Working With International Clients

I am based in Kathmandu and have worked as an SEO and paid media specialist for international clients in Australia, the USA, the UK, Canada and the UAE since 2018. This page explains the practical side: hours, tools, how we communicate, how you pay, and what changes because I am in Nepal, which is mostly the price.

  • Clients in Australia, USA, UK, Canada, UAE
  • Better Broking, MoleMax Systems, Macquarie Medical
  • Invoiced in NPR, USD, EUR, GBP, AUD, CAD or AED

Why it works

  • Same platforms, same tools. Google Search Console, Google Ads, Meta Ads Manager, GA4, GTM, Ahrefs and SEMrush are the same in Kathmandu as in Sydney or Toronto. The search results and audiences I work on are yours.
  • Pricing set by Kathmandu costs. Senior-level work without Western agency overhead: rates are below comparable Australian, US or UK agency rates for the same scope.
  • Time zone that covers your gaps. Nepal is GMT+5:45. My working day overlaps the Australian afternoon and the UK morning. For North America I work while you sleep, so reports and fixes are waiting when you start.
  • English-first communication. Strategy documents, reports and calls in professional English, written for stakeholders who will forward them.

Who I have worked with abroad

Better Broking, MoleMax Systems, Macquarie Medical, Touropa Australia, Travel Puglia and Todaro Finance in Australia, plus Rihlat Travel News and agency subcontract work. The Better Broking Google Ads rebuild, which cut cost per acquisition 35% in 60 days, is written up in the case studies. Australian businesses have a dedicated page, SEO expert for Australian businesses, with AUD pricing and time-zone details.

Time-zone overlap by market

Your locationMy 9am to 6pm NPT is yourHow we usually work
Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane (AEST)1:15pm to 10:15pmCalls in your afternoon; updates ready for your morning
Perth (AWST)11:15am to 8:15pmMost of your working day overlaps
London (GMT/BST)3:15am to 12:15pm (GMT)Calls in your morning; my afternoon is your early hours
Dubai (GST)7:15am to 4:15pmNear-full overlap
New York, Toronto (ET)11:15pm to 8:15amCalls early or late my time; async during your day
Los Angeles, Vancouver (PT)8:15pm to 5:15amCalls in my evening or your evening; async otherwise

Daylight saving shifts these by an hour. I schedule calls in your time zone and take early or late slots in Kathmandu for North America; it has never been the reason a project stalled.

How we work together

  1. Free discovery call on Zoom or Google Meet, 30 minutes, in your time zone.
  2. Proposal within 48 hours with scope, deliverables, fee in your currency and the access I need.
  3. Onboarding: account access through your own Google, Meta and analytics properties so you always own the data; tracking verified; baseline recorded.
  4. Launch, then weekly written updates by email or Slack, and WhatsApp for anything urgent.
  5. Fortnightly or monthly live check-ins, whichever you prefer.
  6. Monthly report on the first working day, built in Looker Studio on live data so you can open it any time.

Invoicing and payment

I invoice monthly in NPR, USD, EUR, GBP, AUD, CAD or AED. Payment is by bank transfer or Wise. Ad spend is paid by you directly to Google or Meta from your own billing account; I do not hold client ad budgets and never mark them up. Fixed-scope projects such as audits are invoiced 50% up front and 50% on delivery.

Accounts, access and ownership

Everything is set up in properties you own: your Google Ads account, your Meta Business Manager, your GA4 and GTM containers, your Search Console. I am added as a user with the permissions the work needs and removed when the engagement ends. If you have inherited accounts owned by a previous agency, recovering ownership is usually the first task.

Agencies and subcontracting

If you are an agency looking to subcontract delivery rather than a business hiring directly, the white-label arrangement, NDA terms and a comparison with outsourcing to India or the Philippines are on outsource digital marketing to Nepal.

Talk in your time zone

Send a message with your website, market and goals and I will propose two call times in your working hours. To compare engagement models first, see hire an SEO expert; to check whether an individual is the right fit for you, see freelance SEO expert.

Frequently asked questions

What hours are you available for calls?

I schedule calls in your time zone. Australian and UK clients get slots inside my normal day; for North American clients I take early-morning or late-evening slots in Kathmandu. Day-to-day communication is asynchronous by email, Slack or WhatsApp, so the time difference rarely matters.

How do you handle payments from abroad?

Monthly invoices in your preferred currency, paid by bank transfer or Wise. Ad spend goes directly from your card or bank to Google or Meta; I never handle or mark up client ad budgets.

Will my accounts and data stay with me?

Yes. All work happens inside your own Google, Meta, GA4 and GTM properties with me added as a user. When the engagement ends you remove my access and keep everything, including the dashboards.
