Great idea. Anything to make our work easier is a plus! :)

@gregormckelvie The kitten is for you, Gregor, no-one else.
Yes, we started out with everything as total manual processes and much of it continues that way today.
We're releasing a new app for more sexy onboarding next week :)
We're giving ProductHunters 20% off all plans for 3 months with coupon code: "KuduLovesPH" Jump on the free trial to meet your Kudu Expert and get your tailored advertising plan :)
Hey Cat. Not yet! But we've got lots to tell. I'm looking forward to launching it soon. I will be picking your Editorial brain on some things in the works when we next grab coffee
Great question - There's absolutely no difference in the pricing plans other than your budget.
So it doesn't matter whether you're on the 'Lite' plan or the 'Business' plan, you'll still get the same service. Your expert will do everything required to get the most out of your advertising :)
We started Kudu to give startups of any size the best people behind their advertising. We’re super excited to welcome Product Hunters onboard! I’d love to answer any questions you have.
This is cool. Lots of value added. I really appreciate how this service takes something you know is important but don't have 3 years to become a ninja and they assign an expert to help you get the results you need. It isn't some mystical algorithm or an epic 1000 page ebook, it's real people helping solve a real problem. Result!
@rwillmer Awesome question! Kudu is a fully managed service. We source the most talented AdWords experts to become Kudu Experts. We match you with the best expert so you don't need to go through interviews.
We ensure your account is constantly managed to the best of its potential and we can assign another expert if you need expertise in a niche market/advertising channel.
We also developed our own weekly update reports and monthly metrics reports which helps you keep track of everything that matters (and nothing else.)
Also, unlike Odesk there are no hourly rates, just simple flat pricing based on your budget.
Kudu FTW, right? :)
Great idea and love the site. Congratulations on making it to PH. It'd be great to read more about the companies you work with. Do you have a blog?
Hey Luke, congrats on being featured on PH!
What is the average ROI of your current customers, can you provide some numbers?
@denlunev That's the hardest thing to answer because there's really no such thing as the average ROI or CPA, CPC, conversion-rate etc.
Every business is totally different with totally different goals and strategies.
It's really unfortunate that there's a breed of advertising management services that promise 'we will get you X ROI' on their landing pages. That's crazy and totally misleading.
We always advise members to start small, achieve their goals and grow from there.
The best advertising is all about constant iteration and improvement so that's what we do :)
This is cool! I love this trend of "We provide an expert to solve this problem for you." It's a lot less intimidating than having to pick the right person, or trying to do it myself.
It's just a fantastic idea. I'm looking forward to the day I have an ad budget so I can try it out :-)
@justinweiss Thanks Justin, looking forward to welcoming you onboard in the future :)
Hello,
I have tried Kudu for 2 months, spent in total $1500 counting adwords. didn't work out for us at all (got 1 conversion that spent $50).
If you are a young Startup with tight budget like us that can not have exact metrics yet (lifetime value since you just started etc.) I do not recommend it.
Luke was at all time really responsive and professional and I guess for other companies they must work really good I do not have any doubt.
Maybe in a future I will try again and hope to get a discount from their side since this happened ;)
regards
This is one of those service business ideas that I love... I read how to articles all the time and by the end, i just want to pay someone to do it, but struggle with the cost... Big fan of this!
Wow, as a solopreneur, I've needed this service a dozen times in the last few years. An inch deep and a mile wide makes it really hard to see any success with adwords.
@coreymaass Thanks, Corey. We're currently developing our reports, exciting to make better ways for our Kudu members to track the most important numbers in their advertising. Would love to show you the beta of these reports some time in the next couple of weeks :)
