🤝 Association Member Support

'Association Member Support' is
AI optimisation for association member companies

An AI optimisation support project run by the Web Support Center (WSC) for member companies of the associations it supports.
ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini are deciding whether businesses survive and driving a fundamental shift in marketing.

Sixteen associations, organisations and cooperatives — including the Bucheon Techno Park Development Council, the Bucheon Mold Industry Cooperative, the Employment Promotion Association, the Korea Venture Business Association and the Korean Academy Association (AKAS) — are running member support projects with the Web Support Center to survive in the AI era.

THE SHIFT · THE ERA HAS CHANGED

A name AI never mentions
is a name customers never call.

Customers no longer search. They ask. And when AI answers, it names only three to five companies. If you are not among them, you are not even compared.
The Web Support Center makes sure its member companies take their place among those names — and keeps them there.

Ask ChatGPT right now: “Recommend a company that is good at ○○.”
If your company's name isn't there, that is where you stand today.

CHAPTER 01THE BIG SHIFT

The essentials of association member support

In step with a fast-changing AI market — we help AI find association member companies first and recommend them to customers.

AI

When a customer asks a question, will AI recommend your company?

✗ OLD WAY · 2010~2023

In the years without AI, before 2024…

  1. Some companies did not need a website at all.
  2. Websites were built to win customers and advertised on Naver and Google.
  3. Businesses relied on keeping and working existing accounts, sales staff and the internet.
  • 👤CustomerSearch
  • 🔍Naver · GoogleSearch · ads
  • 🏠Many websitesVisit · compare
  • ⏱A long timeComparing
  • 🤝Final supplierChosen

Customers searched for the information they needed on Naver and Google, spent a long time visiting and comparing many websites, and then chose a final supplier.

✓ NEW WAY · 2024~

From 2024, in an AI-centred economy…

  1. AI looks for information on websites. A website that draws AI in is the most essential of essentials.
  2. People ask AI, not Naver or Google — and AI recommends a company.
  3. Without ever visiting the website, they receive all the information through AI.
  • 👤CustomerQuestion
  • 🤖AIChatGPT · Claude · Gemini
  • 🏢Matched companyNeeds matching
  • 📚All the informationDelivered instantly

Customers ask AI for the information they need, AI finds and recommends a company that matches their needs, and customers get everything about that company from AI.

★ STAR FEATUREGlobal marketing in four languages

AI finds your Member Companies first,
in four languages

We automatically detect the visitor's IP and show visitors from four countries the site in their own language.
A website that exists only in Korean cannot be surfaced by global AI.

  • 🇰🇷Korean한국어
  • 🇺🇸EnglishEnglish
  • 🇯🇵Japanese日本語
  • 🇨🇳Chinese中文

Automatic IP detection → native-language display

Visit from Japan and the page switches instantly to Japanese; visit from China and it switches to Chinese. Users never have to choose a language — they simply receive the information in their own.

Your Member Companies data, searchable in each language

We index your Member Companies information in four languages. Whether a Japanese buyer searches in Japanese or a Chinese buyer searches in Chinese, your Member Companies appears at the top of the results.

The Web Support Center runs its hub site and satellite sites in four languages at once, and shows each visitor the language of the country they are visiting from. Wherever in the world someone asks, and in whatever language, we make sure the material AI needs to reference your Member Companies is already in place.

Frequently asked questions

Can our association register as a supported association too?
Yes. There are no restrictions on industry or region, and associations, organisations, cooperatives and groups all qualify. We currently work with 16 associations, organisations and cooperatives. Once we agree on the size of the member list and how members will be informed, we can begin. The association's own website carries a member contribution of KRW 650,000.
Does the association have to pay for its member companies?
No. The only payment the association makes is a one-off member contribution of KRW 650,000 for its own website. Each member company pays KRW 500,000 itself. The association does not collect or pay member companies' costs on their behalf.
Are there any costs beyond the member contribution?
Only the SSL security certificate is separate. Certificate renewal costs KRW 38,500 per year. Everything else is included in the member contribution: a four-language website, a ten-language blog on your own domain, SEO and AEO structured data, llms.txt, JSON-LD, FAQ schema, and registration with Google Search Console, Google Business Profile, Naver Search Advisor, Smart Place and Naver AI search. VAT is excluded.
We already have a website. Can it be rebuilt?
Yes. The member contribution is the same for a new build and a rebuild. We restructure an outdated website so that AI can read it, and expand it to four languages. Existing URLs and indexed assets are preserved as far as possible. Please select 'Existing website → Rebuild' on the application form.
Why is the website in four languages but the blog in ten?
Because AI builds trust in a company in different ways. A website is what the company says about itself, so presenting it accurately in Korean, English, Japanese and Chinese is enough. A blog, on the other hand, is a record that keeps growing, so the more languages it has, the more often AI encounters it. That is why we build the blog on your own domain in ten languages. The key point is that it sits within the customer's own domain, not on someone else's platform.
What happens after I apply?
Once you submit the application, a member of our team will contact you within one business day. After reviewing your business and what you do, and the page structure, we will guide you through the schedule and the materials to prepare. Terms may be adjusted by agreement depending on the size of the site, the number of pages and any additional requirements. Our phone number is 032-323-8366.
