SEO Services in Nepal

I provide SEO services in Nepal and for businesses in Australia, the UK, the USA, Canada and the UAE: audits, technical fixes, content, links, local search and AI search visibility, all done by me, not handed to an account manager. This page explains each service, how an engagement runs and what it costs.

  • SEO since 2018
  • Chandragiri Hills: +180% organic traffic in 6 months
  • Nepal, Australia, UK, USA, Canada, UAE

Who these SEO services are for

Most people who contact me fall into one of three situations. A business in Kathmandu, Pokhara or Biratnagar that has a website nobody finds, and competitors who show up on Google Maps first. A company in Sydney, London or Toronto that wants senior SEO work without agency overhead and is comfortable working with a consultant in Kathmandu over Zoom and Slack. Or a marketing manager with an in-house team who needs a strategy, an audit or a second opinion rather than monthly execution. Each of those needs a different mix of the services below, which is why I scope every engagement from a call rather than a menu.

What stays the same is the order of work. I start from what you sell and who buys it, map the searches that lead to that purchase, and only then touch keyword tools, crawlers or content. Rankings that do not produce enquiries or sales are not the goal.

Core SEO services

An SEO audit is where most engagements start. I crawl the site, read Search Console and analytics, review the pages that should be earning traffic and are not, and deliver a prioritized list of fixes ranked by commercial impact rather than by how alarming the tool output looks. You can act on it yourself or have me do the work.
Keyword research turns “we want to rank for SEO Nepal” into a keyword map: one primary term per page, secondaries grouped under it, intent labelled, and gaps where a competitor ranks and you have no page at all. Every other service depends on this map being right.
On-page SEO is the page-level work: titles, headings, body copy that matches the intent, internal links, image handling and the structured data that fits the page. It is the cheapest ranking gain available on most Nepali sites because so little of it has been done.
Technical SEO fixes whatever stops Google from crawling, rendering and indexing the site: broken canonicals, orphaned pages, redirect chains, JavaScript that hides content, missing sitemaps, slow templates. On the Chandragiri Hills site the technical fixes came before any content and were the reason the content worked.
Link building earns references from relevant sites through outreach, digital PR and content worth citing. I do not buy links, use private blog networks or run link schemes, and I say so on that page in detail, because most “link packages” sold in Nepal are exactly that.
Content SEO and strategy decides what to publish, in what order, on which URL, and what each piece must do. Pillar and cluster structure, refresh plans for pages that have slipped, and briefs a writer can execute.
SEO content writing is the execution: service pages, guides and blog articles written to a brief, reviewed against the intent, and published with the right internal links. Available on its own or as part of a retainer.
Local SEO gets clinics, hotels, law firms, showrooms and any business with a physical address into the map pack for “near me” and “in Kathmandu” searches. It combines the Google profile, location pages, citations and reviews.
Google Business Profile optimization is the narrower service for businesses whose main problem is the profile itself: wrong categories, missing services, no photos, unanswered reviews, or a listing that was suspended.
SEO consulting is for teams that will do the work themselves and need direction: strategy, a quarterly roadmap, review of what the developer or writer produced, and a fixed number of hours a month to ask questions.
Website migration and redesign SEO protects rankings when a site moves domain, platform or design. Most traffic losses I am asked to diagnose started with a redesign nobody mapped the old URLs for.
Website speed and Core Web Vitals optimization takes a slow WordPress or custom site through image, script, caching and template fixes until it passes Google’s field thresholds on mobile, which is where most Nepali traffic arrives.
Schema markup and structured data adds the Organization, LocalBusiness, Product, FAQ, Article and Service markup that earns rich results and makes the page easier for AI systems to quote accurately.
Google penalty and traffic drop recovery is diagnostic work: separating a manual action from a core update, a technical regression, a migration error or a seasonal dip, and then fixing the actual cause.
SEO competitor analysis shows which keywords, pages and links are giving a competitor their advantage, so the plan targets gaps you can realistically close rather than the whole market at once.
SEO packages and pricing sets out the three monthly tiers, what changes between them and how to choose. It is the page to read if budget is your first question.

AI search optimization covers the four services for visibility in Google AI Overviews, AI Mode, ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini: answer engine optimization, generative engine optimization, AI Overviews optimization and an AI visibility audit that tracks whether and how your brand is cited. The hub page is honest about what can be measured today and what cannot.

SEO by platform and business type

eCommerce SEO handles category architecture, product pages, faceted navigation and product schema for online stores, including sellers who list on Daraz alongside their own site.
Shopify SEO, WooCommerce SEO, Magento SEO and Squarespace and Wix SEO apply the same store SEO to each platform’s specific limits: Shopify’s fixed URL structure and duplicate collection paths, WooCommerce’s plugin and speed problems, Magento’s layered navigation, and the template constraints of Squarespace and Wix.
WordPress SEO is the platform I build on and audit most. Theme and plugin configuration, Rank Math or Yoast set up properly, speed, sitemaps and the cleanup that a site accumulates after a few years of plugins.
SaaS SEO builds organic acquisition for software products: feature and comparison pages, integration and use-case pages, documentation that ranks, and free tools that earn links.
International SEO sets up hreflang, country targeting and localized content for businesses selling into more than one country or language, including Nepali-language and multilingual sites.
Programmatic SEO generates large sets of location, product or comparison pages from structured data without producing thin duplicates, with the quality controls that keep them indexed.
YouTube and video SEO makes videos rank in YouTube and Google video results and turns them into an asset for the website through embeds, transcripts and video schema.
Enterprise SEO is for large sites with many stakeholders, such as banks and multi-brand groups, where the work is as much governance, templates and prioritization as it is fixes.
Small business and startup SEO is the starter-tier version: one location or one product line, a tight keyword set and the fixes that matter first when the budget is limited.
B2B SEO targets long sales cycles and small search volumes where a single qualified enquiry is worth the quarter’s fee, common for IT companies and professional services.
Multi-location and franchise SEO builds location page systems and profile management for businesses with branches, so each location ranks locally without cannibalizing the others.

SEO by industry

The SEO services by industry hub links the industry pages: healthcare, dental, hotels, travel and trekking, banking, remittance and fintech, real estate, education and study-abroad consultancies, law firms, IT companies, fitness, restaurants, home services, automotive, manufacturing and nonprofits. Each one explains how search behaves in that industry in Nepal and abroad and which services matter most.

Results I can show

Chandragiri Hills, a hospitality destination near Kathmandu, had strong brand recognition and almost no organic search visibility. After a technical overhaul (the site loaded in more than six seconds, had no XML sitemap, no schema and broken internal links), an experience-intent content plan and Google Business Profile work, organic traffic grew 180% within six months and the site ranked on page one for 15+ priority keywords. The full write-up and the other case studies are in case studies. I only publish results I can document, which is why there are few of them.

Clients I have done SEO work for include Global IME Bank, Chandragiri Hills, Touropa Australia, Travel Puglia and MoleMax Systems.

How an SEO engagement runs

  1. Discovery call and access. Thirty minutes on what you sell, where sales come from now and what “working” would mean. Then read access to Search Console, GA4 and the CMS.
  2. Audit. A full crawl, index coverage review, Core Web Vitals check, on-page review of the commercial pages and a backlink profile review. Findings are ranked by impact and effort, not by severity label.
  3. Keyword research and intent mapping. One primary term per page, grouped secondaries, and a list of pages to create, merge or retire.
  4. Technical fixes first. Anything blocking crawling or indexing is fixed before new content goes live, either by me on WordPress or through a brief for your developer.
  5. On-page optimization. Existing commercial pages are rewritten to the keyword map before new pages are built, because they already have age and links.
  6. Content and authority. New pages and articles from briefs, plus outreach for links and mentions where the competition requires it.
  7. Monthly reporting. Rankings for the mapped terms, organic sessions, conversions from organic, what was done and what is next. Reports go out at the start of each month and I walk through them on a call.

Mistakes I see most often in Nepal

  • A site built by a design agency with no keyword map, so the “Services” page tries to rank for ten things and ranks for none.
  • Google Business Profile left with the default category, one photo and no owner replies to reviews, while the competitor with 200 reviews takes the map pack.
  • A blog full of 300-word posts on generic topics that no customer searches for, published to “keep the site active”.
  • Backlinks bought in bulk from directories and guest post farms, which is the first thing I have to clean up before real link work can start.
  • Migrations and redesigns launched without redirects, followed by a call three months later about lost traffic.

What SEO costs

Monthly SEO retainers come in three tiers: Starter at USD 500 a month, Growth at USD 900 a month, and Enterprise quoted after scoping. Where a site lands depends on competition, site size and how much content and outreach the plan needs. International clients are invoiced in NPR, USD, EUR, GBP, AUD, CAD or AED at rates below typical Western agency fees for the same scope. Standalone audits and consulting are priced per project. The tiers, what changes between them and how to pick one are on the SEO packages and pricing page.

Next step

If you want to know where your site stands before deciding anything, request a free SEO audit: I look at the site, Search Console if you share it, and send back the three or four issues that matter most. If you already know what you need, contact me with the URL and the market you sell into and I will reply with a scope within two working days.

Frequently asked questions

How long does SEO take to show results?

For most sites, meaningful movement in organic traffic and enquiries appears within three to six months. Technical fixes on a site with indexing problems can show within weeks; a new site in a competitive market such as Australian finance or UK legal takes longer. I set expectations per keyword group in the first month, based on your current authority and the competition, rather than promising one date for everything.

How much do SEO services cost in Nepal?

Monthly retainers run in three tiers: Starter at USD 500 a month for foundational work on a small site, Growth at USD 900 a month, and Enterprise quoted after scoping for competitive industries, large sites or plans that need a lot of content and outreach. Standalone audits and consulting hours are priced per project. The full tier breakdown is on the SEO packages page.

Do you work with businesses outside Nepal?

Yes. Roughly half of my SEO work is for clients in Australia, the UK, the USA, Canada and the UAE. The tools, process and reporting are the same; calls are scheduled in your time zone and day-to-day communication runs on email, Slack or WhatsApp. Invoices are issued in your currency.

Do you do the work yourself or outsource it?

I do the strategy, audits, technical work and on-page optimization personally. For large content volumes I brief and edit a writer, and for development beyond WordPress I work with your developer or a developer I have used before. You always know who did what, and nothing is white-labelled to another agency.

Can you guarantee first-page rankings?

No, and I would be cautious of anyone who does. Google's results are not for sale, and a guarantee usually means either a keyword nobody searches for or a tactic that will not survive the next update. What I commit to is a documented plan, transparent monthly reporting against agreed keywords and conversions, and honest advice if the plan is not working.

What do I need to provide to get started?

Access to Google Search Console, Google Analytics 4 and the website CMS, a short description of your products or services and who buys them, and a list of competitors you lose to. If tracking is not set up, I set it up in the first two weeks so that results can be measured from the start.
