SEO database media site for household service providers nationwide

What is for sale

This is an SEO and database-driven web media business that lets consumers search and compare local service providers across Japan for household troubles such as junk removal, plumbing, locksmiths, pest control, glass repair, roof leaks and water heaters. It covers over 11,000 companies and more than 1,800 municipalities, with over 62,000 pages indexed. The owner runs multiple web media properties and is selling this one to focus resources on other businesses, stating it is not being sold due to any major problem.

This is an asset sale, so the buyer acquires the website, domain and database assets only, not a company, and must set up their own ASP affiliate accounts and contracts.

What is included

• Domain
• WordPress site data and content
• Nationwide service provider database
• Regional (prefecture/municipality) database
• Service and issue-type database
• Inquiry/quote request form and PR listing feature
• Operations manual

Strengths (as the seller states them)

• Nationwide database covering over 11,000 companies and 1,800+ municipalities
• Over 62,000 pages detected in Google Search Console sitemap, a large SEO asset
• Covers multiple service categories beyond junk removal, including plumbing, pest control, locksmiths and water heaters
• Monetises via ASP affiliate commissions, lead referrals and sponsor PR listings, not just one revenue stream

Wrinkles a careful buyer would ask about

• ASP affiliate accounts are tied to the seller personally and are not transferred; buyer must register their own ASP accounts and swap out affiliate links
• The site launched in 2026 and has only a short operating history, with revenue track record limited to three consecutive months (August, September, October 2026)
• Financial figures are shown only as broad ranges (revenue and profit each 0 to 5 million yen), not exact figures
• Net assets are not disclosed publicly and require member registration to view
• Transfer of some external service accounts may be restricted by those services' own rules, so buyers should confirm this during negotiation

Paying for it

If you stay overseas. No Japanese bank will lend to a new company whose director lives abroad. The realistic stack is your own cash plus asking the owner to take part of the price over 2 to 3 years. That one question is in every Deal Pack.

If you move to Japan. On a visa that lets you run a business, Japan Finance Corporation lends up to ¥72M at about 1 to 2 percent for exactly this. Once you have a Japanese company, the government pays two-thirds of due diligence and registered-broker costs, up to about ¥8M (round 16 closes 6 Nov 2026). You start a bank relationship from zero.

What this listing says. The listing mentions no debts, loans or personal guarantees transferring with the business; the main payment-related point is that ASP affiliate accounts stay with the seller and are excluded from the sale, so the buyer must re-register and replace affiliate links themselves, and a broker success fee is likely but not stated in the text.
