What our SEO work actually covers
Every engagement starts with a technical audit, because on-page polish is wasted on a site search engines cannot crawl properly. We check indexability, canonical structure, sitemap and robots configuration, redirect chains, Core Web Vitals, and mobile rendering. Then we move to on-page work: title and meta structure, heading hierarchy, internal linking, and schema markup. Content strategy comes last, once the foundations hold.
Why most SEO in Nepal underdelivers
Two reasons, repeatedly. The first is fabricated reporting: backlink spreadsheets listing hundreds of links that were never built, and rankings screenshots for terms nobody searches. The second is chasing head terms like "digital marketing agency in Nepal" from a brand-new domain, where page one belongs to international directories with thousands of referring domains. We would rather rank you for the queries your buyers actually type and win them, than sell you a term you cannot hold.
Local search and Google Maps in Kathmandu
For a business serving Kathmandu, the local pack often matters more than the classic blue links. That means a verified Google Business Profile, consistent name, address and phone across every directory, real reviews, and location signals on the site itself. These are unglamorous and they are usually the fastest wins available to a Nepali business.
Search visibility in AI answers
A growing share of buyers now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google's AI Overviews rather than scrolling results. Being cited there depends on content that answers a question directly and early, structured data that removes ambiguity about who you are, crawler access for retrieval agents, and corroboration from other credible sources. We build for that alongside conventional ranking, because the underlying signals overlap heavily.
Frequently asked questions
How much does SEO cost in Nepal?
It depends on competition and the state of the site, but be wary of anyone quoting a flat monthly fee before auditing your site. A technical audit is a fixed, scoped piece of work; ongoing retainers should be tied to a specific set of target queries and reported against them.
How long does SEO take to show results in Nepal?
For long-tail, low-competition queries, eight to twelve weeks is realistic. For competitive head terms such as "best digital marketing agency in Nepal", twelve months or more, and only with genuine authority behind the domain. Anyone promising page one in thirty days is describing something other than organic search.
Do you build backlinks?
We build citations and earn links. Citations are directory and profile listings you are entitled to, which establish your business as a real entity. Earned links come from publishing something worth citing. We do not sell link packages, use private blog networks, or submit to link farms, because those carry penalty risk and produce nothing durable.
Can you fix a site that has never ranked?
Usually, yes. Sites that have never ranked typically have one of three problems: crawl or indexing faults, no authority signals at all, or content aimed at queries the domain cannot compete for. The audit identifies which, and they need different fixes.
