Jishesh Lamichhane 2026 SEO Pricing

If you've asked a few SEO providers in Nepal for a quote, you've probably noticed the numbers don't match. One quote says fifteen thousand rupees a month. Another says eighty thousand. Neither one is wrong. They're just quoting different things.

SEO pricing in Nepal depends on three things: how big your site is, how competitive your keywords are, and how much of the work you want handled versus doing yourself. Below is a real breakdown of what SEO actually costs, along with the exact packages I offer, so you can compare against any quote you're given.

Why SEO Quotes in Nepal Vary So Much

A small business site with ten pages costs far less to audit and fix than an ecommerce store with two thousand products. A local Kathmandu bakery competing for "bakery near me" faces less competition than a national brand chasing "digital marketing agency Nepal." Both of these change the price more than the provider's experience level does.

What SEO Costs, With Real Packages

I offer three SEO packages in Nepal, priced by scope, not by guesswork. See the full package comparison and pricing table — quick summary below:

  • Basic — Rs 15,000/month: 10 targeted keywords, full site audit, basic on-page optimization, content on 2 pages, 2 blog posts, 5 backlinks a month. Built for a small business just getting started.
  • Standard — Rs 25,000/month: 25 keywords, advanced on-page, full technical SEO, content on 5 pages, 5 blog posts, 15 backlinks, competitor analysis, and local SEO.
  • Premium — Rs 35,000/month: 50 keywords, full on-page, priority technical fixes, content on 10 pages, 10 blog posts, 30 backlinks, advanced competitor analysis, local SEO, plus a monthly strategy call.

Every package starts with the same audit. What changes between tiers is how many pages, keywords, and backlinks get worked on each month, not whether the process is done properly.

Which Package Fits Your Business

A local shop or new business with a handful of pages usually fits Basic well. A growing business that depends on local customers, and wants steady blog content, fits Standard best, since that's where local SEO gets added. A business chasing competitive keywords, or one that wants to scale content output fast, needs Premium, since that's the only tier with priority technical fixes and a monthly strategy call.

What a One-Time SEO Audit Covers

Some businesses aren't ready for a monthly package yet and just want a starting point. A standalone audit checks technical health, on-page content, and local SEO signals, and gives you a prioritized list of fixes. A one-time audit in Nepal typically runs Rs 8,000 to Rs 20,000 depending on site size. This can be a first step before choosing a package, or a way to fix the basics yourself.

Red Flags in Cheap SEO Packages

A low price isn't the problem. A low price with no process behind it is. Watch for these before you sign anything:

  • No audit before quoting a price
  • Guaranteed #1 rankings in a fixed timeframe
  • Reports that only list "tasks completed," with no ranking or traffic data
  • Backlinks from PBNs, link farms, or unrelated foreign sites
  • Duplicate or spun content reused across multiple clients
  • Long-term contracts with no way to exit

How to Pick the Right Package for Your Budget

Start with the goal, not the price tag. Need local customers in Kathmandu, Pokhara, or Butwal to find you? Make sure the package includes local SEO. Need national reach for travel or education keywords? You'll need Standard or Premium for the extra content and backlinks. Running an online store? Look for ecommerce SEO experience specifically.

Then ask for a free audit first. Any SEO expert worth hiring will look at your site and tell you exactly what needs fixing before you pay a single rupee. Request your free audit here.

SEO That Also Works for AI Overview and Voice Search

Ranking in Google's normal results isn't the only thing that matters anymore. More searches now show an AI Overview above the regular results, and more people search by voice through their phone. SEO services in Nepal that only chase the old ranking factors miss both of these.

Every package above includes content structured to answer questions directly and clearly, the same structure Google's AI Overview and tools like Perplexity pull from. This is sometimes called Answer Engine Optimization, or AEO. It means writing a clear, direct answer near the top of a page instead of burying it under long intro paragraphs.

Voice search works the same way. When someone asks their phone "who's the best SEO expert near me," the answer read out loud usually comes from a page that already answered that exact question in plain language. FAQ sections, built into every package above, are structured for exactly this.

FAQs

How much does SEO cost per month in Nepal?
Packages start at Rs 15,000 a month for a small business with a handful of pages, up to Rs 35,000 a month for businesses chasing competitive keywords with heavier content needs. The right tier depends on your site size and goals.
Is a cheaper SEO package always a worse choice?
Not if it's scoped correctly. A Basic package works well for a small site with limited pages and keywords. It becomes a poor choice only if it's used on a site that actually needs Standard or Premium level work.
Do I need to pay for SEO every month, or can I do a one-time fix?
A one-time audit can fix real technical and on-page problems on its own. But rankings need upkeep, since competitors keep publishing and Google keeps updating, so most sites see the best results from an ongoing package after the first fix.
