Why work with Whitehat Marketing

We do more than adjust ad settings. We also make the articles, videos, landing pages and inquiry tracking people meet after the click, so we can close the gaps where ad spend leaks.

Ads and content under one team

We make and publish Naver Blog posts, website blog posts, short-form videos and social posts ourselves, so you do not need to source creatives or articles elsewhere.

We fix the landing page ourselves

We have built websites and platforms since founding in 2013. We edit pages so people who click can see the product and the inquiry button right away.

We judge by inquiries

We start by recording calls, texts, forms and booking clicks as conversions, then move budget according to which keywords and creatives produced inquiries, not clicks.

Clear money flow

You pay ad spend directly to each channel. We never collect it as a flat monthly sum or hold it for you, and accounts and data stay yours after the contract ends.

Each channel gets a clear role

Search ads reach people already looking, social ads reach people who do not know you yet, and platform ads reach people comparing and booking. We choose where to start based on your products and budget.

SEARCH

Search ads

Show ads on queries with clear purchase or booking intent.

  • Naver Power Link

    Split ad groups by product, region and season, and manage bids and delivery hours.

  • Naver Brand Search

    Build the top area for brand-name searches around promotions and key products, after confirming the channel requirements.

  • Google Search

    Manage match types and negative keywords to cut irrelevant clicks.

  • Google Performance Max

    Once conversion tracking is in place, run campaigns that combine Search, YouTube and Display.

SOCIAL

Social ads

Reach people by interest and region before they start searching.

  • Meta (Instagram and Facebook)

    Run creatives sized for Feed, Reels and Stories, compare results and rotate creatives.

  • Kakao ads

    Combine Kakao display placements with KakaoTalk channel growth and messaging, depending on the goal.

  • Reuse blog and short-form assets

    Turn existing blog posts and short-form videos into ad creatives to reduce production cost.

PLATFORM

Vertical platform ads

Put your products first inside the platforms where customers compare and buy.

  • Travel platforms

    Review and run ad products and promotional features on travel marketplaces in line with your departure schedule.

  • Shopping platforms

    Run shopping and product ads that sit next to the purchase screen, with product margins in mind.

  • Local and booking platforms

    Combine map and booking service ads with a clean business listing.

Four things we fix before turning ads on

Most wasted ad spend leaks outside the ad itself. Keywords, copy, landing pages and conversion records have to line up before the same budget can produce more inquiries.

Keyword design

Group product, region, season and comparison queries, and keep a negative list for queries that never convert.

Ad copy

Lead with the price range, dates and benefits each searcher wants to see, written to pass channel review.

Landing improvements

Organize product-level landing pages so visitors see the product and the inquiry button immediately.

Conversion tracking

Record calls, texts, inquiry forms and booking clicks as conversions in each channel, so you know which ad created the inquiry.

You own the account, we run it

We never open ad accounts in our name for you. We work with operator access to your accounts, so the account and its data stay with you after the contract ends.

Client-owned accounts

Ad accounts and payment methods remain in your name. If you are new, we guide you through account setup.

Delegated operator access

We use the channel’s own admin or operator invitation feature and request only the access we need.

Transparent ad spend

You pay ad spend directly to each channel. We never handle that money and never collect ad spend as a flat monthly sum.

Revoke any time

You can remove our access at any time, and the history and settings stay inside your account.

What to check before you hand over your ads

  • Pay ad spend only to the channel. We never ask you to send ad spend to Whitehat Marketing or any other company account.

  • We send the contract and quote first and start work after the deposit is confirmed.

  • For the first top-up we start small and confirm together that the account balance is reflected correctly.

  • We do not promise rankings or sales. We send a monthly report based on the channel dashboards.

Every month: what we did and what comes next

Beyond raw numbers, we show which inquiries your spend produced and what we plan to adjust next month.

Monthly report

Spend, impressions, clicks, conversions and cost per conversion by channel, based on the channel dashboards.

Query and creative review

Separate the queries and creatives that produced inquiries from those that only cost money, with next actions.

Budget proposals

We propose moving budget to the channels and products that perform, and change only what you approve.

Ongoing contact

Seasonal launches, sell-outs and budget changes are handled by message and applied quickly.

Pricing structure

Ad spend and our fee are separate, and we publish our fee rules first. Larger work such as producing creatives is quoted separately.

Ad spend (media cost)

You pay Naver, Google, Meta, Kakao and other channels directly. We never collect ad spend as a flat monthly sum, and you can check spend in your own account.

Naver search ad fee

No separate fee at KRW 1M or more in monthly ad spend, because our compensation comes from within Naver's agency structure. Below KRW 1M the fee is KRW 110K/month including VAT, waived if you also use our KRW 400K content package.

Other channel fee

For Google, YouTube, Kakao, Meta and others: 15% of ad spend (excl. VAT), with a minimum of KRW 220K/month including VAT.

Each channel decides ad positions and search rankings, so we do not promise specific rankings or performance figures. We report transparently every month on where your ad spend went.

Services that work well with ads

Blog, short-form and social package

Naver Blog, website blog, social and short-form operations plus Whitehat Security basic security management for KRW 440K/month including VAT. The content also serves as ad creative.
