DIGITAL MARKETING EXPERT — KATHMANDU, NEPAL

Digital Marketing Expert in Nepal

Ranking your business on Google and on AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude — while growing your social media and turning it all into real sales.

WHAT DIGITAL MARKETING COVERS

Every Channel, One Person Who Owns All of It

Digital marketing is everything you do online to get found, get trusted, and get chosen. In Nepal that's no longer just a Facebook page — Google is the front door for lawyers, clinics, restaurants, and travel agencies alike, and AI tools are starting to answer "who's the best ___ in Nepal" directly, before someone even opens Google. If you're not showing up in both places, a competitor is.

HOW I WORK

A Strategic Partner, Not Just a Vendor

01

I Audit What You Have

Your website, ad accounts, social media, and search rankings — I find what's working, what's wasting money, and what's sitting untouched.

02

I Build a Strategy Around Your Goals

Not a template. A plan built around your business and budget, with an honest timeline — including how long SEO actually takes to show results.

03

I Execute — Hands On

I run the campaigns and the strategy myself. You get direct access to me, not an account manager passing your file along.

04

I Report in Plain Business Language

Leads, cost per acquisition, revenue, rankings — numbers tied to outcomes, not reach and impressions for their own sake.

PROOF, NOT JUST PROMISES

The System Behind Trip Turbo's 500K+ Downloads

I lead growth and marketing at Trip Turbo, Nepal's #1 travel app. When Travel Mela launched, marketing was a two-person team — that one campaign alone drove 60,000+ downloads, and the app has since passed 500,000 total downloads and won the ICT Award 2025 (People's Choice). I run this same system daily on Bhudki, the app I built and grow myself, and used it to rebuild this very site off WordPress onto Astro.

WHY NEPAL NEEDS A SPECIALIST

Global Playbooks Don't Account for This Market

  • Facebook still dominates, but Instagram and TikTok are growing fast among younger audiences
  • Most searches happen on mobile — your site and ads need to be mobile-first, not just responsive
  • Ad costs in Nepal run below global averages — but only if you target correctly
  • Dashain and Tihar are your highest-converting weeks, and most businesses plan for them too late
  • Google Maps and local SEO are still massively underused — a real opening for whoever moves first
  • WhatsApp is the primary communication tool here — it belongs inside your funnel, not outside it
  • AI search is arriving fast in Nepal too, and the businesses optimising for it now get a real head start

WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT

Honestly, Here's What Sets This Apart

Real, Named Case Studies

Not vague testimonials — full breakdowns with real numbers, like Trip Turbo, published for anyone to read.

I Don't Outsource Your Account

I run the strategy and the execution myself, on every engagement I take on.

I Write and Think in Public

I Cover What's Next

GEO and AI-search visibility are already part of how I approach SEO — not a bolt-on most Nepal agencies are still ignoring.

FAQ

Common Questions

How much does digital marketing cost in Nepal?

It depends entirely on what you need. A one-time strategy session starts at a few thousand rupees. Monthly retainers for full-service digital marketing management range from NPR 30,000 to NPR 2,00,000+ depending on the channels, ad budget, and scope of work. I always start with a conversation before quoting anything.

Do I need an agency or a freelance digital marketer?

For most small and medium Nepali businesses, a senior freelance digital marketer delivers better results than an agency at the same price point. With an agency, your budget pays for account managers, office overheads, and junior staff. With me, your budget goes directly into strategy and execution by someone with 10+ years of experience.

Which digital marketing channel is best for Nepal businesses?

It depends on your business type and goals. Facebook and Instagram ads deliver fast results for consumer businesses. Google Ads works best where people are actively searching for your service — lawyers, travel agencies, service providers. SEO builds long-term compounding traffic. Most businesses need a combination — I'll recommend the right mix after understanding your situation.

How long does digital marketing take to show results?

Paid ads can show results within days. SEO typically takes 4–6 months to bring real traffic and leads. App growth and social media are medium-term plays — 3–9 months for significant traction. I'll always be honest about timelines before we start.

Do you work with businesses outside Kathmandu?

Yes. I work with businesses across Nepal — Pokhara, Chitwan, Butwal, Biratnagar, and beyond. Most work is done remotely with regular video calls. I also work with Nepali diaspora businesses targeting the Nepal market from abroad. If you're in Lumbini Province specifically, see my Digital Marketing Expert in Butwal page — I grew up there and travel back regularly.

Can you help with both strategy and execution?

Yes — that's exactly what makes working with me different from a consultant who only advises. I build the strategy and execute it. You get one person who owns the full picture from planning to results.

What makes you different from other digital marketing experts in Nepal?

Mostly, proof. I don't just list numbers on a page — I've written full, honest case-study breakdowns of real Nepal growth stories, including my own work on Trip Turbo. I also cover the newer side of search, like GEO and AI-answer visibility, not just traditional SEO. And you get me directly, not an account manager passing your account to a junior.

Do you also cover AI search and GEO, or just traditional SEO?

Both. Traditional Google SEO still matters, but AI tools like ChatGPT and Google's AI Overviews are already changing how Nepalis search. I build for GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) alongside classic SEO, so your business shows up whether someone types a search or asks an AI a question.
