SEO
Technical, local, e-com: the full stack that moves rankings.
The full SEO stack for UAE brands: technical, content, local, e-commerce, and links, delivered by one team from Business Bay. Every retainer starts with an audit and ships against a 90-day scoreboard tied to leads and revenue, not keyword rank on its own.
Outcome
Rank for money terms · monthly reports
Every SEO engagement leads with the metric it moves, not a keyword screenshot.
The problem
UAE SEO isn't Western SEO with a currency change.
The Emirates buy differently. Bilingual queries (English + Arabic + transliterated), a local pack that favours GBP-native businesses, Ramadan and DSF seasonality, and a tolerance for aggressive brand-search behaviour. Most agencies apply a US-shaped playbook and wonder why revenue stays flat. We built ZiRank around what actually moves organic revenue for Dubai and UAE brands.

Pricing
How much does SEO cost in Dubai?
It depends on your site, your competitors, and the scope you need, so we price it after a short look at your business rather than guess in public. Tell us what you're working with and we'll come back with a number.
Straight answers
Questions we hear about SEO.
-
How long until we see rankings move?
Technical wins land in weeks. Ranking shifts on money terms typically start at 6 to 12 weeks, depending on competition, then compound from there. Every plan includes a 90-day scoreboard so you know what to expect at each check-in.
-
Do you offer ranking guarantees?
No, because no honest SEO agency can. Google's algorithm isn't ours to control. What we do guarantee: a fixed deliverables list per plan, monthly reports with your numbers in AED, and month-to-month contracts so you can leave if we don't deliver.
-
Do you handle Arabic-language SEO?
Yes, bilingual queries are how the UAE actually searches. Full RTL Arabic, transliterated variants (e.g. "shukran" vs "شكرا"), Gulf-specific dialect terms, and hreflang implementation are all in scope.
-
What's included in the monthly report?
Rankings for your money terms, organic traffic + conversion breakdown, revenue tied to organic sessions (when GA4/CRM allow), technical health delta, links landed, GBP metrics, and next month's priorities on a single page.
-
Can you handle a site migration without losing rankings?
Yes, this is exactly where having our own engineers pays off. We do the redirect map, the technical implementation, the pre and post crawl, the schema preservation, and the CWV re-baseline as one team. No 3-vendor blame games.
-
White-hat only, or do you use anything grey?
White-hat only. Every link vetted against 7 criteria (real traffic, DR floor, niche match, do-follow, indexed, clean outbound, non-spammy). No PBNs, no link farms, no cloaking, no deceptive content.
