Where numbered results live
Published case studies cover SEO, Maps, and PPC outcomes. Other stack lines have method pages rather than matching percentages. CPC/CPL tables: Benchmark Report 2027.
What “full stack” means for Nepali businesses
Full stack here is not a slogan for “we post on Facebook.” It is one plan across search, paid media, social, content, email, websites, analytics, and conversion — plus Nepal-specific close paths (WhatsApp, click-to-call, COD). Arjan KC scopes the person retainer; Gurkha Technology supplies team capacity. Catalog remains this page. Identity: /arjan-kc/.
Most Nepal SMEs do not need every row in the tables above on day one. A clinic often starts with Maps and local SEO. A consultancy starts with Search and dedicated landings. A D2C brand starts with technical e-commerce SEO and festival URLs. The stack is the menu; the brief picks the dishes.
How channels share one KPI
If Meta creative promises an NPR 1,500 consultation and the landing page shows NPR 2,500, Quality Score and sales both suffer. IMC is the offer sheet. SEM is organic plus paid on the same queries. Remarketing only works if a conversion event exists. Mobile is the default device, not a side project.

Engagement sequence
- Audit accounts you own (Ads, GBP, GA4, Search Console) — we do not need to “take over” logins permanently.
- Map queries and offers in English and romanized Nepali; pick the close path (form, call, WhatsApp).
- Fix the money page before raising spend — landing page work.
- Turn on conversion events; import offline closes when the sale is a phone call.
- Weekly search-term and creative hygiene; monthly report against the KPI you named.
Stack FAQ
Who delivers this — Arjan KC or Gurkha Technology?
Arjan KC is the personal role (strategy, scoped retainers, teaching). Gurkha Technology is the agency for multi-channel team delivery. One Kathmandu practice, not two competing brands.
Do you use every channel on every brief?
No. The stack is the menu. Mix follows Nepal intent, NPR budget, and tracking.
