Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a Korean company to run ads on Kakao or Naver?

No. Normally, foreign businesses can’t advertise on Korea’s platforms without registering a local legal entity. bAdwords Korea removes this barrier by giving you access to Kakao and Naver Ads through our English self-serve dashboard. Just like you would use Google Ads.

❓ Which platforms are supported?

We currently support:

Kakao Ads (KakaoTalk, Kakao Display, Kakao Story)

Naver Ads (Search Ads, Display Ads, Blog Ads)

More integrations (Coupang Ads, Gmarket Ads) are under review for future updates.

❓ Is the dashboard in English?

Yes. Our entire system is in English — you don’t need Korean language skills. All campaign creation, reporting, and billing are simplified.

❓ How much does it cost?

We use a flat monthly fee of $99 dollars during the early adopters and during beta early access. This SaaS fee plus a small percentage of ad spend of 8%.

This keeps costs predictable and aligned with your growth. — no hidden agency costs.
