Nepal Case Study Map

Discussion Prompts by Day

Use one prompt per day, either in small groups (10 minutes) or as a written reflection. Answer only with the figures the case page publishes.

  1. Day 1 (Jhalko): Why did the brand identity come before lead generation? What would have gone wrong if campaigns had launched first?
  2. Day 2 (Treebones): Which parts of the owned website and brand system made later social and booking work easier?
  3. Day 3 (Ayush Hospital): How does patient-intent messaging differ from clickbait? Rewrite one generic healthcare headline in the case’s style.
  4. Day 4 (fashion e-commerce SEO and clinic local SEO): Which published result depended on technical or on-page work, and which on Google Business Profile? What would you check first on your sandbox?
  5. Day 5 (Treebones + Jhalko): What does “always-on social after brand lock” mean in practice for a small team?
  6. Day 5 / 7 (WhatsApp booking funnel): Why does click-to-chat suit Nepali customers? What would you measure, given that occupancy figures are not published?
  7. Day 6 (home services Google Ads): The published CPA fell when waste was removed and landing-page conversion improved. Which of the two would you tackle first, and why?
  8. Day 8 (education consultancy PPC): How can cost per lead fall while lead volume roughly doubles on the same spend? Link your answer to Quality Score and relevance.
  9. Day 9 (Famous Steel, THT Football Circus): How do you run creative testing when there is too little Pixel data for the Sales objective?
  10. Day 10 (Nepal Airlines, Jyotipunja): Why do governance and infrastructure come before scaling campaigns? Name one risk of scaling first.

Evidence rule for students: Quote only figures that appear on the case page. If a metric is “not published,” say so in your pitch.
