We understand the challenges they face in a competitive market, especially when targeting foreign tourists. That's why we offer comprehensive support beyond website development and SEO.
One of the key ways we drive growth for our clients is through our expert assistance in registration with Google Business Profile. By ensuring that our clients' businesses are listed accurately and prominently on Google Maps and search results, we enhance their online presence and make it easier for potential customers to find them. This vital step helps build credibility and instills trust in the minds of travelers, ultimately leading to increased footfall and revenue.

That's why we provide ongoing website management and maintenance services.

Additionally, we go the extra mile by offering tailored SEO services that align with the unique needs of each business. Through keyword research, content optimization, and link building strategies, we ensure that our clients' websites rank higher in search engine results, attracting more organic traffic and potential customers. Our SEO expertise helps businesses stay ahead of the competition and capture the attention of foreign tourists planning their trips to Japan.
The Challenge: Reaching Foreign Audiences
One of the biggest challenges faced by Japanese small businesses in the tourism industry is effectively reaching and engaging foreign audiences. While these businesses offer exceptional services and unique experiences, language barriers and cultural differences can create obstacles in attracting and connecting with potential customers from overseas.
For many local businesses, creating a website in both Japanese and English is a daunting task. It requires not only translation but also an understanding of how to tailor the content to resonate with international visitors. Additionally, optimizing the website for search engines to ensure visibility among foreign tourists is crucial for success.
Moreover, gaining exposure on popular international travel platforms like Tripadvisor and reaching out to travel influencers can significantly enhance the visibility and reputation of Japanese small businesses. However, navigating the intricacies of these platforms and effectively leveraging them for promotional purposes can be a complex and time-consuming endeavor.
At KeyQ, we recognized these challenges and set out to provide a comprehensive solution that empowers Japanese small businesses to overcome these hurdles and connect with foreign tourists. Our mission is to bridge the gap and create a seamless experience for businesses and visitors alike.

Background
I founded KeyQ in March of 2020 with the vision of helping businesses achieve the next level of success through delivering innovative and meaningful cloud solutions. Since its inception, I have worked with several businesses, non-profit organizations, and universities to design and build cloud applications that have helped streamline their business processes and reduce costs.
Prior to KeyQ, I was a medical researcher at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) in the Division of Pulmonary, Allergy, and Critical Care Medicine. UAB is also where I worked on my doctoral thesis under the mentorship of Dr. Jessy Deshane and Dr. Victor Thannickal. During my doctoral work at UAB I was exposed to the “omics” and big data, which has influenced my career choice to develop data-driven analytics platforms in the cloud.
I also have to give a big shoutout to my undergraduate education at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), where I majored in biochemistry. WPI’s motto is “Lehr und Kunst,” which roughly translates to “Theory and Practice” or “Learning and Skilled Art.” WPI truly cherishes and upholds this pedagogy, which can be seen by the teaching styles and class sizes. The learning experience I had at WPI is unique and has shaped me to be who I am, being able to learn, practice and apply.
Personal Interests
I love to learn innovative technologies and try new things. I have a broad area of interests that include serverless architectures, machine learning, artificial intelligence, bioinformatics, medical informatics, and financial technology. I am also working towards my CFA level 1 exam for 2021. Other interests and hobbies include traveling, rock climbing, rappelling, caving, camping and gardening!
