What edotgroup does

edotgroup is a sole-proprietor digital communication consultancy based in Rosenheim, Germany, operated by Jürgen Kudlacek-Pertl since 2002. The firm serves German-speaking self-employed individuals ('Selbstständige') and small businesses ('Kleinunternehmen') seeking clarity and authenticity in their online presence, offering four core service lines: digital strategy and positioning ('Klarheit & Digitale Struktur'), website conception and content development ('Websites & Inhalte'), social media visibility consulting ('Sichtbarkeit & Social Media'), and ongoing advisory/sparring engagements ('Sparring & Weiterentwicklung'). There is no proprietary technology stack, no app, no API, and no disclosed software product; the offering is professional services grounded in a methodology of listening-first, then clarity, then implementation, delivered personally by the founder.

Revenue is generated through bespoke, relationship-based engagements rather than standardized packages or tiered pricing (no publicly disclosed pricing). Go-to-market is hybrid: sales-led via direct consultation and email/phone outreach, complemented by community-led owned media that functions as a live proof of concept. Marketing channels include a long-running business blog on edotgroup.de (with categories such as 'Haltung & Gedanken', 'Arbeit & Praxis', 'Websites & Strategie'), the founder's personal presence on LinkedIn, Instagram, and Threads (@jkpertl), a Brevo-powered email newsletter, and three sub-brands — maennerformat.info (independent online magazine for men, online since 2012, reaching 79,321 monthly visitors as of May 2026), @jkpertl, and kudlacek-pertl.de. There are no partnerships, resellers, marketplaces, awards, patents, certifications, or external investors.

The business operates explicitly as a one-person practice with no employees, no subsidiaries, no parent company, and no external funding (bootstrapped sole proprietorship, founded 2002, headquartered at Wittelsbacherstraße 35, 83022 Rosenheim). The founder has stated the solo model is conscious rather than transitional ('Ich arbeite allein – bewusst'). Key recent actions include the April 2025 absorption of yourownsunshine.de into maennerformat and the June 2026 relaunch of kudlacek-pertl.de as a minimal v1.0 with a 'Bleib verbunden' email interest list. Customer segments are horizontal — freelancers, consultants, solo entrepreneurs, and small German businesses — with no named enterprise customers disclosed.
