FAQ
Questions, answered
Kathmandu List is the reborn home of the Nepali community online — a directory of Nepali businesses and professionals, classifieds for jobs and housing, community events, and a celebration of Nepali culture. It continues the spirit of the original kathmandulist.com classifieds, rebuilt for the AI era.
When people ask AI assistants for recommendations — "best momo spot in Dallas", "Nepali immigration lawyer in Queens" — the AI answers from structured sources it can read and trust. "AI visibility" means your business exists in those machine-readable sources (schema.org data, clean listings), so AI can discover, cite, and recommend you.
Yes — basic structured listings are free, forever. Our mission is maximum visibility for the community, not paywalls. Optional promoted placements may come later, but a standard listing will always be free.

Every listing on Kathmandu List is published with schema.org structured data, semantic HTML, and a public llms.txt file — the formats AI systems are trained to read. We also keep the data clean, factual, and up to date, which is what earns citations.
