Read the case studyThese come from engagements I worked on, some of them as part of an agency team, so read them as account totals rather than mine alone. Measured in GA4, Google Ads and Google Business Profile. Past results aren't a promise of future ones. All five published case studies, and how to verify them.
I started out as a software engineer and moved into growth marketing because I kept seeing the same gap: a good strategy handed to a team that couldn’t implement it. So I do both. Over the last 5+ years I’ve delivered 60+ projects across 8 countries, each one planned, built and measured by me end to end.
On a typical day I’m building an n8n automation that connects OpenAI or Claude into a manual process, writing the Next.js or MERN code behind it, and running the SEO and paid media that get it seen, in classic Google search and in the answer engines people now ask first (AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini). I care about AI as a tool that removes repetitive work, not as a slogan.
Most of my clients are in Kathmandu, Lalitpur and Bhaktapur, but I work with businesses in Pokhara, Chitwan (Bharatpur), Biratnagar, Birgunj, Butwal, Hetauda, Dharan and Nepalgunj, and with Nepali founders abroad. Every engagement starts with a defined scope, an implementation plan and a handover, so you keep the accounts, the code and the findings whether or not we continue.
Here is what I actually do, in plain terms. Scope, process and pricing for each are on the services page.
I audit and fix what stops Google and the AI engines from trusting your site: crawlability, structured data, internal linking, Core Web Vitals and content that actually answers the question. Classic SEO plus Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO).
Google Ads and Meta Ads accounts I run myself, from structure and targeting to bids, creative testing and conversion tracking. Every rupee is tied to a lead or a sale you can see in your own reports.
Production websites and web apps in the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js), Next.js, TypeScript and Tailwind. Fast, responsive and built for search from the first commit, whether it's a marketing site, a SaaS dashboard or an internal tool.
Landing pages built around one clear message, one action and a measurable conversion path. I review the copy, plan the tests and wire up the tracking, so you know what changed and why.
Workflow automation with n8n, the OpenAI / ChatGPT API, Claude and custom Python: lead pipelines, content workflows, AI agents and the business processes that used to eat someone’s afternoon.
Content planned around what your customers search for and what the AI engines cite, then written, published and distributed on a schedule that holds. Blog, social and email.
GA4, conversion tracking, custom dashboards and reports you can read without me in the room. You will know what is working and where the next rupee should go.
CRM setup, lead-management pipelines and documented processes, so enquiries stop falling through the cracks and your team works from one system.
SOPs, runbooks, deployment documentation and operational workflows. Unglamorous to write, and the reason things keep running when I'm not in the room.
Custom web applications and cross-platform mobile apps in React Native, Next.js and the MERN stack: SaaS platforms, admin dashboards, marketplaces, ecommerce backends and progressive web apps, built end to end by one accountable developer.
AI agents and ChatGPT-style chatbots on OpenAI, Claude and open-source models: RAG on your own knowledge base, support bots, internal copilots and document Q&A, with vector search (Pinecone, Chroma), prompt design and production hosting.
Most people come to me asking for one thing, like more traffic or a new website. Usually the real problem is somewhere else. So I look at the whole path your customer takes, from the Google search to the WhatsApp message, and fix the part that's leaking.
A Google search becomes a website visit, the visit is tracked, and the enquiry lands in your inbox. Underneath runs the code that keeps that pipeline working.
My prices are on the site, because you shouldn't have to book a call just to find out if I'm in your budget. See the three plans, or book the free thirty minute call.

A digital marketing expert who is also a working software engineer: I plan the strategy and then implement it in the code. No handover gap, no “the developer will get to it”, no plan that dies in a PDF.
I track, measure and change course based on what the numbers say. If a channel isn't paying for itself, you'll hear it from me first.
I build repeatable systems, not one-off tasks. Marketing workflows, deployment pipelines, reporting: if it should be automated, I automate it.
No jargon walls and no status updates that say nothing. I set expectations up front and tell you plainly when something isn't working.
Flexible engagement, focused on your business goals, and reachable when it matters. I take on a limited number of clients at a time so each one gets real attention.
I’m Shashikant Shah, a digital marketing expert and SEO consultant based in Kathmandu, Nepal, and a software engineer with a B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering. I work across SEO, Google Ads, Meta Ads, content, analytics and conversion optimisation, and I implement the technical side myself, including AI automation. My published record covers 5+ years of experience, 60+ projects in 8 countries, a B.Tech in Computer Science from KIIT University (CGPA 9.0), and an appointment as Global Peace Ambassador by Global Peace Chain for 2025–2026.
Yes. I’m a digital marketing expert in Nepal, working from Kathmandu with businesses across the country and abroad. Rather than ask you to take my word for it, I publish the evidence: five case studies with baselines, timeframes and measured results, a documented professional record, and practitioner pages on SEO, GEO and AEO. Check any claim on this site against the linked source before relying on it.
Digital marketing in Nepal in 2026 runs on three things: Google Search and Maps for people who already want something, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok for people who do not know you yet, and a website that loads on mobile data and gives a WhatsApp or call button. Most Nepali businesses still have no Google Business Profile, no page for their main service and no tracking, so the first wins are usually not ads but fixing those three. I wrote the full picture, with sourced numbers, in my guide to digital marketing in Nepal and in the 2026 statistics post.
Nepali agency retainers run from about NPR 15,000 to NPR 90,000 a month, and freelancers charge less. My own prices are published in USD and NPR: an audit at USD 249 (about NPR 34,000), a four week sprint at USD 899 (about NPR 122,000) and a retainer at USD 1,800 a month (about NPR 245,000). What each budget really buys is in how much digital marketing costs in Nepal.
My core digital marketing services are SEO, Google Ads, Meta Ads, content and conversion strategy, and analytics. Because I’m also a software engineer, AI workflow automation and web development are part of what I deliver, not something I outsource.
In practice that means AI workflow automation with n8n, the OpenAI / ChatGPT API and Claude, including AI agents and custom chatbots; technical SEO consulting covering audits, on-page work, structured data and Core Web Vitals; GEO and AEO consulting for visibility inside AI answer engines; full-stack web and mobile development in the MERN stack, Next.js, TypeScript and React Native; and Google Ads and Meta Ads management. Scope and process for each is on the services page.
I’m based in Kathmandu, Bagmati Province, Nepal. I work with businesses across the country: Kathmandu, Lalitpur, Bhaktapur, Pokhara, Chitwan, Biratnagar, Birgunj, Butwal, Hetauda, Dharan and Nepalgunj. My 60+ projects span 8 countries, so remote engagements are normal; we agree a time-zone overlap up front.
My automation work covers process mapping, n8n orchestration, model API integration, validation, human review, failure handling and documentation. Typical builds are lead-routing pipelines, content workflows, CRM synchronisation, document Q&A on private knowledge and internal copilots.
I’ve published guides on planning your first automation and AI agents versus rule-based automation. Service detail is on the AI automation and n8n page.
Yes. I build in the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React and Node.js), Next.js, TypeScript and Tailwind CSS: SaaS platforms, internal tools, marketplaces, ecommerce backends, admin dashboards and progressive web apps, deployed with Docker, GitHub Actions and Cloudflare Workers.
How I work is documented in Next.js best practices in 2026. Scope and terms are on the web development page.
Yes, and I treat it as a distinct service rather than an add-on to SEO. Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) are about getting cited inside Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT Search, Perplexity and Gemini, which pick sources differently from the classic ten blue links. The work is entity optimisation, schema.org markup, extractable answer formatting, source attribution and topical authority, alongside conventional technical SEO.
I’ve published the full framework in GEO vs traditional SEO: how to rank in Google AI Overviews. Engagement detail is on the GEO and AEO consulting page.
I publish three tiers rather than quoting on request: a one-off Audit & Quick Wins at USD 249 (about NPR 34,000), a four-week Growth Sprint at USD 899 (about NPR 122,000), and an ongoing Retainer + Automation at USD 1,800 a month (about NPR 245,000). Full inclusions are in the pricing section above. Custom development is scoped and quoted per project.
For what different budgets buy in Nepal generally, I’ve written a sourced comparison: how much digital marketing costs in Nepal.
