Taught in Nepali by Rambabu Thapa. 180 recorded lessons, over 40 hours, and thirteen things you finish holding.
You can check every number against the curriculum page before you pay a rupee. That is the point of printing them.
We know this because we asked. 442 students wrote why they joined, in their own words. The word they used most was career, 216 times. Then job, 79. Four of them came to run their own website. This is written for the other 438.
You need one job-ready skill before you enter the market. MeroJob and Kumari Job list 50 or more SEO positions a month. Module 14 is the CV, the interview and the application.
The most repeated question in the whole corpus was a version of "I have a full-time job, so how can I learn SEO effectively?" Every lesson is recorded. Watch at 10 pm if 10 pm is what you have. One live call a week, Thursdays at 7.
Students asked how to reach international clients 45 times. The career module covers applying, quoting and getting paid.
So did your mentors. One was a civil engineer for eight years on Asian Development Bank and JICA projects. He now runs technical SEO on enterprise accounts.
Plus a certificate with an ID anyone can verify against the public graduate directory.
Not slides. Working documents, each with a usage guide.

180 recorded lessons, watched when you have time. No fixed class, no 25-day sprint that collapses if you miss a week.
Live coaching every Thursday, 7:00 pm. Run by Bashudev Ojha, who took this course and now works for an Australian agency. You screen-share your audit, your keyword map, your content plan, and get corrected on the call.
Four mentors through the week. They answer by recording their screen, so you watch the fix instead of reading about it.
Assignments that get reviewed. Not quizzes. You submit a keyword map, an audit, a CV, a rate card, and someone who does this for a living tells you what is wrong with it.
Your own project from week one. You choose a real site in the third module, and every assignment after that applies to it.
Taught in Nepali, with English terminology explained alongside, because Search Console and Ahrefs are in English and so are your clients. Three to four months at about five hours a week, no fixed start date, lifetime access.
Runtime measured from the platform, grouped by subject. The curriculum page lists the same lessons as fifteen numbered modules.
| Subject | Lessons | Runtime |
|---|---|---|
| Onboarding and community | 11 | 44 m |
| Foundations: web, business, how search works | 17 | 2 h 33 m |
| Keyword research | 13 | 3 h 14 m |

| Local SEO | 7 | 1 h 05 m |
| Off-page SEO and digital PR | 20 | 3 h 50 m |
| SEO auditing | 10 | 3 h 32 m |

| AI search | 14 | 3 h 24 m |
| Career guide | 13 | live coaching |
The career module is taught in the Thursday coaching calls rather than delivered as a fixed recording, because a CV, a first interview and a rate card depend on where you actually are. The thirteen lessons are the structure. What you get is the version of them that fits your situation.
Twelve recordings run longer than forty minutes. Site speed optimization is 3 hours 9 minutes across four videos, the longest lesson in the course. The Yoast and Rank Math walkthrough is 1 hour 16. Looker Studio is 58 minutes. The technical audit is 56. These are screen recordings of real work, not eight-minute summaries.
From an empty registrar cart to a published post on your own domain.
Domain. Hosting. WordPress setup. Theme with Astra and Elementor. Pages. Blog. Customization. Yoast and Rank Math. Security. Content publishing. Speed. Troubleshooting. Website migration.
Learning SEO with Rambabu Thapa Sir was an amazing experience! He made complex topics simple and practical, guiding us step by step through keyword research, WordPress setup, and on-page and off-page SEO. His real-world examples helped us apply the skills to our own projects.

The module no other course in Nepal has, for a simple reason. It had to be recorded this year, from scratch, because the thing it describes did not exist in its current form last year.
| # | Lesson |
|---|---|
| 1 | How AI Search Systems Work |
| 2 | The Four Gates: Find, Pull, Pick, Trust |
| 3 | The AI Answer Audit, plus the Four-Gate Scorecard |
| 4 | Gate 1, FIND: Eligibility and the AI-Bot Policy |
| 5 | AI crawler access and llms.txt |
| 6 | Query Fan Out: the 8 to 12 questions hiding inside every money question |
| 7 | Gate 2, PULL: the liftable passage |
| 8 | Gate 3, PICK: the original asset |
| 9 | Gate 3, PICK: earned mentions and local |
| 10 | Gate 4, TRUST: entities, author, sources |
| 11 | Schema as entity grounding |
| 12 | Freshness and honest measurement: the five real numbers |
| 13 | The AI visibility report, as a client deliverable |
| 14 | AI as your SEO assistant: prompts, skills, agents, workflow |
3 hours 24 minutes, averaging 18 and a half minutes a lesson against a course average of 13 and a half. The AI Answer Audit alone runs 34 minutes. These run long for a theory-heavy subject because the work is new and nobody can hand-wave it.
This module exists because of one number. We asked 442 students why they joined, and 216 used the word career. Then we read every question they asked their mentors: 210 were about pricing and money, 87 about jobs, CVs and interviews.
Most SEO courses end when the teaching ends. This one ends when you are hired.
| # | Lesson | # | Lesson |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Common SEO Mistakes to Avoid | 8 | Communication Skills |
| 2 | SEO Community to Join | 9 | Accountability |
| 3 | SEO Experts to Follow | 10 | Discipline |
| 4 | Prepare your CV for SEO Jobs | 11 | Case Studies |
| 5 | Prepare for the SEO Interview | 12 | Build your Authority |
| 6 | Land your Job | 13 | Pricing your SEO Service Rates |
| 7 | How to perform best in your job |
Every lesson has a numbered assignment reviewed on a coaching call. One is your CV. One is your interview answers, said out loud. The last is your rate card, with the floor price calculated from your real costs. No other course in Nepal reviews your CV.
Three of these lessons are in nobody's curriculum, including ours until now: Communication Skills, Accountability and Discipline. They are here because a student wrote this in their very first assignment:
How to stay consistently disciplined everyday in life
Student, Module 01 assignment
Asked in the third lesson of the course. Answered in the tenth lesson of the last module.
151 students asked about AI in their workflow. Here is the honest three-way split.
Market research. Keyword clustering. Entity lists. Outlines and sub-topics. First drafts. JSON-LD schema. Outreach personalisation. Fan-out briefs. Audit write-ups. CV and case-study drafting.
Niche selection. Search-intent calls. Internal linking and silo structure. Which technical errors matter on this site. Link risk. Review responses. What to leave out of a report.
Buying a domain and installing the site. Editing live HTML. Running a crawl and reading it. Sending outreach and handling replies. Profile verification. Presenting to a client. The interview.
AI makes a trained SEO about three times faster. It makes an untrained one confidently wrong.
The only ranking that reflects what gets taught when someone puts their hand up.
| Skill | Mentions | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| WordPress and site building | 495 | Two bonus recordings, plus live sessions |
| Client work and communication | 229 | Reporting and client modules, plus Thursday coaching |

| Pricing and money | 210 | The career module, plus the live sessions |
| AI in the workflow | 151 | The AI search module |
| Analytics and reporting | 93 | Search Console, GA4, Tag Manager, Looker Studio |
| Freelance marketplaces | 89 | The career module and the live sessions |
| Personal branding | 89 | The career module |
| Jobs, CV and interviews | 87 | The career module, three lessons |
| Project and team management | 40 | Client work module, Asana and Trello |
Free, from day one. Google Search Console, Google Analytics 4, Tag Manager, Looker Studio, Bing Webmaster Tools, ChatGPT, Google's entity tools.
Paid, hands-on. Ahrefs, SEMrush, Screaming Frog, Sitebulb, Surfer SEO, BrightLocal.
We teach the workflow and the decisions, not button positions, because tools change and judgement does not.
You buy a paid tool when a real project needs it, not before. Several have free tiers that carry you through the early modules, and the free-tool lessons are full lessons, not afterthoughts. Keyword research with free tools is 50 minutes on its own. The technical audit with free tools is 45.

Founder of Orka Socials Pvt. Ltd. He records every lesson himself. One voice, one method, no rotating staff.

WordPress.org contributor. Founder of SEO Conference Nepal. Host of the SEO Podcast by Rambabu Thapa. WordCamp speaker at Nepal 2025, Kathmandu 2023 and Pokhara 2018.
He still runs live client campaigns every week, for law firms in Sacramento and Las Vegas, eCommerce stores in Melbourne and Portland, and SaaS platforms in Los Angeles. An institute cannot copy this, because their trainers teach full time. What he teaches on Monday is what worked on a client site last Thursday.
Ask any institute in Nepal who teaches the class. Then ask where their trainers learned it.

Eight years a civil engineer on Asian Development Bank and JICA projects, then he changed careers. One quarter, one client: 70,000 more organic clicks.

Started freelance, took an internship, then an Australian agency hired him. Offshore employee of the month inside four months. For a UK dental clinic, organic clicks up 531 percent. He runs the Thursday coaching call.

Clients in seven countries. Speaker at DevOps Connect Pokhara. Tested an AI-first stack on a brand-new domain with no backlinks and reached 51,800 impressions in three months.

More than 150 sites built and ranked. WordPress, Shopify, the technical implementation most SEOs have to hire out. One local client: organic traffic up 330 percent in six months.
Bashudev's route is the most repeatable one on this page. Freelance, then internship, then hired abroad. That is the path the career module is built around.

The SEO Mastery Course completely changed my career. Within just 15 days of joining, I got hired as an SEO Expert. Rambabu Sir's teaching is very practical and easy to understand.
I recently completed my 3 month SEO journey, and it was a great experience. I started from zero and learned many SEO basics and practical skills step by step. Weekly doubt clearing meetings and 24/7 group support were very helpful throughout the journey.
I completed the 90-Day SEO Challenge with instructor Ram Babu Thapa and learned so much about SEO, from keyword research to on-page and technical optimization. The course was practical, easy to follow, and helped me improve my website's traffic and rankings.
Perfect for beginners who want to start their career in SEO or switch careers. Thank you Rambabu Thapa sir.
Recently completed the 3-month SEO Mastery Course. Thanks for finding my weaknesses and opportunities of SEO in the global marketplace.

We are not promising you those numbers. We are showing you what the methods have done, and who did it.
| Where you are | What it pays |
|---|---|
| Entry-level, agency job in Kathmandu or Lalitpur | NPR 25,000 to 40,000 a month |
| Mid-level, one to two years with results you can show | NPR 50,000 to 100,000 a month |
| Freelance, international clients | NPR 100,000 to 300,000+ a month |
MeroJob and Kumari Job list 50 or more SEO positions a month across Nepal. JobsNepal carries more.
The jump between those rows is not time served. It is proof. The mid-level row needs results you can show, which is why this course makes you build a real project and document it, and why the career module ends with a case study and a rate card.
What the course controls. You finish with thirteen artifacts, a real project with real traffic data, and the ability to do the work. That is not a promise, it is the structure of the course.
What it does not control. Whether you get hired, and how fast. That depends on how much you build, whether you apply, and whether you keep going after the recordings end. One of your mentors put it best in a live session: the skill comes from the course, the challenge is how we present it. The career module is where we teach the presenting.
A realistic timeline. Freelance income tends to start around the local SEO module, because a local result shows on the client's phone in weeks. Job applications belong after the career module, when there is a portfolio to attach. Bashudev's route, freelance then internship then hired abroad, is the most repeatable one we have.
What we will not print. Income figures as expectations. The graduate billing A$36,723 is real, verified and in the directory. It is the top of the range, not the middle.
Two interest-free installments. The first unlocks the course. The balance is due within 30 days. That is the whole price: no materials fee, no certificate fee, no exam fee.
We say so plainly, because you should know before you pay rather than after. So everything you need to decide is open, and free:
Still deciding? The Basic SEO Course is 24 hours of free video on YouTube, taught by the same person in the same way. Watch an hour of it first.
