SERVICES / SUBSIDY PACKAGE SUBSIDY LP & AUTOMATION

01 / PACKAGE

Proactive Lead Generation
and Workflow Automation
with the Sustainability Subsidy.

Sustainability Subsidy Package: "Lead Generation Landing Page + Inquiry Automation" — ¥450,000 (¥495,000 incl. tax).

Upon subsidy approval with the standard 2/3 subsidy rate, your estimated self-burden is approximately ¥150,000 excl. tax (*Approval is subject to official screening and not guaranteed. Because subsidy funds are disbursed retroactively, an initial payment of ¥495,000 incl. tax is required upon project contracting).

For small business operators aiming for the 20th Application Round (Deadline: December 15).

※Under subsidy guidelines, website-related expenses cannot be applied for alone. Contracts and project work entered into before the official grant decision (交付決定) are strictly ineligible for subsidy funding.

  • 01

    Wanting to develop new sales channels, but finding the budget for a dedicated landing page prohibitive.

    Seeking to eliminate manual inquiry responses and customer data entry to focus on core operations.

03 / WHAT WE PROVIDE

What DigitalCraft Delivers

In our ¥450,000 (tax excl.) package, we package a high-impact customer acquisition page for your new offering together with an automated workflow system to eliminate post-inquiry manual work. Both items are booked under "Website-Related Expenses" (ウェブサイト関連費).

Overview of lead generation LP and inquiry automation package components
Visual representation.

① Lead Generation LP (Dedicated Page)

We create a focused landing page dedicated to launching a single new product or service.

What is Included
  • Structural strategy (clarifying audience, value proposition, and urgency)
  • Copywriting assistance (proposing narrative flow and headings based on interviews)
  • Responsive design and coding (optimized for mobile)
  • Inquiry and registration forms
  • Foundation SEO setup, GA4, and Google Search Console integration
  • Deployment and CMS operation walkthrough

※General corporate overviews or recruitment-only pages tend to be rejected under subsidy guidelines; hence we focus strictly on new product/service sales channels.

② Inquiry Automation (Operational Efficiency)

A seamless workflow that organizes incoming inquiries without manual intervention. We customize from the following menu based on your operations:

Selectable Menu
  1. 1
    Instant Alerts — Sends instant summary notifications to Email, Slack, or LINE, eliminating missed leads and delayed responses.
  2. 2
    Automated CRM / Ledger Sync — Automatically logs inquiries into Google Sheets or HubSpot CRM, eliminating manual copy-pasting.
  3. 3
    Automated Estimates — Sends automated estimate breakdowns based on user input criteria.
  4. 4
    Meeting Scheduling — Integrates with Google Calendar to let qualified leads schedule consultations during available slots.

※The exact combination and scope are finalized in your technical specification document following our free consultation.

OPTION

③ Web Advertising Management Option (Public Relations Expenses / 広報費)

Driving targeted traffic to your new LP. Under subsidy rules, Web/SNS ad management falls under "Public Relations Expenses" (広報費), separate from website production (ウェブサイト関連費). Bundling this with our package ensures you have the required non-web expense category covered by a single trusted partner.

What is Included
  • Ad campaign architecture (target audiences, keywords, geo-targeting)
  • Ad copy and banner asset creation (aligned with LP messaging)
  • Campaign setup across Google Ads, Instagram, and Facebook
  • Approx. 3 months of campaign optimization with monthly reporting
  • Proof-of-performance screenshots and metrics delivery required for subsidy reporting
Pricing
  • DigitalCraft Management & Creative Fee: ¥200,000 excl. tax (approx. 3 months)
  • Ad Spend: From ¥100,000 (paid directly to Google / Meta via your own ad accounts)
Package ¥450,000 ＋ Option ¥200,000 ＋ Ad Spend ¥100,000 ＝ Total Project Cost ¥750,000
Subsidy Amount: ¥500,000 (Standard Track Cap) / Self-Burden: ¥250,000

※Excl. tax, assuming grant approval; disbursed retroactively.

※Advertising campaigns must run and conclude within the approved grant project period following the grant decision. Campaigns outside this window are ineligible.

※Combining the package and option under a single contract exceeding ¥500,000 incl. tax requires competitive bids (2+ vendors). Verify contracting structures with your local Chamber of Commerce.

04 / PRICE & SUBSIDY

Estimated Out-of-Pocket Cost: Approx. ¥150,000 (Excl. Tax).

Priced to maximize the subsidy limit under the standard track (disbursed retroactively upon grant approval). Package price: ¥450,000 (¥495,000 incl. tax). With the 2/3 subsidy rate, subsidy amount is ¥300,000, bringing estimated out-of-pocket cost to ¥150,000 excl. tax (*Screening applies; approval is not guaranteed. Because subsidy is disbursed after completion, initial payment of ¥495,000 incl. tax is required upon contracting).

Package Price
¥450K
(Excl. tax / ¥495K incl. tax)
Subsidy (2/3 rate)
¥300K
(Website expenses limit)
Estimated Out-of-Pocket
¥150K
(Excl. tax / paid retroactively)

When combined with the Web Advertising Option: Total project ¥750,000 → Subsidy ¥500,000 → Out-of-pocket ¥250,000 (excl. tax, subject to approval, disbursed retroactively).

Pricing Rationale

This package is precisely calibrated to utilize the maximum ¥300,000 subsidy ceiling for website-related expenses. At ¥495,000 incl. tax, it remains under the ¥500,000 threshold that triggers mandatory competitive quotes from two or more vendors, streamlining preparation. Furthermore, staying below ¥500,000 excl. tax exempts deliverables from asset disposal restriction covenants.

Estimate Total Project Budget and Subsidy Amount

The Sustainability Subsidy cannot be applied for with "Website-Related Expenses" alone. You must combine DigitalCraft's package with other eligible sales expansion expenses (e.g. flyers, advertising, exhibition booths). Calculate your total estimated subsidy below.

※Calculation based on standard track, tax excl. This does not guarantee grant approval or specific amounts. Individual expense categories have specific sub-caps (such as ¥300,000 max subsidy on PR expenses).

※Applications must combine website costs with other expense categories such as public relations (flyers, etc., up to ¥300K subsidy), exhibition fees, or machinery.
※Special tracks (wage increase, invoice transition, etc.) exist with higher caps, but this package is designed around the universal standard track. Consult your local Chamber of Commerce for special track qualification details.

09 / FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions regarding the subsidy and our implementation package.

Q. Can you write our subsidy application on our behalf?

A. Under Japan's Administrative Scrivener Act (行政書士法), we do not draft application forms. We support your submission by providing technical specifications, workflow designs, and compliant quotations adhering to subsidy guidelines.

Q. Is grant approval guaranteed?

A. No. Applications are evaluated through competitive government screening; approval is not guaranteed.

Q. Can we apply with this package alone?

A. No. Under subsidy rules, applications consisting solely of "Website-Related Expenses" are strictly prohibited. You must combine this package with other eligible categories such as advertising, flyer distribution, or machinery.

Q. Can DigitalCraft handle non-website expenses as well?

A. Yes. We offer a Web Advertising Management Option (¥200,000 excl. tax, ~3 months management) classified under "Public Relations Expenses" (広報費). Ad spend (¥100,000+) is paid directly to Google/Meta via your own accounts.

Q. Do we need to disclose that DigitalCraft provided specifications and quotations?

A. Under application rules, if you received paid or free advice in drafting business plans, you must list the assisting party in Form 2. While our specifications and quotes are vendor proposals rather than management consulting, confirm disclosure requirements with your local Chamber.

Q. When is the subsidy paid out?

A. Subsidies are disbursed retroactively. Following grant approval, you execute the contract, complete production, make payment, submit the completion report, and receive the subsidy payout after final audit.

Q. Can we sign contracts and begin immediately?

A. No. Expenses contracted, ordered, or paid prior to the official grant decision (交付決定) are strictly ineligible. You must await the grant decision notice.

Q. Can we use this package to renew our general corporate website?

A. General corporate overviews or recruitment sites tend to be rejected as they do not meet the "sales channel expansion" criteria. We build focused landing pages specifically dedicated to a new product or service offering.

Q. Are competitive vendor bids (相見積) required?

A. Competitive quotes from two or more vendors are required when total single-vendor contract value exceeds ¥500,000 incl. tax. Our standalone package (¥495,000 incl. tax) falls below this threshold. If adding the Web Ad option to the same contract, competitive quotes will be required; consult your Chamber on contracting options.

Q. How are recurring third-party software subscriptions (Slack, HubSpot, etc.) treated?

A. Software subscriptions are pro-rated and eligible only for the duration of the grant project period. Ongoing subscription costs outside the project period are borne by the client, which we align during specification planning.

Q. Is a G-Biz ID Prime account required?

A. Yes. Electronic submission via jGrants requires a G-Biz ID Prime account. We recommend applying for one promptly as account issuance can take 1-2 weeks.
