Digital Marketing Services in Nepal: SEO, Ads, AI Automation and Web Development
I'm Shashikant Shah, a digital marketing consultant and software engineer in Kathmandu. These are the digital marketing services I sell in Nepal: SEO, Google Ads and Meta Ads, GEO and AEO, websites and software, and AI automation. I do the work myself, in your own accounts, so no account manager sits between you and the result. Every price is on the pricing page in USD and NPR, and the first thirty minute call is free.
Icon badges for SEO, paid advertising, engineering and AI automation orbiting one glowing hub, representing digital marketing services run as a single coordinated practice rather than separate line items.
Short answer: digital marketing services in Nepal cover search (SEO), paid ads, websites, tracking and automation. I sell them as one consultant in Kathmandu, not as a digital marketing agency, and I publish every price. Pick the row in the table that matches your problem and open that page. Each one says what I do, what you get, what it costs and when I'm the wrong choice. If you can't tell which problem you have, start with the USD 249 audit.

Digital marketing agency, company or one consultant in Nepal?
I'm not a digital marketing agency or a marketing company. I'm one consultant, and that changes what you buy. If you're comparing a digital marketing agency in Nepal, or a digital marketing company, with one person, here's how I organise the work. It covers four disciplines: search visibility, paid ads, engineering and the measurement that ties them together.
I run them as one connected programme. An agency often sells them as separate line items handled by different people. A full-service agency suits you better when you need daily creative, video and several channels staffed at once. The questions at the end cover when an agency is the better buy.
Search: SEO, local SEO, ecommerce SEO and links
Most providers in Nepal sell SEO as one monthly package. I split it into the five jobs below, because each one has a different buyer, a different measure of success and a different price. The full scope and prices are on the SEO services page.
I run every one in your own Search Console and Analytics, and I report from those accounts, not from a slide deck.
Technical SEO audits and fixes
This covers crawling, indexing, rendering, structured data, internal linking and Core Web Vitals. It decides whether Google can reach and rank your pages at all, and it's where I find the most damage on Nepali sites. Detail: technical SEO in Nepal, international SEO and hreflang audits for businesses selling abroad, and SEO consultant in Kathmandu.
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
This covers Google Maps visibility, Business Profile setup and verification, reviews and local listings, for businesses that serve a city or a neighbourhood. Detail: local SEO in Nepal and Google Business Profile management.
Ecommerce SEO
This covers category and product page structure, filters, product schema and the cash on delivery problem that is specific to Nepal. Detail: ecommerce SEO in Nepal, with SEO for trekking and hospitality for the other category where search works differently.
Ethical link building
This covers digital PR, accurate listings and real partnerships. I buy no links and use no private blog networks, because the penalty lands on your domain. Detail: ethical link building.
GEO and AEO consulting for AI search
I make your pages readable and quotable for Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini, and easy to extract as an answer in featured snippets and voice. Nobody can promise a citation. Detail: GEO and AEO consulting in Nepal and social media SEO for search inside YouTube, TikTok and Instagram.

Paid search and social: Google Ads, Meta Ads, performance marketing
Performance marketing means you pay for clicks and can prove what they returned. I run Google Search, Shopping and YouTube campaigns and Facebook and Instagram campaigns from your own ad accounts. Your card is on the account, and I set up conversion tracking before you spend the first rupee.
I publish a result only when the work was mine, with a date and a baseline. What I can show today is on the case studies page.

Web and software development (MERN, Next.js, React)
I build websites and web applications with the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js), Next.js, TypeScript and Tailwind. That ranges from marketing sites to SaaS dashboards and internal tools. I build them to load fast on a phone, to be readable by Google and to make an enquiry easy.

Landing page optimisation
A landing page has one job: turn a visitor into an enquiry. I audit the page, rewrite the copy where it loses people and build conversion tracking into it, so you can see what changed.

Related reading: a five-area landing page conversion audit.
AI automation and workflow systems (n8n and OpenAI)
I build workflow automation with n8n, the OpenAI API, Claude and custom Python. Typical jobs are enquiry handling, follow up, reporting and AI agents that answer from your own documents. A person approves anything that sends money or makes a promise.

Content marketing strategy
I plan what to publish, for whom and why, across the blog, social channels and email. The plan starts from what your buyers search for, not from a posting calendar.
Detail page: Content marketing strategy in Nepal.
Analytics and performance tracking
I set up GA4, conversion tracking, dashboards and reporting. You see which channel brought each enquiry and where to spend next.

What each service costs, in USD and NPR
I publish every price. It's in USD because most of my clients are abroad, and in NPR so a business in Nepal can compare it with a local quote. The NPR figures are indicative at the Nepal Rastra Bank rate.
| Service | How it is sold | Price | Cost guide |
|---|---|---|---|
| SEO audit with a 30 day plan | One-off, five days | USD 249 (about NPR 34,000) | SEO cost in Nepal |
| Growth sprint: SEO foundations, one paid campaign, conversion pass | One-off, four weeks | USD 899 (about NPR 122,000) | digital marketing cost in Nepal |
| Retainer: search, paid media and automation | Monthly, 30 days notice | USD 1,800 a month (about NPR 245,000) | Google Ads cost in Nepal |
| Websites, software, AI automation | Scoped per project | Quoted in USD and NPR after a written scope | website cost in Nepal, software development in Nepal |
Ad spend is separate. You always pay it from your own card to Google or Meta. The pricing page has the full breakdown, including what each tier leaves out.
Industries and locations
Some of this work changes shape by industry or by city. Industries I work with covers the sectors where customers buy in a different way. Where I work covers delivery honestly, city by city. I'm based in Kathmandu and I don't claim an office anywhere else.
If you searched for SEO services near you from Kathmandu, Lalitpur, Bhaktapur, Pokhara, Chitwan, Biratnagar, Butwal, Dharan, Hetauda, Nepalgunj, Birgunj or Itahari, those pages say what I do in person and what I do remotely.
I also have pages for local SEO in Pokhara, web development in Pokhara, web development in Lalitpur and SEO consulting in Biratnagar.

Questions about buying marketing services in Nepal
Which digital marketing service should I start with?
Start with the USD 249 audit (about NPR 34,000). It covers search, ads, tracking and the website in one pass and ends with a written 30 day plan. You then buy the next piece of work knowing which problem is holding you back.
How much do digital marketing services cost in Nepal?
My prices are USD 249 (about NPR 34,000) for an audit with a 30 day plan, USD 899 (about NPR 122,000) for a four week sprint and USD 1,800 a month (about NPR 245,000) for a retainer. I quote websites, software and automation per project after a written scope. Ad spend is separate. Local price lists are in what SEO costs in Nepal.
What should a basic SEO service include?
A basic SEO service should include a technical crawl, keyword and intent research, changes to titles, headings and copy, a Google Business Profile if you serve a city, and monthly reporting from your own Search Console. If a quote doesn't name those five things, ask what the money buys.
Which SEO service suits a small business in Nepal?
For most small businesses the right first step is a one-off audit with a plan you can run yourself, not a retainer. It tells you whether you have a technical problem, a content problem or a Business Profile problem before you commit to monthly fees. Anyone who sells you a retainer before a diagnosis is selling the retainer.
Should I hire an SEO company in Nepal or one person?
Hire a company when you need volume: fifty pages a month, several languages or a team on call. Hire one person when you need judgement on a single site and want the person who scopes the work to do it. I set out the trade-offs in agency or consultant.
In what order should a business in Nepal buy digital marketing?
First a Google Business Profile if you serve a city, then a service page for each thing you sell, then conversion tracking, and only then Google Ads or Meta Ads. Fix the leak before you pay for traffic. The reasoning is in the digital marketing in Nepal guide.
Is this a digital marketing agency or company in Nepal?
No. I'm one consultant in Kathmandu with no staff and no subcontracting. If you need an agency with a team of ten, I'm the wrong buy and I'll say so on the first call. You get one senior person doing the work in your accounts, with published prices in USD and NPR. The full SEO offer is on the SEO services in Nepal page.
How do I choose the best digital marketing agency in Nepal?
Choose the best digital marketing agency in Nepal for your problem with five questions: who will do the work, what they will implement, who owns the accounts, how changes are approved and what you receive at handover. Ask for one result with a start date, an end date and a baseline. Compare every answer against the same written scope, mine included. How to choose a digital marketing expert in Nepal has the full list.
Tell me what you're trying to fix
Describe the problem in a couple of sentences. I'll reply within one working day with an honest read on whether it's worth doing, roughly what it involves and whether I'm the right person for it. You can also call +977 9845451010.
