About Me

Get to know my background and approach

Bishal Shrestha — Founder, SEO operator, developer

Melbourne-based entrepreneur with a decade of experience in digital marketing, web development, and SMB consulting — building products that operators actually want to use.

Professional profile

I'm Founder & CEO of OneBookPlus, an all-in-one business platform for Australian SMBs that replaces the Xero + HubSpot + Calendly + Mailchimp stack with one integrated app. I'm also the creator of Codetta, a lightweight desktop code editor with first-class AI, Head of SEO Operations at Supple Digital, and founder of Search Insights Academy.

Across roughly a decade in the industry, I've consulted with 200+ Australian small and medium businesses, led enterprise SEO operations across healthcare and professional-services portfolios, and shipped both internal AI tooling and public software products. The thread running through all of it is the same: turn data, search behaviour, and tooling into measurable business outcomes.

My day-to-day spans full-stack engineering (React, Next.js, Node.js, cloud), strategic SEO leadership, and product work — which means I tend to ship things end-to-end rather than hand off the technical half. ROI improvements on the SEO side have consistently exceeded industry benchmarks by 200–300%.

Operating philosophy

Software should work for you, not the other way around. I build for simplicity, completeness, and the operator's actual workflow — not for feature-checkbox parity. Same applies to SEO operations: scalable, repeatable, technology-driven, and measured against business outcomes rather than vanity metrics.

Currently focused on: scaling OneBookPlus across the Australian SMB market, growing Codetta's user base, leading SEO operations and AI tooling at Supple Digital, and continuing the AI-SEO research at Search Insights Academy.

Outside work

Family time, running, and the slow rebuild of a reading habit after a year mostly spent shipping. I tinker with old hardware, follow the Australian cricket more than I should, and keep a soft spot for Nepal — the food, the language, and the occasional pull to go back.
