Frequently Asked Questions

Google Ads budgets in Dubai depend heavily on your industry. Service businesses (cleaning, maintenance, tutoring) can start with AED 3,000-5,000/month. E-commerce brands typically need AED 5,000-15,000/month. Competitive industries like real estate, legal, medical, and financial services often require AED 10,000-30,000+/month due to higher cost-per-click. On top of ad spend, agency management fees range from AED 2,000-5,000/month. Our recommendation: start with a test budget, let us optimize for 30-60 days, then scale what's profitable.

Yes — Google Ads is one of the fastest ways for small businesses in Dubai to get customers. Unlike SEO which takes months, Google Ads puts you at the top of search results within hours. The key is proper management: the right keyword targeting, negative keywords to eliminate waste, compelling ad copy, and optimized landing pages. A well-managed Google Ads campaign typically delivers 3-8x return on investment. We've helped small businesses in Dubai generate their first leads within 48 hours of launching campaigns.

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) improves your organic search rankings over time without paying per click — results are long-lasting but take 3-6 months to materialize. Google Ads (PPC/Pay-Per-Click) places your website at the top of search results instantly but you pay each time someone clicks — results are immediate but stop when you stop paying. Think of SEO as buying a house (long-term asset) and Google Ads as renting (immediate shelter). Most successful businesses invest in both simultaneously.

Average CPC in Dubai varies dramatically by industry. General benchmarks: restaurants/food (AED 2-5), retail/e-commerce (AED 3-8), healthcare (AED 8-20), real estate (AED 10-35), legal services (AED 15-50), financial services (AED 12-40). What matters more than CPC is cost-per-acquisition (CPA) — how much you pay per actual customer. A AED 30 click that converts into a AED 50,000 real estate deal is a great investment. We optimize for conversions, not just clicks.

Google Ads can start generating traffic within hours of launching a campaign. However, meaningful lead generation typically follows this timeline: Days 1-7 — initial traffic and data collection. Days 7-14 — first optimizations based on search term data. Days 14-30 — campaign stabilization, conversion tracking refined. Days 30-60 — significant optimization, costs decrease, leads increase. Most of our clients see their first qualified leads within the first week and achieve optimal performance by month 2-3.

If your monthly ad spend is under AED 2,000, you might manage it yourself using Google's automated features. Above that, hiring a certified agency almost always pays for itself. Here's why: the average business wastes 25-40% of their Google Ads budget on irrelevant clicks, wrong match types, and poor optimization. A professional agency like ours reduces waste, improves Quality Scores (lowering your CPC), builds custom landing pages, and continuously A/B tests — typically improving ROI by 200-400% compared to self-managed campaigns.

Website costs in Dubai vary widely based on complexity. A basic WordPress brochure site (5-10 pages) costs AED 5,000-10,000. A standard business website with custom design (10-20 pages) runs AED 10,000-20,000. Shopify or WooCommerce e-commerce stores cost AED 12,000-30,000. Custom web applications or large e-commerce platforms can range from AED 30,000-100,000+. Factors that affect price: number of pages, custom vs template design, e-commerce functionality, integrations (CRM, payment gateways), multilingual support, and ongoing maintenance needs. See our web design packages.

Typical timelines: a simple WordPress site takes 2-4 weeks. A standard business website takes 4-6 weeks. An e-commerce store takes 6-10 weeks. A custom web application takes 10-16+ weeks. These timelines assume timely client feedback — delays in content, approvals, and revisions can extend the project. We provide a detailed project timeline at kickoff with milestones and deadlines for both teams. Rush projects are possible at an additional cost.

WordPress is best for content-rich business websites, blogs, portfolios, and service businesses. It powers 43% of the internet and offers maximum flexibility. Shopify is ideal for e-commerce — it handles payments, inventory, and shipping beautifully out of the box. Choose Shopify if selling products is your primary goal. Custom development (React, Next.js) is for complex web applications, SaaS products, or businesses needing features no platform provides. Our recommendation: WordPress for 70% of businesses, Shopify for e-commerce, custom for enterprise-grade applications.

It's not optional — it's mandatory. In the UAE, over 85% of internet traffic comes from mobile devices. Google uses mobile-first indexing, meaning it ranks your website based on its mobile version, not desktop. A non-responsive website will rank lower on Google, lose 85% of your visitors, and give a terrible user experience. Every website we build is mobile-first — designed for phones first, then scaled up for tablets and desktops. We test across 20+ device sizes before launch.

Yes! Every website we build comes with an easy-to-use content management system (CMS). You'll be able to update text, images, blog posts, products, and pages without touching any code. We provide a training session after launch (recorded for future reference) and detailed documentation. If you'd rather not manage updates yourself, our website maintenance plans start at AED 500/month and include content updates, security patches, backups, and technical support.

A website that ranks well on Google needs: fast loading speed (under 2 seconds), mobile-responsive design, clean code structure, proper heading hierarchy (H1, H2, H3), optimized meta titles and descriptions, high-quality original content, internal linking, SSL security (HTTPS), schema markup, optimized images with alt text, and good Core Web Vitals scores. We build all of this into every website from day one — our sites are SEO-ready from launch. This gives our clients a significant head start over competitors who need to retrofit SEO after building.

Here's what typical Dubai businesses invest: small businesses (AED 5,000-15,000/month across all channels), mid-size companies (AED 15,000-50,000/month), and enterprise brands (AED 50,000-200,000+/month). This should be split strategically across channels based on your goals. We create customized budget recommendations during our free consultation based on your industry, competition, and growth targets.

We track ROI through multiple KPIs: for SEO — organic traffic, keyword rankings, conversion rate, and revenue from organic search. For Google Ads — cost per click, cost per acquisition, conversion rate, and return on ad spend (ROAS). For social media — engagement rate, follower growth, website traffic from social, and social commerce revenue. For web design — page speed, bounce rate, time on site, and conversion rate. We provide transparent monthly reports with dashboards showing exactly how every dirham is performing. If it can't be measured, we don't recommend it.
