SEO for law firms and professional services in Nepal
Written by Bikram Sah Reviewed by Pravin Pathak Updated
Clients of law and accounting firms rarely search for the firm type. They search for their problem: registering a company, getting a work permit, a property dispute, FDI approval or tax registration. Firms that answer those questions clearly, with the steps, documents and typical timelines, get the call.
Professional services also sit in what Google calls 'Your Money or Your Life' topics, where accuracy matters. Content should be written or reviewed by a named lawyer or CA, dated, and kept current as laws and fees change.

SEO questions from law firms
Can lawyers in Nepal advertise online?
Professional rules limit how lawyers can solicit clients, so we focus on informative, accurate content and avoid claims or guarantees. Your firm should confirm what's appropriate under its own professional rules.
Should we publish fees?
Exact fees often depend on the matter, but explaining how you charge, and typical ranges for standard work like company registration, builds trust and attracts better-fit clients.
Who should write our content?
We can research and draft. A partner or senior associate should review, and their name should appear on the page.
