I'm Shashikant Shah, a digital marketing expert based in Kathmandu. I work with businesses in Hetauda remotely, in their own accounts, and I travel to Hetauda for the first meeting when it helps. I'm useful to the cement, steel and timber businesses that sell to dealers and project buyers, and to the hospitals, schools, showrooms and shops that serve the town. I'm also a software engineer, so I build the pages and the tracking myself. The wider picture is on my digital marketing expert in Nepal page.

Short answer: working with me from Hetauda starts with a free thirty minute call, then a written audit and 30 day plan for USD 249 (about NPR 34,000), then monthly work in your own accounts with a plain language report. For a manufacturer or a dealer the plan is built around the searches your buyers type: the product, the quantity and the district.

Hetauda is the capital of Bagmati Province and the road hub of Makwanpur, where the highway from Kathmandu comes down to the Terai. That is why the industrial district is here: cement, steel and timber businesses that sell to dealers, contractors and project buyers, not walk in customers. Those buyers search "cement dealer Makwanpur" or "steel supplier Hetauda" and phone the supplier whose page says what it makes, in what quantity, delivered where.

Many of the biggest buyers sit in Kathmandu and search by product, not by town, so a factory that only ranks for its own name is invisible to them. The town itself searches like any Nepali town: hospitals, schools, showrooms and hardware shops are found on Google Maps first, then Facebook, then a call.

The industrial district and dealers who search by product

Cement, steel and timber businesses in the Hetauda industrial district sell to dealers, contractors and project buyers who search "cement dealer Makwanpur" or "steel supplier Hetauda", often from Kathmandu, and phone the supplier whose page shows the product and a price.

Hetauda Chowk and the highway retail

Shops and showrooms around Hetauda Chowk and along the highway serve residents and the traffic coming down from Kathmandu to the Terai, found on Maps the same day, so the Hetauda profile with the right category and current hours wins the stop.

Hospitals, schools and showrooms in town

Hetauda hospitals, schools and vehicle showrooms are chosen the way they are everywhere in Nepal: Maps first, then Facebook, then a call, with reviews read before anyone phones.

Bagmati Province outside the Valley

Hetauda is the capital of Bagmati Province, and buyers from Makwanpur, Chitwan's eastern towns, Sindhuli and Ramechhap search for a Hetauda supplier, hospital or school from their own district. A service area that stops at the city limit hides a Hetauda business from the province it serves.

The problems I see most often:

  • A factory website with no page for any product, so the buyer's search lands on a directory instead.
  • A landline that rings in an empty office after five, and no WhatsApp number anywhere.
  • Google Ads on broad keywords that bring job seekers instead of dealers.
  • No tracking, so nobody knows whether the last order came from Google or a dealer's referral.

What I do for businesses in Hetauda

  • Web development: a fast site with a page for each product, a downloadable specification and a WhatsApp button. You get a site in your name, on hosting you control.
  • Google Ads on the product and district searches dealers type, with call tracking. You get a cost per enquiry you can read.
  • Local SEO for the hospitals, schools, showrooms and shops in town. You get the map pack for "hospital in Hetauda".
  • Google Business Profile management: the right category, current hours, real photos, a reply to every review and a service area that covers Makwanpur. You get a listing that stays accurate.
  • Tracking: calls, WhatsApp clicks and forms counted in your own Analytics. You get a monthly report that says which product brought the enquiries.

If you sell by the truckload, the manufacturing page says how I work with dealers and project buyers.

SEO in Hetauda

Hetauda's biggest buyers are not in Hetauda. The cement, steel, timber and agro businesses in the industrial district sell to contractors, dealers and project buyers in Kathmandu, Chitwan and the Terai who search by product, quantity and district: "cement dealer Makwanpur", "steel supplier Hetauda", "plywood manufacturer Nepal". A factory that only ranks for its own name is invisible to all of them. Inside the town, hospitals, schools, showrooms and hardware shops are found on Maps by people from Makwanpur and the surrounding hills.

The work for a manufacturer is a page per product with the specification, the quantity and the delivery area, written in the words buyers type. The work for a town business is the Business Profile, service pages, reviews and speed. I do both in your own Search Console with a plain language report every month. The local SEO page covers the Maps side.

Websites for Hetauda businesses

Most factory websites in Hetauda were built as a brochure: a history, a chairman's message and a contact page, with no page for any product. The buyer in Kathmandu who wants a specification and a price lands on a directory instead. Hospitals and schools have the opposite problem, a page for everything and no way to call or book from a phone.

I build product catalogues with a page per product, downloadable specifications and a WhatsApp enquiry path, and town sites with timings, services and a working call button. Fast on mobile data, tracked, and hosted in your name. The website development page has the stack and the prices.

Google Ads in Hetauda pays for manufacturers when the campaign targets product and district searches from Kathmandu buyers rather than broad words that bring job seekers, with offline conversion import so an order closed on the phone a week later is credited to the click that started it. I set that up in your own account. For the shops, hospitals and schools in town it is a Makwanpur radius with calls counted. Spend is separate from my fee and goes from your own card. The published benchmark is a home services firm whose cost per acquisition went from NPR 4,722 to NPR 2,571 in 90 days. Method on the Google Ads expert in Nepal page.

Choosing someone for digital marketing in Hetauda

Hetauda has a handful of local agencies and freelancers, most of them focused on Facebook pages and design, and for a showroom or a restaurant that may be enough. For a manufacturer or a dealer the question is different: can the person make your products rank for what buyers in Kathmandu type, and can they fix the site when the problem turns out to be the site? That is search and engineering work.

Ask whoever you shortlist, including me, for a dated result, proof that the site and accounts stay in your name and a written price. I work from Kathmandu, which is three hours by road, and travel to Hetauda for the first meeting when it helps. My case studies and Google reviews are public.

Proof from work like yours in Hetauda

I haven't published a result from a Hetauda business yet, and I won't invent one. The nearest work by industry is Jay Mangalam Cements and Famous Steel and Home Appliances, both on my case studies page under the scope I delivered, without numbers.

The nearest published number by mechanism is a home services business whose Google Ads cost per acquisition went from NPR 4,722 to NPR 2,571 in 90 days, down 46%. Some of these came from engagements I worked on as part of an agency team, so read them as account totals rather than mine alone. Search, Maps and ads work the same way in Hetauda. The difference is that the buyer is usually a dealer or a contractor. The baselines and dates are on the case studies page.

What it costs in Hetauda

My prices are published. An audit of your Google profile, your pages and your tracking in Hetauda with a 30 day action plan is USD 249, about NPR 34,000. A four week sprint is USD 899, about NPR 122,000. Ongoing work is USD 1,800 a month, about NPR 245,000. What each one leaves out is on the pricing page. The first thirty minute call is free, and if a single showroom only needs the audit, I'll say so.

Questions from Hetauda businesses

How much does digital marketing cost in Hetauda?

For a Hetauda business the audit with a 30 day plan is USD 249 (about NPR 34,000), the four week sprint is USD 899 (about NPR 122,000) and ongoing work is USD 1,800 a month (about NPR 245,000). Ad spend is separate and goes from your own card. A factory that only needs product pages will be told so. Details on the pricing page.

How do I choose a digital marketing agency or consultant in Hetauda?

For a showroom or restaurant a local freelancer who runs the Facebook page may be enough. For a manufacturer or dealer the question is whether they can make your products rank for what buyers in Kathmandu type and fix the site themselves. Ask for a dated result, proof that the accounts stay in your name and a written price.

Can you do SEO for a business in Hetauda?

Yes. For cement, steel, timber and agro businesses the work is a page per product with the specification and delivery area, ranking for the product and district searches dealers type. For hospitals, schools and showrooms it is the Business Profile and service pages. Both run in your own Search Console.

Do you have an office in Hetauda?

No. I'm based in Kathmandu and work with Hetauda businesses remotely, in your own accounts. I travel to Hetauda when a project needs it, usually for the first meeting or a day at the factory.

How long until we see results?

Google Ads on the right product searches bring the first dealer enquiries within a few weeks. Ranking for those searches without ads takes three to six months, and profile fixes for a business in town show in calls within four to six weeks.

Do you work with cement, steel and timber businesses that sell to dealers?

Yes, and that's most of what I hear from Hetauda. Your buyer searches for the product and the district, not your company name, so the work is pages that answer that search, ads on it and tracking by product line.

Is this a digital marketing course in Hetauda?

No. I don't run a digital marketing course in Hetauda; I do the work for businesses in their own accounts. For learning, my guide to digital marketing in Nepal is free.

When are you not the right person?

If you want a promise of rankings, bought reviews or a keyword stuffed business name, I'll say no. If you need someone in the factory office every day or a full time social media manager, I'll point you to people who do that. And if your dealers already bring all the orders you can fulfil, I'll tell you to spend nothing on me.
