Why this case exists

Managers ask “what’s the one ROAS?” This stack page refuses to invent a blended number. It forces you to cite Layer A and Layer B separately — exactly how a good pitch should work.

Layer A — Google Ads (90 days)

From /case-studies/kathmandu-home-services-google-ads/:

  • CPA NPR 4,722 → 2,571 (−42%)
  • Conversions 18 → 28/month

Layer B — Local SEO (6 months)

From /case-studies/kathmandu-home-services-local-seo/:

  • Qualified leads 12–15 → 42–48/month (~3×)
  • Organic visits 450 → 2,847/month

Manager lesson

Horizon Channel Job
Days–weeks Search ads Capture demand while SEO compounds
Months Local SEO / GBP Lower structural CAC
Always Landing + WhatsApp/call Convert the click

Capstone exercise

Allocate NPR 150,000/month across Search, Meta, and “organic ops” (content/GBP time). Defend with Layer A and Layer B citations — no fictional stack ROAS.

Cite in pitches

“Two published home-services layers: Ads CPA −42% (90 days) and local SEO ~3× leads (6 months). Cited separately — stack.”
