Who is Raju Khadka?

Raju founded RankMeTop to do one thing well: marketing for plumbing and HVAC businesses. Rather than spreading across every niche, he made a deliberate choice to focus on a single market and build everything around how its customers actually search and hire.

That focus is his edge. Because he already understands how homeowners search for emergency and scheduled service, who the local competitors are, and what turns a search into a phone call, every engagement starts with a head start instead of a learning curve. He leads the strategy on every account, while a dedicated in-house team handles the day-to-day delivery, so each client gets personalized attention.

Beyond client work, Raju shares what he learns through the RankMeTop blog, YouTube, and podcast. His goal is straightforward: help plumbing and HVAC businesses of every size grow their online presence and bring in more booked jobs.

Founder's story · in Raju's words

Why Raju started RankMeTop

"Let me be honest: I'm not a plumber.

I’ve never spent a summer afternoon swapping out an AC unit or snaking a blocked line. The trade is yours, and you will always know it better than I do.

What I do know is the part most owners never see, and it quietly costs them jobs every week. The moment a homeowner’s system dies and they grab their phone, the business sitting at the top of Google usually lands the call. More often than not it isn’t the best company nearby, just the one with the strongest search presence.

Getting solid operators to the front of that line is the whole reason I do this.

RankMeTop came out of years working alongside other US-based agencies, where I kept running into the same quiet scam. Owners handed over real money, and the work got passed to scattered freelancers covering everything from health to ecommerce, none of them close enough to plumbing or HVAC to do it justice.

After watching good businesses pay premium prices for that kind of guesswork, I decided to build something different. RankMeTop is fully in-house and does nothing but plumbing and HVAC, with no outsourcing and no middlemen, so the ROI finally lands where it should: with you.”
