Rank where your customers search. Technical SEO, local SEO and content strategy that put Dubai businesses at the top of Google — and keep them there.
SEO services in Dubai run from AED 2,500 a month with us, and every tier is published before you speak to anyone. We handle technical fixes, local SEO and Google Business Profile, content in Arabic and English, and the link work that moves a competitive term, from an employed team in our Al Garhoud office.
Most agencies here will not show you a number until you have sat through a discovery call. We would rather you self-qualify and arrive knowing whether we are in your range.
SEO in Dubai typically costs between AED 2,500 and AED 7,500 per month, depending on how competitive your category is, how large your site is, and how much content is included. One-off technical audits run AED 1,500 to 4,000.
| Tier | Monthly (AED) | Suited to |
|---|---|---|
| Local SEO | 2,500 | Single-location businesses competing in one area |
| Growth SEO | 4,500 | Businesses targeting service terms across Dubai |
| Competitive SEO | 7,500 | Crowded categories: real estate, clinics, e-commerce |
Anything under AED 1,500 a month is usually automated reporting with very little human work behind it. We compared nine Dubai agencies' published prices in our SEO cost in Dubai guide.
You will find bigger numbers in five minutes of searching. SEO Sherpa, which ranks on page one for this term, publishes a range of AED 5,000 to AED 40,000 per month for Dubai SEO. Our ceiling is their floor.
There are two reasons for the gap. Those larger ranges are built for enterprise scopes, meaning multi-market, multi-language retainers sized for an in-house team, and most Dubai businesses searching for SEO are not buying that. The second reason is that a published figure and a quoted figure behave differently. A range topping AED 40,000 is a negotiating position. AED 2,500 is a floor we will start work at.
Our range is a smaller scope, done properly. At AED 2,500 you get one focused piece of work rather than a diluted version of the AED 7,500 tier. The full breakdown is on our packages page.

A randomised study of 1,065 participants run by researchers at the Indian School of Business and Carnegie Mellon found that Google's AI Overviews cut organic clicks by 38% on the queries where they appear, with zero-click searches rising from 54% to 72%.
Ranking first still matters. What has changed is that ranking first and being the page the AI summary quotes are now two different jobs, and the second one is where the click survives. Getting quoted depends on whether a page answers a specific question in a liftable way, whether the claim has a source sitting next to it, and whether your business is described consistently across your site, your Google Business Profile and anywhere else that mentions you.
We build for both. Every page we write gets a direct answer to its own question in the opening lines, sources next to claims rather than in a list at the bottom, and structured data that tells Google what the business is without ambiguity.
Several Dubai agencies have started marketing "AEO" and "GEO" as separate products. It is the same discipline with better formatting rules, and it should be included in what you already pay for rather than invoiced as an upgrade.
Yes, and the Arabic is written rather than translated. That costs more, which is why most agencies quietly do the opposite.
Machine-translated Arabic reads as machine-translated to an Arabic-speaking buyer, and in the UAE that costs engagement immediately. It also fails at the part that matters for search. Arabic keyword research is not a translation of English keyword research: people search differently, the phrasing is different, and the intent behind a term often does not map one to one.
Our COO is trilingual in Arabic, French and English, which is why Arabic work here is produced in-house. If you want a bilingual site that performs in both languages rather than one that merely exists in both, ask any agency you are considering a single question. Who writes the Arabic, and are they doing keyword research in it or translating the English list?
Three to six months before movement is readable, and closer to nine on a competitive term. Anyone quoting faster is either working in a category with no competition or counting impressions as results.
The first month is audit, fixes and setup, and it produces no visible ranking change at all. Month two or three is where technical corrections start showing up in how Google crawls and understands the site. From month four the content and link work begins compounding, and that is the point at which the curve either turns up or tells you something is wrong.
We work on a three-month recommended minimum for that reason, with no lock-in beyond it. Judging SEO at week six measures the setup, not the work.
If customers find you by searching for something near them, you need local SEO first. If they search for a service without a location attached, organic SEO is where the work goes.
Local SEO covers your Google Business Profile, your map pack position, your reviews and your consistency across listings. It compounds, and once it is set up correctly it costs little to maintain. Organic SEO is your pages competing on their own merit against every other page targeting the same term.
Most Dubai businesses need both, in that order. A clinic in Al Garhoud gets more from ranking in the map pack for its neighbourhood than from a blog post competing nationally. An e-commerce brand shipping across the UAE gets the opposite.
If your customers search near where you are, not just what you do, our guide to local SEO in Dubai covers what it costs and how it differs from the organic SEO above.
Every tier includes technical audit and fixes, on-page optimisation, Google Business Profile management, keyword research, content, and monthly reporting. What changes between tiers is volume and how competitive the terms are that we go after.
Crawl errors, site speed, mobile rendering, indexation, schema markup. The unglamorous work that decides whether anything else has a chance.
Titles, meta descriptions, heading structure, internal linking, and the answer formatting that decides whether a page gets quoted.
Categories, service lists, posts, photos, review responses, and consistent name, address and phone details across listings.
Written for your market, in your language, targeting terms your buyers use rather than terms with impressive volume and no intent.
Earned placements and digital PR. No purchased link networks, which work until they do not, and then they take the site with them.
Leads, enquiries and revenue where we can track them. Impressions and reach measure activity.
Ask what they will do in month one and listen for specifics. A vague answer means the work starts when you chase. A specific one, covering audit, fixes, keyword map and content calendar, means there is a process behind the pitch.
Four more questions worth asking anyone, ourselves included:
We cannot promise you a number one ranking, and neither can anyone else. What we will tell you before you commit is which terms we think are reachable for your site and which are not, and why.
Real estate, hospitality and F&B, clinics and medical, e-commerce, professional services and startups. These are the sectors where a Dubai search has a buyer behind it rather than a browser.
We have published case studies across IT services, executive search, fintech, trading and F&B, and every one links to the live site so you can judge the work rather than read a description of it. They are on our portfolio page.

If you run ads alongside SEO, your ad budget goes directly to Google or Meta and never passes through our account.
More customers now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google AI which business to use. Our GEO service gets your business named in those answers, with published prices: AED 1,500 a month on top of any SEO package, or from AED 3,500 on its own. It starts with a free AI visibility check.
Between AED 2,500 and AED 7,500 per month with us, published by tier above. Market-wide the range runs far higher, with some Dubai agencies publishing up to AED 40,000 per month for enterprise scopes.
Three to six months for readable movement, nine on competitive terms. Month one produces no visible change because it is audit and fixes.
They reduce clicks on affected queries, where a randomised study measured a 38% drop. The response is building pages that get quoted inside the summary.
Written. Arabic keyword research is done separately in Arabic rather than translated from an English list.
Local SEO targets map pack and neighbourhood searches through your Google Business Profile. Organic SEO competes for service terms on the strength of your pages.
They answer different problems. Ads stop the day you stop paying. SEO compounds but takes months. Most businesses spending seriously on ads should be building organic alongside.
No, and an agency that does is either misunderstanding how Google works or hoping you do.
Yes, in every tier. For most single-location Dubai businesses it produces results faster than on-site work.
Rankings decay gradually. Technical fixes and content stay. Momentum on competitive terms does not.
Yes, across the UAE. On-site content shoots are limited to Dubai and the Northern Emirates.
