End-to-end support from strategy to operations
"Ads are running but profits are gone." "Super SALE prep is always last-minute chaos." "Rakuten SEO rankings won't budge." Rakuten Marketplace has its own unique winning patterns, entirely different from Amazon or your own e-commerce site. Meets Consulting is a team of professionals with over 200 e-commerce clients supported. Our consultants are deeply versed in Rakuten-specific RMS operations, RPP advertising, event promotions, and store design, providing end-to-end support from strategy development through execution and optimization.
Poor RPP ad ROI, no profit left
Not ranking in Rakuten search results, traffic is stagnant
Underperforming during Super SALE and Shopping Marathon events
Low product page conversion rate (CVR)
Looking at RMS data but unsure what to improve
Outdated store design that fails to convey your brand
Not making effective use of email newsletters or LINE
Lack of in-house Rakuten operations expertise
Hired another consultant but didn't see results
If any of these resonate, let's talk.
Get Free ConsultationRakuten Marketplace is a completely different platform from Amazon or your own e-commerce site. Strategies built around event promotion cycles, integrated RPP/TDA/CPA advertising, Rakuten-specific SEO logic, and RMS data interpretation -- Meets Consulting employs consultants who are deeply versed in these Rakuten-specific techniques.
Rather than looking at Rakuten in isolation, we design strategies that consider how to best position Rakuten within your overall e-commerce landscape.
Meets Consulting provides consulting not only for Rakuten but also for Amazon, Yahoo! Shopping, your own e-commerce site, and cross-border e-commerce.
We can scale successful Rakuten strategies to Amazon, or adapt keyword strategies that work on Amazon to Rakuten SEO. Our cross-marketplace knowledge enables us to uncover improvement opportunities that single-platform approaches miss.
Many consulting firms stop at advice. Meets Consulting is different.
Strategy development, page creation, ad design and management, SEO optimization, event promotion planning, data analysis, and implementation of improvement initiatives
Our consultants work alongside you hands-on throughout this entire process. We also address the common concern of "We don't have the internal resources to execute." When needed, we can coordinate with our EC operations team.
Drawing on insights from supporting over 200 clients, Meets Consulting developed the proprietary "7 Barriers to EC Growth" framework.
We diagnose which barrier your Rakuten business is hitting and design the optimal solution for each one. By structurally identifying "why revenue isn't growing," we deliver support that addresses root causes rather than applying ad-hoc fixes.
Meets Consulting is a rare firm that offers both e-commerce consulting and management consulting.
"Rakuten revenue is growing, but ad spend and labor costs are eroding profit." "Inventory allocation between Rakuten and Amazon isn't optimized." We can address challenges like these through P&L optimization across your entire e-commerce business, as well as improvements to organizational structure and operational processes. We don't just grow revenue -- we build businesses that retain profit.
We provide comprehensive support for every initiative needed to drive results on Rakuten, from strategic planning to operational improvement.
We optimize product names, catchcopy, product descriptions, directory IDs, and tag IDs based on Rakuten's search algorithm. Maximize organic search traffic and build a revenue foundation that reduces ad dependency.
We manage RPP (search-linked) ads, TDA (targeting display) ads, and Coupon Advance ads as a unified portfolio. We design advertising strategies that maximize ROAS (Return on Ad Spend) while preserving profit.
Unlike Amazon, Rakuten Marketplace offers high design flexibility for store pages. We use this to create pages that express your brand identity while driving higher conversion rates (CVR).
We develop promotional plans aligned with events like Rakuten Super SALE, Shopping Marathon, and Grand Thanks Festival to maximize revenue impact. End-to-end support from pre-event preparation through post-event follow-up.
On Rakuten, it's not just about acquiring new customers -- nurturing repeat buyers is critical to profitability. We combine R-Mail (newsletters), LINE Official Account, and Rakuten Points strategies to maximize LTV (Customer Lifetime Value).
We dig deep into RMS data to deliver monthly analysis reports at a level suitable for executive decision-making. We surface insights that RMS alone can't reveal and support data-driven decisions.
We listen to your current challenges, goals, and product characteristics. We also conduct a quick RMS diagnostic.
We analyze your RMS data to identify issues and opportunities. We deliver a proposal outlining specific initiatives and expected outcomes.
We begin executing agreed-upon initiatives in priority order. A dedicated consultant is assigned, and weekly/monthly communication cadences are established.
Monthly review meetings to assess results and plan the next month's action items. Progress is tracked using the "7 Barriers to EC Growth" framework.
Once results stabilize, we help build internal capabilities for self-management. We also propose expansion to Amazon, Yahoo!, cross-border e-commerce, or profit optimization consulting.

We provide execution-level support from strategy development through ad management, page creation, and data analysis, and can also optimize your entire e-commerce business including Amazon and your own site -- a key differentiator.
