Nepal
Followers are not a business outcome. The agencies worth hiring measure social media against leads, sales or bookings, the same as any other channel.
A real social media marketing agency in Nepal should report against business outcomes — leads, sales, bookings — not follower growth or engagement rate alone, and should be able to run paid distribution, not just organic posting. Arcetis is a verified Google Partner that has managed over $70,000 in Meta ad spend alongside organic content and platform strategy across Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, with pricing scoped from around NPR 20,000 per business.
Nepal's social media marketing market is full of agencies selling content calendars and posting schedules as if that alone is strategy. Posting consistently matters, but it is the easy part — the harder and more valuable part is distribution: making sure the right people actually see the content, and connecting that visibility back to something the business cares about, like a booking, a lead, or a sale.
Arcetis runs social media as part of its wider performance marketing work, which is why it reports Meta ad spend as a real figure — over $70,000 managed on behalf of clients — rather than talking only in likes and impressions. Platform choice is treated as a real decision too: TikTok reaches Nepal's younger audience in a way Facebook increasingly does not, Instagram carries more weight for visual and export-facing brands, and Facebook still delivers the broadest reach for local, older-skewing audiences.
A content-only agency posts and hopes the algorithm cooperates. A paid-capable one builds organic content as the top of a funnel and backs the best-performing pieces with ad spend aimed at a specific outcome, then kills what does not convert — regardless of how many likes it got. That second approach requires actual Meta Ads Manager and TikTok Ads expertise, not just a content calendar.
It also requires honest reporting. Arcetis does not present reach or engagement numbers as the final result; those are reported alongside the business outcome they were meant to produce, and ad accounts stay owned by the client throughout, so the numbers can always be independently checked.
Most engagements start with a short audit of what is already posted and what, if anything, is already working, followed by a platform decision based on where the actual audience is — not a default "post everywhere" approach. From there, organic content and paid distribution are planned together rather than as separate workstreams handled by different people.
Pricing starts around NPR 20,000 and scales with scope: a business that needs organic content plus a modest, well-targeted ad budget is priced differently from one running multi-platform paid campaigns at scale. Ad spend itself is budgeted and controlled separately by the client.
No. Follower counts and virality are not reliable outcomes to promise, and Arcetis does not guarantee rankings or results of any kind. The commitment is to transparent strategy and honest reporting against the outcomes that actually matter to the business.
It depends on the audience. TikTok reaches younger Nepali users effectively, Instagram suits visual and export-facing brands, and Facebook still delivers the broadest reach for local, older audiences. Arcetis picks based on where the specific target audience actually spends time, not a default list.
Organic content alone rarely reaches a meaningful, controllable audience anymore on most platforms. Arcetis typically recommends at least a modest ad budget behind proven content, scaled to what the business can sustain.
Verifiable capability, not a superlative claim: a Google Partner certification, over $70,000 in managed Meta ad spend, and reporting built around business outcomes rather than vanity metrics — all things a buyer can check rather than take on faith.
