What I do

SEO that builds a real organic presence for your business

SEO is no longer about placing a keyword on a page and hoping it ranks. Search engines now reward pages that are technically sound, properly structured, and genuinely useful to the person searching. That is why I treat SEO as a long-term growth system — not a shortcut.

When I work on a website, I look at the full picture: keyword intent, page hierarchy, topical depth, crawlability, internal linking, conversion flow, and content quality. Everything together, not in isolation.

How I work

Rankings built to last, not to spike and drop

I work with businesses that are serious about organic growth. My approach targets the changes that create compounding improvements — stronger pages, better site structure, clearer authority signals, and content that better matches what your target audience is actually searching for.

  • Search-intent driven content planning
  • Technical SEO that supports and protects rankings
  • On-page optimisation that improves topical relevance
  • Internal linking that distributes authority across the site
  • Content depth that earns rankings for clusters of related terms
SEO Services

SEO services I offer as a specialist based in Nepal

Each service is designed to address a specific growth lever — better rankings, stronger organic traffic, and a higher-quality search presence for your business.

01

Keyword research

I map out the commercial, informational, and supporting keywords your site should target — so every page serves a specific search intent and brings in visitors who are genuinely looking for what you offer.

02

Technical SEO

I improve crawlability, indexing, site architecture, internal linking, XML sitemaps, robots.txt, Core Web Vitals, and overall technical health so search engines can fully understand, crawl, and rank your site.

03

On-page SEO

I optimise headings, title tags, meta descriptions, content structure, semantic relevance, and page hierarchy so each page sends the right signals to Google and gives users a clear, useful experience.

04

Content optimisation

I improve underperforming pages, expand thin content, and build topical depth so your most important pages rank for a wider range of relevant queries and satisfy user intent more completely.

05

Local SEO

I help local businesses in Nepal and internationally improve visibility in location-based searches — strengthening map pack presence, local landing pages, and business-focused keyword targeting.

06

SEO strategy & growth planning

I build a practical, prioritised SEO roadmap that focuses on the highest-impact changes first — so your time and budget go toward the work most likely to move rankings, traffic, and business results.

Longest-serving client — 2016 to present

Over nine years of consistent SEO work — including technical improvements, content depth building, and recovery from major algorithm updates — the site now ranks #1 for 200+ commercial keywords across the US, UK, and Australia. Long-term SEO success does not come from shortcuts. It comes from consistent execution, honest testing, and learning what actually works over time.

Why choose me

What makes my approach different from other SEO services in Nepal

There are many people offering SEO in Nepal. Here is what sets my work apart — based on what clients have told me directly, and on what I have seen actually move rankings over the past decade.

Technical depth most SEOs skip

Most SEO services in Nepal focus on content and backlinks. I go deeper — crawl architecture, indexing behaviour, structured data, Core Web Vitals, and the technical signals that separate ranking sites from stalling ones.

Long-term thinking, not quick-fix tactics

I have seen short-term tactics produce traffic spikes that vanish in three months. My work builds a sustainable organic foundation — one that holds through algorithm updates and compounds over time.

Content and structure worked on together

Good content on a poorly structured site struggles. Strong structure with thin content struggles. I work on both simultaneously — because rankings depend on the combination, not either one alone.

Business outcomes, not just traffic metrics

I look beyond rankings and sessions. The measure that matters is whether organic traffic produces enquiries, leads, and revenue. That is what I optimise for, and what I report on.

Cross-market experience

I have ranked sites in Nepal, Australia, India, the USA, and the UK across competitive niches. That exposure shapes how I think about keyword intent, content depth, and what it actually takes to rank in each market.

Honest about what SEO can and cannot do

I will not overpromise. I will tell you what the site needs, what the timeline looks like, and what results are realistic — so you can make informed decisions about your SEO investment.

About Nishant Gupta

How I became one of Nepal's most trusted SEO specialists

I started in SEO in 2016 as a junior executive at a digital agency in Jaipur, India. In those early years I learned what worked, what did not, and — more importantly — how to recover when Google's algorithm punished tactics that seemed fine the month before.

By 2019 I was leading SEO strategy for multiple clients across Nepal and India. In 2020 I joined Makura Creations in Lalitpur, where I spent four and a half years building organic growth programmes for businesses in Nepal, Australia, and beyond. Since February 2024, I have worked independently — taking on a small number of clients at a time so I can give each project the depth of attention it deserves.

I hold a Master's in Business Administration and a background in Electronics Engineering, which shapes how I think about data, systems, and the cause-and-effect logic behind why pages rank or fail to rank.

Who I work with

I work best with businesses ready to invest in serious SEO

My clients typically fall into one of three situations: they have a site with untapped potential that has never had proper SEO, they have tried SEO before and not seen results worth the investment, or they are growing fast and need organic search to keep pace.

I am not the right fit for every business. I work best with clients who have a clear product or service, a willingness to improve their site and content, and a realistic understanding that SEO is a 6–12 month commitment before significant traffic gains become consistent. If that sounds like you, let's talk.

My SEO process

How I approach every new SEO engagement

A clear process means the work is prioritised, measurable, and aligned with your business goals from day one — not retrofitted later.

1

Audit & research

Full review of your current site — technical health, existing rankings, keyword gaps, content quality, and competitor benchmarks.

2

Strategy & roadmap

A prioritised plan that addresses the highest-impact improvements first — so effort and budget are focused where they will move rankings fastest.

3

Technical & on-page

Implementation of technical fixes, on-page optimisations, internal linking improvements, and metadata updates across priority pages.

4

Content & growth

Expanding content depth, building supporting pages, and refining what is working — a continuous cycle that compounds rankings month over month.

Tools & expertise

What I bring to your SEO project

Strong SEO results come from combining the right tools with the experience to know what the data is actually telling you — and what to do about it.

🔎

Keyword & competitor research

I use Ahrefs, SEMrush, and Google Search Console to identify high-value keyword opportunities, analyse competitor gaps, and build a keyword map your site can realistically own.

⚙️

Technical SEO auditing

I use Screaming Frog, Google Search Console, and PageSpeed Insights to uncover crawl issues, indexing problems, duplicate content, Core Web Vitals failures, and structural weaknesses.

📊

Analytics & reporting

I work inside Google Analytics 4 and Search Console daily. I track what matters — organic sessions, click-through rates, keyword position changes, and conversions — not vanity metrics.

✍️

Content strategy & optimisation

I plan content around search intent clusters, optimise existing pages for topical depth, and create briefs that help writers produce pages that genuinely outrank the competition.

🔗

Link building & digital PR

I focus on editorial links from relevant, authoritative websites — not link farms or paid directories. Quality over volume, every time.

📍

Local SEO & Google Business

I optimise Google Business Profiles, build local citation consistency, and target location-based keywords so businesses rank in the map pack and local organic results.

🧠

Algorithm & industry awareness

I follow Google's core updates, quality rater guidelines, and industry research closely — so my strategies reflect how search actually works today, not how it worked three years ago.

Industries I work with

Businesses I can help grow through SEO

The right SEO strategy varies by business model, competition level, and search intent. Here is where I have the most direct experience.

L

Local service businesses

From clinics and legal firms to contractors and hospitality businesses — I help local businesses in Nepal dominate location-based searches and convert that visibility into enquiries.

S

B2B service companies

I help service companies with longer sales cycles attract better-qualified organic leads by building topical authority, improving commercial page structure, and targeting the specific queries buyers use.

C

Content & media sites

I help content-heavy sites improve internal linking, topic coverage, page quality signals, and search visibility across large content libraries — turning page count into ranking strength.

Core strengths

Where my SEO expertise runs deepest

My strongest areas are technical SEO and on-page optimisation — the foundations that most SEO campaigns underinvest in. I also have hands-on proficiency with Google Ads and paid search, which gives me a joined-up view of how organic and paid traffic interact.

Over a decade of working across competitive markets — from Nepali local businesses to global SaaS companies — I have developed a clear sense of what the highest-leverage SEO work looks like for each type of site. That pattern recognition is something no tool can replicate.

What I believe about SEO

"The sites that win in search are the ones that genuinely deserve to. My job is to make sure Google can recognise that — through better structure, clearer signals, and content that actually serves the people searching."
