User Insight（AIO/LLMO対策）

User Insight is an all-in-one digital marketing tool from User Local Inc. (listed on the TSE Prime Market) that adds AIO/LLMO features on top of an access-analytics foundation. It covers everything from citation checks in ChatGPT and AI Overviews, to improvement recommendations, to post-visit CVR. Its LLMO Dashboard lists your and competitors' citation and coverage rates across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok, and Perplexity; instant citation checks confirm whether you're cited for a given prompt; AI-driven traffic analysis measures visits from each AI; AIO monitoring tracks citations in AI Overviews; and an AIO/LLM optimization report diagnoses AI-friendliness from a URL. It even generates llms.txt. Because it is built on analytics, you can see not just the number of citations but the quality of AI-referred visitor behavior; SEO and web-personalization features are also standard. The AIO/LLMO features carry no extra fee (pricing is PV-based, by quote). Used by 1,000+ organizations including Fujitsu and SUBARU.

Genview is a GEO (generative AI search optimization) platform built to help your brand be understood correctly and chosen by generative AI such as ChatGPT and Gemini.

Genview makes visible the gap between the ideal brand image you want to convey and what generative AI actually says, working end-to-end from measurement and diagnosis through to improvement proposals across three perspectives: brand perception, mentions and citations for important queries, and your whole website (structured data, llms.txt, and more). It goes beyond mere measurement to present concrete actions for improvement. Genview is operated by FID, Inc. (Shinjuku, Tokyo), which has provided CRM and marketing support for more than 15 years, and was officially released on August 1, 2026, with 30 companies participating as early adopters in its beta.

How the "Volume" and "Speed" of Research Change

AI can read through a large volume of industry reports and news articles and summarize them by topic
Comparing across multiple sources reduces the risk of relying too heavily on a single, potentially biased outlet
Tools that can accumulate and search past research can also serve as reusable internal knowledge

Points to Check When Choosing

Whether it clearly cites sources, making fact-checking easy
How frequently the information updates and what scope it covers (industry, region, etc.)
Whether it connects with external sources like paid databases
Whether the accuracy and reliability of the information hold up for management decisions
