Short answer: with me, SEO in Nepal starts at NPR 15,000 for a one-time audit, NPR 40,000 for an audit plus implementation, and NPR 25,000 a month for ongoing work. Those are starting prices for a small site. The final number is quoted in writing after I've looked at your site, because the same task costs very different amounts on a five-page site and a five-hundred-page store. The first look is free.

Starting prices in Nepali rupees, as of October 2026, for a small site such as a local business, a clinic, a restaurant or a small online store. Larger sites, more markets or heavier technical problems cost more, and you get the exact number in writing before you commit.
Most sites need the audit first, whether or not they continue past it.
How much does SEO cost in Nepal in general?
Across Nepal, monthly SEO is commonly quoted from around NPR 15,000 for basic local work to NPR 1,00,000 or more for competitive markets such as large online stores. The wide gap is mostly about what the monthly fee includes: technical fixes, written content, reporting, and how many pages and keywords the work covers. That is why the same headline number can buy very different amounts of work.
What moves the price
- 01Site size and platform. A five-page site, a 500-page store, a Shopify theme with app conflicts and a custom build all cost different amounts to fix.
- 02How competitive your market is. A five-page local service site in a quiet category costs less to move than an e-commerce catalogue fighting established competitors for the same term.
- 03How much content is needed. The number of pages, guides and answers that have to be written.
- 04Technical debt. Blocked crawlers, broken structure and missing schema add work up front.
- 05How many markets. One country or several.
Questions to ask any SEO provider before you pay
- 01Which case studies are on a site like mine — same platform, same market?
- 02Who will actually do the work: you, or someone you'll hand it to?
- 03What access do you need, and will I own every account and asset (Search Console, analytics, the CMS)?
- 04What exactly will I receive each month, in writing?
- 05How do you measure AI-search visibility, given that answers change from run to run?
- 06If I stop, is there a contract, and do I keep the work?
- 07Does the pitch include a guarantee of rankings? If so, walk away.

Frequently asked questions
How much does SEO cost in Nepal?
With me, SEO in Nepal starts at NPR 15,000 for a one-time audit, NPR 40,000 for an audit plus implementation project, and NPR 25,000 a month for ongoing work. These are starting prices for a small site. Larger sites, more markets or heavier technical problems cost more, and I quote the exact figure in writing after looking at your site. Across Nepal, monthly SEO is commonly quoted from around NPR 15,000 for basic local work to NPR 1,00,000 or more for competitive markets, so compare what is included, not just the headline number.
How much does SEO cost per month in Nepal?
Monthly SEO with me starts at NPR 25,000 a month, once the site's technical foundation is sound. Across Nepal, monthly SEO is commonly quoted from around NPR 15,000 for basic local work to NPR 1,00,000 or more for competitive markets, so compare what is included, not just the headline number. The gap is mostly about what the monthly fee includes: content, technical upkeep, reporting and how many pages and keywords the work covers.
How much does an SEO audit cost in Nepal?
My AI-visibility audit starts at NPR 15,000, one time. It gives you a prioritised list of what is broken and what is worth fixing: crawler access, indexing, technical SEO, schema and content gaps, plus a set of real customer questions tested in AI assistants. You can hand the list to your own developer or have me build the fixes.
Is SEO free of cost?
Clicks from organic search cost nothing, unlike paid ads, but the work that earns them is not free. Someone has to fix the site, write pages worth ranking and keep them current. You can do that yourself with enough time and know-how, or pay a specialist to do it. Either way it is ongoing work rather than a one-time purchase, because search results keep changing.
Why are some SEO packages in Nepal so cheap?
Usually because the headline number leaves something out: the technical foundation, the written content, or reporting you can check. Ask what you will receive each month, in writing. A low price with a vague scope often costs more in the end than a clear one.
Is AI SEO or GEO more expensive than regular SEO?
It depends on where your site is starting. GEO builds on the same technical foundation as SEO, so if that is already sound the extra work is smaller; if it is not, the foundation comes first. My packages and starting prices above cover both the classic SEO work and the AI-search work, and the quote reflects the actual scope, not a label.
Do you offer one-time audits or monthly retainers?
Both, depending on what the site actually needs. A one-time audit makes sense for a business that wants a clear, prioritised list of what is broken and worth fixing. Ongoing work makes sense once the foundation is solid and the job becomes building and ranking new content over time. Most sites need the audit first, whether or not they continue past it.
Can you guarantee rankings or ChatGPT citations?
No, and anyone who does is overpromising. What is guaranteed is the work itself: a specific, checkable set of technical fixes and content, built correctly. Nobody controls Google's algorithm or an AI assistant's answers enough to promise a position.
How do I pay?
Clients in Nepal pay in NPR via Khalti. Clients in the US and Australia pay in USD or AUD via PayPal, Stripe, Zelle or Venmo.
Is the first look really free?
Yes. I check how your site appears to crawlers, test a handful of real customer questions in AI assistants, and send a short summary. If it makes sense to go further, I send a scoped quote, and you are free to take the summary elsewhere.
