AI Hack Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Daisuke Nakamichi; hereinafter “AI Hack”) is pleased to announce the launch of a strategic partnership with Target Media Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Masaomi Satake; hereinafter “Target Media”), a company specializing in B2B marketing support. Through this partnership, AI Hack’s proprietary AIO (AI Optimization) tools and expertise will be combined with Target Media’s extensive B2B marketing know-how to help enterprises maximize their visibility across AI-powered search engines and related platforms.
Background
In recent years, users have been rapidly shifting from traditional search engines to AI-powered search experiences driven by generative AI. As a result, digital marketing strategies are evolving beyond conventional search rankings (SEO) to include AI Optimization (AIO), the practice of monitoring and optimizing how brands appear within AI-generated responses. This includes whether a company is mentioned by name, whether its website is cited as a source, and whether the information presented is accurate and positive.
However, AI-generated responses are dynamic and complex, making it difficult for companies to quantitatively assess how they are being referenced and represented.
Initiatives Under the Partnership
Through this partnership, the two companies will jointly provide the following services, offering enterprises a one-stop solution for AIO optimization.
Quantifying AI Visibility
Using the AIO tool “AI Hack,” brand presence across major AI platforms, including ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overview, and Perplexity, is measured using five proprietary metrics to enable companies to clearly understand their current AI visibility and positioning.
Optimizing Content for AI Selection
Drawing on Target Media’s expertise in B2B marketing, content is restructured and optimized in alignment with how AI systems collect, interpret, and organize data. Strengthening content with verifiable data and structured expert insights ensures client websites are positioned as highly trusted sources for AI-generated responses.
Enhancing AI Recommendations
In product and service comparison scenarios, targeted improvements will be implemented to ensure client brands are featured ahead of competitors. By analyzing the criteria AI systems use to evaluate information, structure and content will be enhanced to improve preferential recommendations over competitors.
