The business

A Dubai digital marketing agency in Barsha Heights with over ten years in the market, covering social media management, SEO, web design and PPC for a UAE client base.

This site is no longer online.

The brief

Own SEO, web and paid performance, the unglamorous engineering work that decides whether content ever gets a chance to rank.

What was in the way

  1. Content was being published into a WordPress structure that made it hard to find and harder to index.
  2. Google Ads spend was landing on pages that did not match the promise made in the ad.
  3. Core Web Vitals failures were suppressing pages that had genuinely useful content on them.
  4. Keyword targeting was chasing volume instead of intent, pulling in traffic that never converted.

What I did

  1. Revamped the WordPress site end to end

    Structure, navigation, internal linking and page hierarchy rebuilt so that both crawlers and humans reached the important pages in fewer steps. User experience and traffic both moved 21%.

  2. Ran full technical audits

    Indexation, crawl behaviour, schema markup and Core Web Vitals, with a fix list ordered by impact rather than by ease of implementation.

  3. Aligned ads to landing pages

    Google Ads campaigns restructured with a CRO lens, cutting wasted spend by making every click land on a page that answered the query it came from.

  4. Rewrote keyword strategy around intent

    Content frameworks and targeting shifted toward queries that indicated a buying decision, not just a search volume figure.
