Chapter 01
An SEO expert in Nepal with a team behind the work
Most people searching for an SEO expert in Nepal are choosing between a freelancer and an agency. K.K. Bhatta sits between the two: a hands-on SEO specialist who still sets the strategy on client accounts, backed by the in-house team at Queens Digital Agency that handles technical fixes, content, local SEO and reporting every month.
That means you get the judgement of one experienced person and the delivery capacity of a full team, without the risk of your rankings stalling when a single freelancer gets busy or moves on. It also means the person who designs your strategy is the same person accountable for whether it works.
Chapter 02
From SEO practitioner to agency founder
K.K. has worked in SEO, paid search and social media since 2012. In 2018 that work became Queens Digital Agency, set up in Kathmandu around one frustration: businesses were paying for marketing without being able to see what it brought back.
Since then the agency has grown into a full-service team covering search, paid media, social, content, web development and analytics, and is certified as a Google Partner and a Meta Business Partner. Clients range from single-location businesses in Kathmandu to banks, colleges, automotive brands and exporters, in Nepal, Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States.
K.K.’s current focus is how AI-era search, Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity, is changing the way Nepali businesses get discovered, and what that means for the SEO work that still sits underneath it.
Chapter 03
What K.K. works on
- SEO strategy for Nepali businesses and brands selling abroad. Every plan starts with margins, sales process and competitors, and every metric is tied to enquiries and revenue rather than traffic alone.
- Technical SEO audits and rescues: crawlability, indexation, site speed, Core Web Vitals, structured data and site migrations. This is often where the fastest early gains come from.
- Local SEO and Google Business Profile work for businesses that need the Kathmandu map pack, plus multi-location setups like branch and ATM networks.
- Content and keyword strategy: keyword maps built around how Nepali customers actually search, in English, Romanised Nepali and Devanagari where the intent calls for it.
- AI search visibility: how Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity choose which Nepali businesses to mention, and how to become one of them.
Proof
SEO results from Nepal
The clearest way to judge an SEO expert is by what changed for their clients. These are four engagements where K.K. and the Queens Digital team have run search, each documented in a full case study.
- Jeep Nepal: in early 2021 the official site was not ranking for its own name, and car review portals were taking its branded searches. Within weeks of a technical review it held the top spot for “Jeep Nepal” and “Jeep showroom in Nepal”. By the July 2022 to June 2023 annual report, more than 25 tracked searches ranked #1 and organic search was the brand’s biggest source of visitors and enquiries.
- Mega Bank Nepal: loan, savings and card pages ranked for competitive banking searches, every branch and ATM was verified on Google Maps with a system to add new locations, 52 international finance directory profiles were built, and the bank could read interest product by product for the first time.
- Kathmandu Model College: search partner since 2021. The college now appears on Google’s first page for non-branded programme searches such as BCA course fees, BBA colleges in Kathmandu and TU syllabus queries, and is cited increasingly in AI answers.
- Goreto Educational Consultancy: since 2022, a re-architected website built around destination hubs, with first-page presence for USA, Canada, UK and Australia searches in one of Nepal’s most crowded markets.

Chapter 04
How an engagement works
Every engagement follows the same five-phase structure. It is deliberately unglamorous, because the boring parts are what produce results. The first measurable ranking shifts usually show in 60 to 90 days, real traffic growth between months four and six, and revenue impact from month six onwards.
Phase 01
Week 1Discovery
We learn your business, margins, sales process and competitive landscape. No SEO tactic is universal, what works for a trekking company in Thamel will not work for a SaaS startup in Lalitpur.
Phase 02
Weeks 2–3Audit
Full technical, on-page, off-page and content audit, delivered as a written report and walked through on a call. You keep this report even if you decide not to continue with us.
Phase 03
Months 1–2Foundations
We fix the technical issues, restructure the most important pages and ship the keyword map. Most of the visible early movement comes from this phase.
Phase 04
Months 3–9Growth
Monthly content production, link earning, GBP optimisation, conversion-rate testing on top pages, and continuous technical maintenance.
Phase 05
Month 9+Compounding
Strongest pages now rank and earn links passively. We shift to defending positions, expanding into adjacent keywords and turning rankings into measurable revenue.
Chapter 05
Industries K.K. has worked across
The mechanics of SEO are the same everywhere, but what wins in each industry is not. A bank competes on trust and product pages, a college on programme content, a trekking company on international searches, a clinic on the map pack. These are the sectors where the team has run SEO campaigns in Nepal.

Chapter 06
Tools and reporting
Day to day the work runs in Google Search Console and Google Analytics 4 for tracking, Ahrefs and Semrush for keyword and competitor research, and Claude and ChatGPT as part of how content is researched and AI-search visibility is monitored.
Reporting is monthly and written to be read by a business owner, not an SEO: rankings, traffic and, most importantly, the enquiries and revenue they lead to. You own all the work from day one, the content, the on-page changes, the schema and the links, and if you ever stop working together, every report and access credential is handed over.
Testimonials
What clients say
We went from page four to the map pack in five months. The reporting alone is worth the retainer, finally an agency that ties rankings to actual revenue.
Our category pages on the store now do more revenue than our paid Meta budget. The technical fixes paid for the year in the first quarter.
Chapter 07
Training and teaching
Beyond client work, the Queens Digital leads have run digital marketing and AI prompting training for Morang Auto Works’ senior management (Yamaha, JCB, Jeep and Fiat), journalists at Annapurna Media Network, and students at Kathmandu Model College, DAV, Imperial and Atharva College.
Chapter 08
Hiring an SEO expert in Nepal through Queens Digital
Engagements run through Queens Digital Agency, so you get a named SEO expert, a clear monthly report and a team that keeps the work moving. Packages start from around NPR 30,000 per month for Entry, NPR 55,000 for Growth and NPR 90,000+ for Enterprise. For a serious Nepalese SMB we usually recommend NPR 60,000 to NPR 120,000 per month over at least 12 months, which is what it takes to fund the content and link work that compounds.
See the full scope, process and pricing on our SEO services in Nepal page, or tell us about your website and we will come back with what we would fix first.
