When bookings slow down, most businesses buy more traffic. That's usually the wrong fix.

Growth problems are rarely about effort. They're about diagnosis. Businesses treat symptoms. The real constraint sits somewhere else. My job is to find it before recommending anything. SEO is one capability within that process, not the end product.

I work with travel and real estate businesses in Nepal to figure out where growth is actually getting stuck, and build the system that fixes it.

Travel & Trekking 5-month engagement

Aug – Dec 2023 Nepal Trekking agency

Nepal Trekking Agency

Campaign report

Traffic was climbing. Qualified enquiries weren't. Bookings relied on OTAs and referrals.

A trekking agency running 15 to 30 treks per season. The issue wasn't traffic volume. Visitors were landing on pages that didn't match what they were actually looking for. The site had been built like a brochure, not an acquisition channel.

43% More qualified organic leads
Irregular → weekly Booking pipeline
5 months From diagnosis to pipeline
The approach

Realigned the search strategy around what travellers were actually searching for, then rebuilt the pages that mattered.

Netherlands → US market from zero

Netherlands-Based Real Estate Marketing Company

Campaign report

Zero organic visibility in the US. Every new client depended on outreach and referrals.

A Netherlands-based company expanding into the US market. The demand already existed, but the website wasn't aligned with how US buyers searched or made purchasing decisions. This wasn't a traffic problem. It was an acquisition problem.

8 months From zero to first pipeline
The approach

Built the acquisition foundation first, restructuring the site around high-intent commercial searches, rebuilding service pages, and prioritising buyer intent before scaling content.

Who this is for

For travel and real estate businesses in Nepal who already have revenue but no predictable way to generate customer acquisition from search.

For founders who want an operator, not an agency. Someone who thinks about their bookings and inquiries, not their rankings.

For companies serious enough to invest in sustainable growth: predictable bookings, qualified enquiries, a customer acquisition system they own.

This isn't the fit if…

  • If you're still pre-revenue, this isn't the right starting point.
  • If you're looking for the cheapest provider, there are plenty of freelancers who will underbid me.

I focus on travel and real estate because these industries live and die by trust. A trekker doesn't book a $2,000 expedition after visiting one page. A property buyer doesn't enquire about a NPR 2 crore apartment without verifying credibility across multiple sources. Understanding how trust gets built in these specific contexts is where I create value. Generic SEO doesn't work here. Industry understanding does.

If you want someone who understands your industry and connects search to actual bookings and enquiries, let's talk.

How it works

Diagnose I look at the full picture. Where customers come from. Where they get lost. What's working and what's noise.
Prioritize I identify the one constraint that matters most right now. Not ten fixes. The one that moves revenue fastest.
Execute I build the system. Technical foundation. Content that answers what buyers are actually looking for. Pages that turn visitors into enquiries.
Improve I measure what changed. Adjust based on what the data shows. Compound what works.

How I think about growth

Growth problems are usually diagnosed incorrectly.

A business sees declining bookings and assumes they need more traffic. They hire someone to do SEO. Traffic goes up. Bookings don't. The diagnosis was wrong. The problem was never traffic. It was what happened after the visitor arrived.

This happens because most providers start with the channel. They ask "how do I get more visitors?" before asking "why aren't the current visitors buying?"

I start with the business. What's the revenue model? Where do customers come from? What's working and what isn't? What's the actual constraint? Is it visibility, or trust, or the way inquiries are handled?

Only after understanding that do I decide whether search is the right lever, and if so, how to use it.

Tactics without clarity waste time and money. Clarity without execution doesn't move anything. You need both, in the right order.

About Arun

Professional headshot of Arun Tamang, SEO Expert in Nepal and Growth Operator helping founders and business owners build sustainable organic acquisition systems.

I don't start with SEO. I start with the business.

What's the revenue model? Where do customers come from? What's working and what isn't? What's the actual constraint?

Most providers skip this step. They assume the channel is the answer before understanding the question. I don't. The diagnosis comes first. Then the execution.

I work directly with founders because the decisions that shape growth can't be delegated to a junior account manager. They require someone who understands the business, not just the channel.
