IGNITE has members from countries all around the world, including the United States, Europe, and Asia. When scaling in the global market, a diverse range of ideas, skills, and experiences can be highly effective.

We can propose various options that consider customer acquisition during the design phase. We will design the optimal strategy and suggest the best promotional measures tailored to your budget.

Absolutely. We also offer a website analysis plan for such cases. Please contact us for more information.

At IGNITE, we focus on providing high-quality pages exclusively in English, the global language. For example, a website supporting 20 languages would be meaningless if the content is not actually being viewed by audiences. By creating a homepage that is guaranteed to be read, we aim to maximize the number of inquiries. (Chinese and Korean are available as options.)

Actually, now is the perfect opportunity to do so. Since other companies are not focusing on websites marketed to foreign consumers, by building and effectively managing a website when other manufacturers are not putting in much effort, there is a strong potential for positive results. A good place to start is establishing a foundation to release information through your website and consider long-term operations from a mid-to-long-term perspective.

We primarily focus on English-speaking countries such as the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Australia. Additionally, we can also accommodate Southeast Asian countries like Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Thailand, where English is used regularly, as well as various European countries.

Essentially, we specialize in English-speaking regions.

Furthermore, we offer high-quality translation and localization by both Japanese and native speakers, producing content optimized for the target market. We also provide comprehensive support for SEO and marketing strategies, ensuring quick and effective services.

We accommodate various types of content on platforms such as Instagram, X (Twitter), Facebook, and LinkedIn.

While it is difficult to determine without actual implementation, there is a strong possibility of achieving high rankings by effectively practicing SEO measures.

IGNITE's translation services achieve high-quality localization through thorough checking and revision by native translators, providing the most suitable expressions by making the most of our deep understanding of local culture and language. Additionally, we provide comprehensive support not only for translation but also for SEO measures, design and layout adjustments, as well as proofreading and editing, allowing you to complete all requests with a single company. We also handle specialized translations for specific industries, and contribute to the achievement of our clients' business goals.

Of course. If you have any requests for revisions after delivery, we will do our best to accommodate them.

We offer three plans: Standard, Premium and Enterprise. Translation costs vary depending on the number of characters, quality and purpose of the content. Please feel free to contact us for a quote if you are interested in the Enterprise plan.

First, we perform machine translation, followed by translation by a native speaker of the language. After that, we carry out localization and conduct two rounds of corrections.

The turnaround time depends on the content and volume of the translation. Please feel free to contact us for more details.

Through a refined localization, users can receive content in line with their culture and language, and feel a sense of closeness to the business and the brand. Without proper localization, some of the information you release may be difficult for locals to understand, thereby potentially missing out on international customers and business opportunities.

Localization refers to the process of translating a product or service into a foreign language, as well as making adjustments to suit the culture and customs of the target country, in order to more effectively reach customers globally. Specifically, when selling a product in a different country's market, the product's packaging design and advertising messages should be tailored to suit the culture and customs of that country. For example, Japanese consumers prefer maximalist designs with lots of information, while consumers in Western countries such as the U.S. prefer simpler designs. To successfully localize your business, it is essential to understand your target region and users. Utilizing translators who are familiar with the language and culture of a particular region can help your business with this adjustment.

Certainly.

While we are unable to translate specialized texts filled with technical terms, such as medical-related materials, we can generally handle standard documents and press releases intended for international audiences.

For specialized documents, we may be able to accommodate requests depending on the pricing, so please feel free to contact us first.

This is actually a common misunderstanding. Inaccurate translations can lead to misunderstandings among viewers.

To gain recognition for YouTube videos overseas, conveying your message with accurate expressions is a fundamental principle.

Sure, adding English randomly to video titles can sometimes result in appearing in search results, and some people have increased their view counts using this method.

However, this approach can lead to misunderstandings and significantly diminish the video's brand value.

While video view counts are important, what matters even more is the value and quality of the video.

For example, consider a foreign video that has a Japanese title. Have you ever watched it thinking it was a Japanese-compatible video, only to realize there were no Japanese subtitles and you couldn't understand the content?

International users may have similar experiences.

YouTube's management tracks how long users watch and whether they like the videos enough to subscribe to the channel.

Therefore, it is crucial to use English correctly.

Yes, of course.

We will translate the Japanese content on the website into English, and also handle localization and the creation of catchphrases. Keyword research is included with a focus on SEO measures.

It is essential to determine whether there is demand and to engage a company that is well-versed in international marketing.

Expanding international can yield significant returns, but it also comes with risks. Therefore, we recommend starting small. Nowadays, due to the widespread use of the internet, it is possible to gauge demand without establishing a local entity. We believe that the best approach is to first develop business online and assess demand before proceeding with international expansion.

Additionally, it is crucial to ensure that the company has expertise in international marketing. While there are many companies that can handle production or English translation, there are still relatively few that specialize in overseas marketing. To establish effective marketing strategies based on accurate insights, it is important to work with a company that focuses on international marketing.

We also provide a international talent employment service. If you are interested, please feel free to contact us for details.
