Nepal · Pokhara
Run by an agency that is actually headquartered in Pokhara — not a Kathmandu or overseas team with a Pokhara-facing page. Google and Meta ads, SEO, and the CRM behind them, tracked to revenue.
Arcetis is a digital marketing agency headquartered in Pokhara (Lakeside), a verified Google Partner that has managed $270K+ USD in Google and Meta ad spend. For Pokhara businesses it runs paid ads, SEO, and CRM as one measured system, reported against closed revenue rather than platform clicks. Meaningful monthly programmes in Nepal typically start around NPR 20,000 and scale with the media budget and goal.
Pokhara's economy runs on things people decide to buy in a moment of intent — a hotel room, a trek or tour, a vehicle hire, a clinic appointment, a plot of land, a table for dinner. That makes it an unusually good market for digital marketing done properly, because almost every one of those decisions now starts with a search or a scroll. It also makes it an easy market to waste money in, because a boosted post or an unmanaged ad account will happily spend a Pokhara business's budget on reach that never turns into a booking.
Arcetis is based in Pokhara, in Lakeside, which matters less for meetings than for judgement: we run campaigns for the categories that actually drive this city — tourism and hospitality, vehicle and travel services, healthcare, real estate, and local retail — and we have built and now operate live websites for Pokhara businesses across several of them. Digital marketing here is not a template; it is knowing that a Pokhara hotel's demand is seasonal and international, that a vehicle-hire booking is often made from another country the night before arrival, and that a local clinic competes on trust long before it competes on price.
For most Pokhara businesses, digital marketing is three jobs done together, not five retainers that never reconcile. First, acquire demand — Google Ads to catch people already searching ("vehicle hire Pokhara", "hotel Lakeside", "dental clinic Pokhara") and Meta ads to build awareness with travellers and locals before they search. Second, convert it — a fast, mobile-first website or booking flow, because a large share of Pokhara's buyers are on a phone, often on mobile data, often mid-trip. Third, operate it — a CRM or at least a real follow-up system, so an enquiry that comes in at 11pm from a traveller in another time zone is not lost by morning.
The reason to run these together is that Pokhara's buying journeys cross channels constantly. A tourist sees a reel, searches the business name, checks a map and reviews, then messages on WhatsApp. If the ad, the site, and the follow-up are three disconnected vendors, that journey leaks at every seam. Run as one system, it closes.
Plenty of agencies will build a "digital marketing in Pokhara" page and serve it from somewhere else. That is fine for some work — good execution does not strictly require a local office. But there is a real difference in judgement that comes from operating in the market: understanding the tourism season's shape, knowing which categories convert on Google versus Meta here, and having actually shipped sites for Pokhara businesses that are live and checkable rather than described in a slide.
Arcetis brings both: the same account discipline, tracking standard, and reporting used on $270K+ USD of managed ad spend across seven-plus countries, applied with local context and backed by real Pokhara work — for example the vehicle-hire and clinic sites we have built and now operate in this city.
There is no flat rate — fees scale with the media budget under management and the goal. As a realistic floor, meaningful monthly programmes in Nepal start around NPR 20,000, and Arcetis scopes each engagement per business: we listen first, suggest, agree the goal, then deliver. The honest number comes from a short discovery call, not a rate card.
Yes — Arcetis is headquartered in Pokhara, in the Lakeside area, and is a Nepal-registered, VAT-registered company (Arcetis Technologies Pvt. Ltd). It also works with businesses across seven-plus countries, but Pokhara is home, and it has built and operates live websites for Pokhara businesses.
It depends on whether your customers are already searching for what you sell or still discovering it. Tourism, vehicle hire, healthcare and real estate usually have real Google search demand, so Google Ads and local SEO lead. Hospitality, food, and newer brands often lead with Meta. Most Pokhara accounts end up running both, coordinated through one CRM.
The whole system, if you want it — website, ads, SEO, and the CRM or follow-up behind them, run together so leads do not leak between vendors. You can also take a single service to start. Arcetis is full-stack precisely so a Pokhara business does not have to stitch four suppliers together.
