SEO for E-commerce Stores in Nepal
Stop burning cash on Facebook and Google ads that stop working the moment you pause campaigns. Build an organic sales channel that works 24/7.
Why E-commerce & Online Stores Need Specialized SEO in Nepal
Nepal's e-commerce is exploding—Daraz, Sastodeal, and hundreds of independent stores are competing for the same customers. But here's the problem: most store owners spend NPR 50,000-200,000 monthly on Facebook ads and Google Shopping, and the moment they pause, sales drop to zero. E-commerce SEO is different. When someone searches 'buy iPhone 13 Nepal' or 'best running shoes Kathmandu', they're 30 seconds from checkout—they just need to find YOU. I helped Eruchi.com.np hit #1 for 'product sampling Nepal' in 2 days with 20-30% conversion rates. As a developer and SEO specialist who started in August 2024, I know how to optimize product pages, fix technical issues in WooCommerce or Shopify, implement product schema, and make your store rank for actual buyer keywords—not just informational queries. My approach focuses on revenue, not traffic.
Common Challenges E-commerce & Online Stores Face Online
Ad Dependency & Rising Costs
Facebook/Google ads cost NPR 50-200K/month. The moment you pause, sales stop. Sustainable organic channel needed.
Invisible for Product Searches
Buyers search 'buy [product] Nepal' or '[product] price Kathmandu' but find Daraz, Amazon links, not your store.
High Cart Abandonment
Even with traffic, 70-80% abandon carts. Technical issues, slow loading, trust concerns kill conversions.
Competing with Daraz & Marketplaces
Daraz dominates e-commerce searches. Need strategy to compete with marketplace authority and budgets.
How SEO Transforms Your E-commerce & Online Stores Business
Reduce Ad Spend by 40-60%
Organic rankings bring sales without paying for every click. Reinvest ad savings into inventory and growth.
Reach High-Intent Buyers
Rank for 'buy [product]' searches when people are ready to purchase, not just browsing.
Compound Growth Over Time
Unlike ads, SEO compounds. Month 6 brings more traffic than month 1, without increasing costs.
Better Conversion Rates
Organic visitors convert 2-3x better than paid traffic because they found you through intent-based searches.

My E-commerce & Online Stores SEO Process
Store & Product Audit
Analyze your product catalog, identify best-sellers, audit technical SEO issues, review current traffic sources, and understand your competitive landscape in Nepal e-commerce.
Competitor & Daraz Analysis
Study what's working for Daraz (marketplace authority), top niche stores, and identify gaps we can exploit. What keywords do they rank for? How's their product structure?
Technical Foundation
Fix site speed (critical for Nepal's slow internet), resolve duplicate content, optimize mobile experience, implement product schema, fix pagination issues.
Product & Category Optimization
Optimize top 20-50 products first (80/20 rule), then categories, then long-tail products. Focus on best-sellers and high-margin items initially.
Content & Authority Building
Create buying guides, comparison content, and category-level articles that attract top-of-funnel traffic and convert to sales.
Performance Tracking & Scaling
Track organic revenue, product rankings, conversion rates, and CAC reduction. Scale what works, optimize what doesn't.

Frequently Asked Questions About E-commerce & Online Stores SEO
How long before my online store starts getting sales from SEO?▼
Initial organic sales typically start in 2-4 months for less competitive products and long-tail keywords. Highly competitive products (electronics, fashion) may take 4-6 months for top 10 rankings. However, quick wins exist: I got Eruchi to #1 in 2 days for their niche. Results vary by competition and product category.
Can SEO really compete with Daraz's authority?▼
For generic searches like 'buy online Nepal', Daraz wins. But for specific products ('Nike Air Max 270 Nepal'), niche categories ('organic skincare Kathmandu'), and long-tail searches, you CAN outrank marketplaces by being the specialist. We focus on where you have competitive advantages.
Do you work with both WooCommerce and Shopify stores?▼
Yes! I have development experience with both. WooCommerce (WordPress) is popular in Nepal, while Shopify is growing. I can optimize either platform, fix technical issues, implement schema, and improve performance directly in the code.
How do you handle product descriptions for SEO?▼
I create unique, SEO-optimized product descriptions (not copied from suppliers—that's duplicate content). Each description includes target keywords naturally, highlights benefits not just features, addresses buyer concerns, and includes schema markup for rich results.
Will SEO help reduce my Facebook ad costs?▼
Yes, but it's a gradual shift. As organic rankings improve, you'll get more direct sales without ad spend. My e-commerce clients typically reduce ad dependency by 40-60% within 6-9 months as SEO traffic scales. You can then redirect ad budget to inventory or use ads more strategically.
What about product images and SEO?▼
Product images are crucial for e-commerce SEO. We optimize file names, add descriptive alt text, compress for fast loading (critical in Nepal's slow internet), and implement image schema. Good product images also improve conversion rates.
Can you help with categories outside fashion/electronics?▼
Absolutely! I work with all e-commerce categories: fashion, electronics, home goods, beauty, books, groceries, pet supplies, etc. Each category has unique SEO considerations and buyer search patterns we optimize for.
How much does e-commerce SEO cost in Nepal?▼
E-commerce SEO pricing starts from NPR 30,000/month for small stores (under 100 products). Mid-size stores (100-500 products) typically need NPR 45,000-60,000/month. Large stores (500+ products) or multiple categories require NPR 70,000+/month. Pricing scales with catalog size and competition.
