Kathmandu GBP & Maps
Categories, photos, review SMS (no incentives). Local SEO case: organic visits 450 → 2,847.
Kathmandu trades lose money when one broad-match campaign sends emergency plumbing, general maintenance, and electrical jobs to the same homepage. DIY and job-seeker queries eat budget; plumbing CPA hides inside an electrical aggregate. Published work on this site: Google Ads (−42% CPA in 90 days; emergency plumbing CPA NPR 2,100 vs general NPR 3,400 by month 3) and local SEO (3× qualified leads in six months). National hub: home services marketing Nepal. City stack: digital marketing Kathmandu.

Valley “near me” and “plumber Kathmandu” searches are mobile and urgent. Maps is the organic half; Search should not start until GBP category, NAP, and call tracking exist. The published Ads case held spend near NPR 72,000–85,000/month while CPA fell — structure beat brute budget. Ring-road and core Valley geo need separate negatives, not one national ad group.
Split campaigns: emergency vs general vs electrical. Published waste ~35% → ~8% of spend after negatives.
Lower urgency — Maps + remarketing. Do not mix with emergency plumbing CPAs in one report.
Categories, photos, review SMS (no incentives). Local SEO case: organic visits 450 → 2,847.
Dedicated landings, click-to-call, offline job import. Ads case CVR 3.1% → 5.8%.
A completed job on site beats a form fill. Same event model as both published cases.
GBP category and NAP before raising budget. Published: −42% CPA in 90 days; 3× qualified leads in six months.
Yes — both published cases are Kathmandu trades engagements. Other cities use the same playbook; targets are set after your GBP and Search audit.
Usually Maps and NAP before scaling Search. The local SEO case compounded calls while Ads waste was cut with negatives.
No. The Ads case hid a 2× CPA spread until services were split.
