Meta Ads Expert in Nepal

Short answer: a Meta Ads expert in Nepal should know how Facebook and Instagram behave for a Nepali audience. That means where the buyers are, what the September 2025 platform restrictions did to reach and tracking, and how to stop paying for likes that never turn into an enquiry.

This page is about the person who runs the account and how to judge them. Scope, deliverables and fees are on the Meta Ads management service page.

I've worked on Meta campaigns for hospitality, consumer brands, an airline, an NGO and a mobile app launch. I publish the scope of each. Where nobody tracked a number to a standard I'd defend, I don't claim it.

What a Meta Ads expert actually does

A Meta Ads expert, whom most people in Nepal call a Facebook ads expert or a Facebook ads specialist, plans, builds and measures paid campaigns on Facebook and Instagram. Instagram ads run from the same Ads Manager, so one person covers both. In my work the job has four parts.

1. Decides what the campaign is for. Reach, messages, leads, app installs and sales are different objectives with different costs. A campaign set to engagement buys you likes from people who will never buy.
2. Builds the measurement before the creative. That means the pixel or Conversions API, lead form or WhatsApp click events, and a way to reconcile Meta's numbers with your own enquiries. In Nepal the enquiry usually arrives in Messenger or WhatsApp, so that event has to exist.
3. Segments the audience honestly. Kathmandu buyers, regional buyers and the Nepali diaspora in Australia, the Gulf and the UK respond to different creative. One campaign for all three wastes most of its budget.
4. Treats creative as the main variable. Targeting on Meta has narrowed, so the creative does the work. For most Nepali service businesses, short video and natural looking photos beat polished artwork.

Published work

I describe these engagements by scope. I publish a figure only when the work was mine, it carries a date and a baseline, and the client approves. The case studies article explains what I claim and what I don't.

How to check any Meta Ads expert, including me

Anyone can press the Boost button and call it advertising. Ask these questions before you hand over a page.

• Who owns the Business Manager, the page, the pixel and the billing? It should be you.
• What is the campaign objective, and why that one?
• What do you count as a lead? A like, a comment or a link click is not an enquiry.
• How do you check Meta's numbers against my own inbox?
• What is your fee, apart from the ad spend?
• Who makes the photos and video, and is that inside the fee?
• Which campaigns did you run yourself, and what exactly was your part?
• What do I keep if we stop? You should keep the account, the audiences and the list.

The Meta Ads management page sets out how I count a lead.

Facebook ads in Nepal after the 2025 restrictions: what still works

Most people in Nepal still say Facebook ads, not Meta Ads, and they mean the same account. So if you are looking for a Facebook ad service in Nepal, this page describes it: Facebook advertising in Nepal runs through Meta's Ads Manager. Three things still work after the September 2025 block:

• Click to WhatsApp and click to Messenger campaigns, with the conversation counted as a lead.
• Lead forms that ask for a phone number and nothing else.
• Catalogue ads for stores that can deliver outside Kathmandu.

Renting an audience stopped working. Every campaign I run now builds a list the business owns, on WhatsApp, email or its own site. The next policy change then costs it far less.

Social media marketing in Nepal versus a paid Meta campaign

Social media management, meaning daily posts and replies, is a different job from a paid campaign, and I don't sell it. The social media SEO page explains what I do and don't cover on the organic side.

What's different about Meta Ads in Nepal

• The September 2025 restrictions changed the rules. When Nepal blocked Facebook, Instagram and other platforms for a period, businesses that had built their whole audience inside Meta lost it overnight. The lesson isn't to leave Meta. It's to build a list you own. The 2026 statistics page has the numbers.
• Messenger and WhatsApp are the conversion. Most Nepali buyers won't fill in a form. Click to message campaigns, with the conversation tracked as a lead, usually beat website conversion campaigns on cost per enquiry.
• Boosted posts aren't campaigns. The Boost button optimises for engagement by default. Most wasted Meta spend in Nepal goes on boosted posts that nobody gave a business objective.
• Diaspora audiences are a separate market. Remittance products, property, education and festival season retail sell to Nepalis abroad, with higher order values and different creative.

How I work on a Meta Ads account

1. I ask for access to the ad account and the pixel data.
2. I write an audit, and you keep it whether or not we work together.
3. We agree one objective and what counts as a lead.
4. I launch, test creative and report by objective. The headline number is cost per qualified conversation or lead, checked against your inbox and not only Meta's dashboard.

Free call, paid audit and ongoing work

What I won't do: buy followers or engagement, run a campaign without an agreed objective, or claim results Meta's own attribution can't support. The pricing page says what each tier leaves out.

Questions about hiring a Meta Ads expert in Nepal

Who is a Meta Ads expert in Nepal?

Nobody licenses the title, so judge on evidence: the campaigns, their scope, and whether the Business Manager stays in your name. I'm Shashikant Shah, and I run Meta Ads from Kathmandu. I've worked on Facebook and Instagram campaigns for a resort, an airline, an international NGO, Famous Steel and Home Appliances and Jhalko, and I publish the scope of each. Ask anyone else for the same list.

Is Facebook advertising still worth it in Nepal after the 2025 restrictions?

Yes, with a change of strategy. Facebook and Instagram are still the largest paid social audience in Nepal, but the restrictions showed the risk of renting an audience. Use paid social to build a list you own, through WhatsApp, email and your website.

What does a Meta Ads expert cost in Nepal?

My fee is separate from the ad spend. An account audit is USD 249 (about NPR 34,000), a four week sprint with one campaign is USD 899 (about NPR 122,000) and ongoing work is USD 1,800 a month (about NPR 245,000). You pay Meta for the ads from your own card. I work out the ad budget from your own numbers on the first call.

Should I boost posts or run campaigns?

Run campaigns. Boosted posts optimise for engagement by default and rarely produce enquiries at a sensible cost. A campaign needs a message, lead or sales objective and a tracked conversion before anyone can hold it to account.

How do I pay Meta from Nepal, and is there VAT?

Most businesses pay with a dollar card or a prepaid route, and Nepal's 13% VAT applies on digital service payments made from Nepal. The cost guide covers the payment routes in detail.

Do you work with businesses outside Kathmandu?

Yes. I manage Meta campaigns remotely for businesses in Kathmandu, Butwal, Pokhara, Biratnagar and every other city on the locations list. The work is the same and the account stays yours.

Do you do social media marketing as well?

I run the paid side: campaigns with a tracked enquiry. I don't sell daily organic posting, and I say so before you pay for anything.
