Why your website is not bringing you work

Almost every site I audit in Nepal has the same handful of problems. None of them are mysterious, and all of them are fixable.

Sound familiar?
  • You only show up on Google when someone types your business name.
  • Competitors with a worse product sit above you in the results.
  • The site takes six seconds to open on NTC or Ncell mobile data.
  • You paid for SEO once and never got a report you could understand.
  • Your Google Business Profile has the wrong category and no recent reviews.
  • Every enquiry comes from boosted Facebook posts, and stops when you stop paying.
What changes
  • You rank for the searches that lead to money, not vanity keywords.
  • Pages open in under two seconds on Nepali mobile data.
  • The Maps listing brings calls without any ad spend at all.
  • One plain-language report a month: rankings, traffic, leads.
  • You own every account, so nothing is ever held hostage.
  • Enquiries keep arriving in the months you spend nothing on ads.

What the SEO work includes

Every engagement covers all six. Where I start depends on what your audit says is costing you the most.

Technical SEO

Crawl errors, page speed, mobile layout, duplicate URLs, sitemaps and structured data. The plumbing that decides whether Google can read you at all.

Keyword research

Built from real Nepali search data, including Roman Nepali and mixed-language queries that most keyword tools miss completely.

Content and on-page

Two to four pages written or rewritten every month, each mapped to a keyword people actually search and a clear reason to contact you.

Local SEO and Maps

Google Business Profile set up properly: right categories, service areas, photos, posts, and a system for getting genuine reviews.

Link building

Mentions from Nepali news sites, tourism portals, industry directories and partner businesses. No purchased link networks, ever.

Reporting

One report on the 5th of every month: rankings on Google.com.np, traffic, leads, what I did and what is planned next.

Why businesses hire me instead of an agency

Agencies in Kathmandu sell packages. I start with a question instead: where is your money actually coming from, and what is stopping more of it?

I take on 3 to 5 clients at a time. You deal with me from the first meeting to the last report; there is no junior to hand you over to once the contract is signed.

  • A written audit before any contract, so you can see the problems for yourself.
  • One monthly report in plain language, not a forty page export from a tool.
  • You own every account, Search Console, Analytics, Ads, hosting, domain.
  • No lock-in. Three months to start, then month to month.
  • I will tell you when SEO is the wrong place to spend your money.
  • Based in Tokha, and happy to sit in your office for the first meeting.

How I work, month by month

SEO is slow, so it should at least be visible. Here is what happens and when, so you can judge for yourself whether it is working.

01
Before you pay

Free audit

I go through your site, your competitors and your Search Console data myself, then write down what is wrong in the order it is costing you money. Yours to keep whether you hire me or not.

02
Week one

Plan and fixed quote

A written scope: which keywords, which pages, what I deliver each month and what I need from you. A fixed monthly fee, not an open-ended retainer.

03
Month 1–2

Fix the foundations

Speed, mobile layout, crawl errors, duplicate pages, tracking and Google Business Profile. Unglamorous, and the part that makes everything after it work.

04
Month 2–6

Build the pages

Keyword-mapped content, rewritten service pages, local landing pages, and the internal links that tie them together.

05
Month 3 onward

Earn the mentions

Links and citations from Nepali media, directories, tourism portals and partner businesses. Slow, manual, and the reason rankings hold once you get them.

06
Every 5th

Report and adjust

Rankings, traffic, leads and spend in plain language, plus what I am changing next. A call whenever you want one.

Want to know why you are not ranking?

Send me your website address. I will look at it myself, not a tool and send back a short written audit. No charge, and no sales call unless you ask for one.

Questions I get asked before people hire me

The honest answers, including the ones that occasionally lose me the work.

How long before I see results from SEO?

First movement in rankings usually appears around month three. Meaningful traffic change is month five or six. Anyone promising page one in thirty days is either using tricks that will get you penalised or targeting keywords nobody searches for.

Do you guarantee first position on Google?

No, and neither can anyone else. Google does not sell rankings and does not take instructions. What I can commit to is the work, the reporting, and honesty about whether a keyword is winnable for your budget.

Who owns the accounts and the website?

You do, always. Search Console, Analytics, Google Ads, Meta Business Manager, the domain and the hosting are all created in your name with you as owner. If we stop working together you keep everything and I remove my access.

Can I pay in Nepali rupees?

Yes. Bank transfer, eSewa or Khalti, invoiced monthly with VAT. Ad budgets are paid directly to Google or Meta on your own card, not through me.

Do you work with businesses outside Kathmandu?

Yes. Around a third of my clients are in Pokhara, Chitwan, Butwal and Biratnagar, and a few are Nepali businesses selling abroad. Everything works over video call, though I can travel for the first meeting if the project is large.

What do you need from me to start?

Access to your website admin, Search Console and Analytics if they exist, and about an hour of your time to explain what you sell and who buys it. That hour matters more than any tool.
