Hi, I'm Madhav Kushwaha. A results-driven SEO Specialist in Nepal

I'm a Digital Marketing Manager and SEO trainer based in Lalitpur. For 7+ years I've helped SaaS, eCommerce and enterprise brands earn qualified organic demand from Google, Google Maps and now AI answer engines. I've built traffic from zero to 180K+ monthly sessions and cut a client's paid acquisition cost fivefold.

०१The strategy behind the growth

Rankings are the means. Revenue is the point.

  • Intent before keywords. I map what people actually need before choosing a single target term.
  • Foundations before scale. Crawlability, speed and structure come first, so every piece of content counts.
  • Evidence before opinion. Each recommendation comes from your data, not from a template.
  • Compounding before quick wins. I prefer work that keeps paying off over tricks that expire.

As an SEO Specialist in Nepal, my work starts with search intent. Before I build a content pipeline or a technical roadmap, I study the exact questions your customers ask and where they are in their decision. A student comparing courses, a procurement manager shortlisting vendors and a family looking for a flat in Lalitpur all type differently and need different pages. Traffic alone doesn't matter. What matters is attracting qualified visitors who are ready to act.

Search no longer ends at ten blue links. I build for Google AI Overviews, Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) alongside classic rankings. That means a strong technical foundation and clear entity signals, so that Google, Bing and AI assistants such as ChatGPT and Perplexity can crawl, understand and accurately describe your brand.

Over the last seven years I've led cross-functional teams of up to 35 people, run forensic technical SEO audits and turned raw analytics into growth models that leadership can act on. I took a SaaS platform from zero to 180,000 monthly organic users in 15 months, grew a real-estate portal to 40K monthly visitors while cutting its ad spend by 80%, and increased a B2B site's traffic 20× for a client in India. In every case the goal was the same: sustainable, long-term ROI that keeps paying off after a campaign ends.

“Most sites don't have a content problem. They have a clarity problem. Search engines and AI models can only send you customers they can understand.” Madhav Kushwaha, SEO Specialist
०२Local knowledge

Why SEO in Nepal needs a local specialist

Global SEO playbooks assume fast networks, English-only queries and mature review ecosystems. Search in Nepal works differently. These are the patterns I plan around for every Nepali brand, and for every international brand that wants to reach Nepali customers.

Mobile-first, data-light

Most searches in Nepal happen on phones, often on patchy mobile data outside the valley. Heavy themes and unoptimised images cost rankings and customers. Core Web Vitals work here is about revenue, not vanity scores.

Three ways to search for one thing

The same customer may search in English, in Devanagari Nepali or in Romanised Nepali typed on an English keyboard. I research all three, so your pages match how people actually type rather than how a keyword tool assumes they do.

Maps decides the local race

For restaurants, clinics, showrooms and institutes in Kathmandu, Lalitpur and Bhaktapur, the Google Business Profile often drives more calls than the website. Correct categories, consistent NAP details, photos and a review system all matter.

Domestic demand vs. export demand

A .com.np store selling inside Nepal and a Kathmandu SaaS selling to the US need opposite strategies: different competitors, link sources and content depth. I've worked on both sides, from cgdigital.com.np to global SaaS.

०३Specialized expertise

SEO services in Nepal, built around outcomes

Hire me for one discipline or the full growth system. Every engagement starts with an audit of your site, so we fix what's actually holding you back instead of following a generic checklist.

०१

Technical SEO

I fix Core Web Vitals, implement schema markup, optimise crawl budget and keep the site architecture clean, so search engines spend their attention on the pages that make you money.

  • Crawl, render & indexation diagnostics
  • Core Web Vitals & mobile performance
  • Structured data & entity markup
  • Migrations without traffic loss
०२

Enterprise SEO

I design scalable organic growth frameworks and manage large content architectures for high-traffic platforms with many stakeholders, templates and markets.

  • Template & programmatic page systems
  • Internal linking & hub architecture
  • SEO governance across dev & content teams
  • Executive-level reporting
०३

Content Strategy & GEO

I plan E-E-A-T-driven content clusters and optimise them for AI Overviews and answer engines, so your brand is ranked, quoted and correctly described.

  • Topic clusters mapped to buyer intent
  • Answer-first page structure (AEO)
  • Entity & citation readiness (GEO)
  • Editorial briefs your writers can use
०४

Local SEO in Nepal

I build local search visibility in Nepal and in your target cities abroad with targeted Google Business Profile optimisation and location pages.

  • Google Business Profile optimisation
  • NAP consistency & local citations
  • Review generation systems
  • Kathmandu Valley & multi-city pages
०५

Off-Page SEO & Digital PR

I run high-authority outreach and data-driven digital PR campaigns that earn coverage and links instead of buying them.

  • Linkable assets & original data
  • Journalist & publisher outreach
  • Brand-mention reclamation
  • Toxic-link risk review
०६

Audits & Recovery

Forensic site audits for sudden traffic drops: I find the cause, whether it's a core update, a migration or a penalty, and lead the site back to recovery.

  • Traffic-drop root-cause analysis
  • Algorithmic & manual-action recovery
  • Content pruning & consolidation
  • Prioritised, dev-ready fix list
०४Search beyond blue links

SEO, AEO & GEO: three jobs, one strategy

More and more of your customers' questions are answered before anyone clicks. These are three related disciplines. I plan them together so that rankings, direct answers and AI mentions support each other.

SEO
Search Engine Optimization

SEO earns rankings and clicks in traditional search results by making pages crawlable, relevant and authoritative for the queries your customers use.

Optimises for
Positions & organic clicks
Core levers
Technical health, content, links
GEO
Generative Engine Optimization

GEO makes your brand's facts clear, consistent and well evidenced across the web, so AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity can describe and cite you accurately.

Optimises for
Accurate AI mentions & citations
Core levers
Entities, evidence, consistency

Plain-language promise: no one can guarantee placement in an AI answer, just as no one can guarantee a Google ranking. What I can give you is a brand that's easy for machines to understand and trust, plus measurement that shows whether it's working.

०५How we'll work

A five-stage method, without the black box

You'll always know what I'm doing, why I'm doing it and how we'll judge whether it worked. Stage lengths depend on site size and how quickly your team can ship changes.

  1. Discover

    Week 1

    Business goals, margins, audiences and competitors. I learn what a valuable visitor means for you.

  2. Diagnose

    Weeks 1–3

    A technical, content and authority audit backed by Search Console and analytics data, plus a baseline we can measure against.

  3. Design

    Weeks 3–4

    A prioritised roadmap that maps each keyword family to the page that should own it, with quick wins and long-term goals running side by side.

  4. Deploy

    Month 2 onwards

    Fixes, content and outreach shipped in sprints, with dev-ready tickets and editorial briefs your team can execute.

  5. Compound

    Ongoing

    Monthly reporting in plain language: what moved, why, and what we'll do next. Wins get doubled down on and dead ends get cut.

Most SEO courses teach the tools. My classes teach how to make decisions: how to read a site the way a crawler does, how to prioritise with limited dev time, and how to explain SEO to the people who sign the cheques. I teach at ODcrU Academy and TechAxis Institute, and I run private workshops for in-house teams.

११Questions, answered

Hiring an SEO specialist in Nepal: FAQ

Straight answers to the questions I'm asked most often on discovery calls. Have a different question? Email me.

How do I choose the right SEO specialist in Nepal?

Ask for named, verifiable outcomes instead of screenshots without context: which domain, which metric, over what period. A good SEO specialist in Nepal should explain how they will diagnose your site before promising anything, show experience in your business model (local, eCommerce, SaaS or export), and refuse to guarantee rankings.

How long does SEO take to show results?

Technical fixes and improvements to pages that already rank can show movement within weeks. Competitive head terms usually take several months of consistent content, technical and authority work. The timeline depends on your starting authority, competition and how quickly changes ship.

How much do SEO services in Nepal cost?

Cost depends on scope: a one-time audit, a fixed implementation project or an ongoing growth retainer. I scope work after a free audit call so that the price reflects the actual problems on your site rather than a generic package.

Do you work with businesses outside Nepal?

Yes. Much of my work has been for global SaaS, travel and WordPress product brands, as well as companies in India and the Philippines. I work remotely from Lalitpur and work comfortably across time zones.

What is the difference between SEO, AEO and GEO?

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) earns rankings and clicks in traditional search results. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) structures content so it can be extracted as a direct answer, for example in featured snippets or voice results. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) makes a brand clear, consistent and well-evidenced so AI systems such as Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity can accurately describe and cite it.

Can you guarantee first-page rankings on Google?

No. Nobody controls Google's rankings, and anyone who guarantees them is a risk to your domain. What I commit to is a transparent strategy, measurable leading indicators, honest reporting and work that compounds over time.

Do you offer SEO training in Nepal?

Yes. I teach advanced SEO at ODcrU Academy in Kathmandu and full-stack digital marketing at TechAxis Institute in Lalitpur, and I run in-house training for marketing teams that want to build SEO capability internally.
