Sankalpa Dahal
SEO Expert in Nepal

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the process of optimizing your website to rank higher on search engines like Google. You need SEO because over 90% of online experiences begin with a search engine. When potential customers search for products or services you offer, you want your business to appear on the first page of Google. SEO helps you get found by people actively looking for what you sell, driving qualified traffic and leads to your business.

Professional SEO services in Nepal typically range from NPR 20,000 to NPR 75,000+ per month depending on the scope, competition level, and your business goals. I offer three main packages: Starter (NPR 20,000-30,000/month) for small businesses, Growth (NPR 40,000-60,000/month) for growing companies, and SaaS/Enterprise (NPR 75,000+/month) for advanced SEO needs. The investment depends on your industry competitiveness and desired results.

Most businesses see initial improvements within 3-6 months of starting professional SEO services. However, SEO is a long-term strategy - significant results typically take 6-12 months for competitive keywords. Less competitive, long-tail keywords can rank faster (1-3 months). The timeline depends on your website's current state, competition level, and consistency of SEO efforts. Remember: SEO is a marathon, not a sprint, but the results compound over time.

Three key differentiators: (1) I'm the only SEO expert in Nepal specializing in SaaS companies - I understand product-led growth, trial conversions, and B2B SaaS SEO, (2) I'm a frontend developer, so I implement technical fixes myself rather than just recommending them - faster execution with zero miscommunication, and (3) I started professionally in August 2024, meaning I'm trained on the latest 2024-2025 SEO practices and AI-driven strategies, not stuck in outdated tactics.

No. While SaaS SEO is my specialty, I provide comprehensive SEO services for all industries across Nepal - e-commerce stores, local businesses, service companies, B2B, educational platforms, travel & tourism, healthcare, real estate, and more. My SEO fundamentals and data-driven approach work across any industry. I've successfully ranked websites for product sampling, AI tools, and various business types.

No ethical SEO expert can guarantee specific rankings - Google's algorithm has 200+ ranking factors and changes constantly. Anyone promising guaranteed #1 rankings is being dishonest. However, I do guarantee a proven process, transparent reporting, data-driven strategies, and measurable improvements in your organic visibility, traffic, and leads. I focus on results that matter to your business, not just vanity metrics.

My comprehensive SEO audit includes: technical SEO analysis (site speed, mobile-friendliness, crawlability, indexation), on-page optimization review (content quality, keyword usage, internal linking), content gap analysis, competitor analysis, backlink profile review, keyword opportunity identification, and a prioritized action plan with realistic timelines. You'll get a detailed report showing exactly what needs to be fixed and why.

Absolutely. I help local businesses across Nepal - Kathmandu, Pokhara, Biratnagar, Lalitpur, and beyond - improve their local SEO. This includes Google Business Profile optimization, local keyword targeting, citation building, review management, and 'near me' search optimization. Local SEO is crucial for brick-and-mortar businesses that want to attract nearby customers searching on their phones.

Yes, this is one of my key advantages. Unlike most SEO consultants who just audit and recommend changes, I'm a frontend developer. I can implement technical SEO fixes myself - site speed optimization, schema markup, JavaScript SEO, Core Web Vitals improvements, canonical tags, robots.txt, XML sitemaps. This means faster execution, no developer bottlenecks, and better results.

I track multiple metrics: organic traffic growth, keyword rankings (position improvements), conversion rates (leads/sales from organic traffic), domain authority, backlink quality, page speed improvements, and most importantly - business impact (revenue, leads, ROI). Every month you get a detailed report showing progress on these metrics. SEO success isn't just rankings - it's measurable business results.

Yes. I offer both done-for-you SEO services and consulting/training for businesses that want to learn SEO in-house. I can train your marketing team on SEO fundamentals, keyword research, on-page optimization, content strategy, and technical SEO basics. Training packages are customized based on your team's current knowledge level and goals.

SaaS SEO focuses on product-led growth metrics, targeting bottom-of-funnel keywords (product comparisons, alternatives, 'vs' keywords), optimizing for free trial signups and demo requests rather than just traffic, understanding buyer intent specific to software purchases, and creating content that addresses specific use cases and pain points. Traditional SEO often focuses on traffic and general conversions, while SaaS SEO is laser-focused on qualified signups.

Yes. While I'm based in Biratnagar, Nepal, I work with clients globally. I've helped businesses in various countries with their SEO - from AI platforms to SaaS companies to e-commerce stores. Remote collaboration works perfectly for SEO services, and I'm experienced in working with international teams across different time zones.

Absolutely. I provide specialized e-commerce SEO services including product page optimization, category structure optimization, technical SEO for large product catalogs, shopping feed optimization, schema markup for products, conversion rate optimization, and content strategy. I've helped e-commerce businesses in Nepal achieve #1 rankings and significant traffic growth.

I use industry-leading SEO tools including Google Search Console, Google Analytics 4, Ahrefs, SEMrush, Screaming Frog for technical audits, Claude AI for content research, VS Code for implementation, PageSpeed Insights, Schema markup validators, and various other specialized tools. Having access to professional SEO tools is essential for data-driven decision making.

I officially started providing professional SEO services in August 2024, though my interest in SEO began earlier. Starting recently means I'm trained on the latest 2024-2025 SEO practices, understand AI-driven search (ChatGPT, SGE), and use modern strategies that work right now. I'm not carrying baggage from outdated tactics like link farms, keyword stuffing, or black-hat techniques that stopped working years ago.

Yes, all my SEO packages are structured as monthly retainers because SEO is an ongoing process, not a one-time project. Monthly retainers include continuous optimization, content creation, link building, technical maintenance, performance monitoring, and strategic adjustments based on results. This ensures consistent progress and long-term success.

Yes. If your website has been penalized by Google (manual penalty or algorithmic), I can help diagnose the issue, create a recovery plan, and implement fixes. This might involve removing toxic backlinks, fixing thin content, addressing technical issues, or cleaning up spammy tactics from previous SEO providers. Recovery timeline depends on the penalty type and severity.

I've worked with SaaS companies, AI platforms, e-commerce stores (product sampling), AI tools directories, SEO agencies, tech startups, and various other industries. My primary focus is SaaS and technology companies, but I've successfully applied SEO strategies across multiple sectors. Good SEO principles work across all industries when applied correctly.

Communication frequency depends on your package: Starter package includes email support and monthly reports, Growth package includes bi-weekly check-ins plus monthly reports, and SaaS/Enterprise package includes weekly strategy calls. I'm always available via email for urgent questions, and I provide detailed monthly performance reports showing exactly what was done and what results were achieved.
