytics dashboard and MEO, the Japanese term for map and Google Business Profile optimization. The Master plan at 50,000 yen adds SEO analysis reports, written proposals and regular meetings. They also manage listing ads, plan marketing strategy, shoot photos and video, and build landing pages.
Prices are published. The Entry plan has no setup fee and starts at 8,000 yen a month for a six-page semi-template site, built in about two months. Original designs cost 500,000 to 900,000 yen (Basic), 1,000,000 to 1,400,000 yen (Master) and from 1,500,000 yen (Premium), with build times of three months or more. Online stores start at 300,000 yen on Shopify, and they also build on Rakuten, Yahoo! Shopping, Color Me Shop, MakeShop and EC-CUBE.
Their portfolio leans toward Fukuoka firms in construction, real estate and services, including Fukunan Juken, Stock Design Lab, Fujii Building and Fukuoka Shibaura Electronics. Their portfolio has a hospitals and clinics category, but no dental project. They appear in a Hikaku Biz roundup of web firms for bone-setting clinics.
For a dental practice, SINCE suits a single-site clinic in the Fukuoka area that wants a tidy, mobile-ready website and a fixed monthly fee for map listing and on-site SEO care. Practices that need dental-specific content, review campaigns or multi-location work should ask them directly about scope, since these are not part of their published services.
