An SEO scope you can review before committing
Before you commit, you see what we will do: who you want to reach, which pages we will improve and who makes each change.
Technical fixes
We check how Google sees your site and list the real problems, such as pages it cannot index, pages that compete with each other, slow pages and weak links between pages. Each fix gets an owner and a way to check it is done.
Pages that answer buying questions
We match what people search for to pages on your site, whether they want to hire, compare or learn. Key pages get a clearer description of what you do, useful examples and client feedback you have approved.
Measurement and handover
Before we start, we record clicks from searches that do not use your name, the pages we change and the enquiries your team marks as genuine. Each report says what we did, what is waiting on you and what the last full period shows.
Worked example: improve the offer before adding pages
A small accounting firm has five near-identical pages for tax, bookkeeping and payroll. Before writing more, we would work out who each page is for, rewrite the main service page around what those clients ask (price, who it suits, what happens first) and link the guides to it. This is an illustration, not a client result.
What decides the price?
The price depends on how many pages we work on, how technical the fixes are, how much content we research and write, and whether we change the site ourselves or hand fixes to your developer. Ask what is included and what costs extra. We set the scope after looking at your site. Nothing here promises a return or a ranking.
FAQ
Common questions about SEO
What to know before you get started.
My site has been 'doing SEO' for years and barely moved - why would working with you be any different?
We start with a forensic audit, not a checklist. Most agencies optimise the same 10% of a site - we find the technical debt, keyword cannibalization, duplicated English and Arabic pages, and crawl blockers nobody else is looking at. Then we fix them in order of revenue impact.
How do search engines actually decide who ranks first?
It comes down to three things working together: authority (backlinks from trusted, relevant sites), relevance (how precisely your content matches the searcher's intent), and technical health (speed, crawlability, structured data). For local searches in Dubai, Google Maps and Business Profile signals add another layer on top.
Can a business like ours rank against brands with massive SEO budgets?
In many cases, yes - strategically. Big brands and hospital groups in Dubai often neglect the keywords closest to booking. We find the gaps in their coverage, the long-tail queries with real intent in English and Arabic, and build authority there first.
What happens to our rankings if Google updates its algorithm?
We build to Google's published quality guidelines rather than short-term tricks, which is the safest way to handle updates. We watch for major updates, check your pages afterwards and tell you if anything needs to change.
Do you write the content or do we?
Both options are available. We can produce fully optimised English and Arabic content, collaborate with your team, or provide detailed briefs your writers can execute. For clinics, your medical team reviews every claim before it goes live. Either way, we own the work, not just the deliverables.
I've heard backlinks are everything. Is that still true?
Links still matter significantly - but quality has overtaken quantity. One editorial link from a respected UAE or industry publication is worth more than a hundred directory submissions. We build links you'd be proud to show a journalist.
How do you track whether SEO is actually making us money - not just moving our rankings?
We connect organic traffic to actual revenue through GA4 conversion tracking, assisted attribution modelling, and CRM data. You'll see calls, forms and WhatsApp enquiries, plus revenue in AED, broken down by organic source - not just a keyword rank report.
Can a single-location business realistically compete across the UAE?
Yes, but the approach is different. We identify UAE-wide keywords where your domain can realistically compete and pair them with local strategies for the Dubai areas you serve, so both feed enquiries at once. You don't have to choose one or the other.
What's the minimum time commitment to see meaningful results from SEO?
We recommend at least 6 months for meaningful compound data, and Ramadan and the summer slowdown can shift demand along the way. Month 3 sets up month 6. Month 6 sets up month 12. The businesses that gain most commit to the long game. We'll show you early signals long before then.
Do you handle technical SEO as well as content - or just one?
Both, always in parallel. Technical SEO (Core Web Vitals, crawl efficiency, schema markup, English and Arabic hreflang, redirect architecture) and content strategy run together in every engagement. One without the other is like a great story nobody can find.
