Compare SEM agencies in Dubai by scope and measurement
Control Shift manages Google Ads and PPC campaigns for Dubai businesses. Management starts at AED 3,000 per month, with advertising spend separate. Agree your target locations, languages, landing pages and definition of a qualified lead before approving a campaign.
| Decision | What to agree | Evidence to request |
|---|---|---|
| Management fee and media budget | Separate agency fees, ad spend, landing-page work and tracking costs. | An itemised proposal and direct access to your advertising account. |
| English and Arabic campaigns | Search intent, geographic coverage, language-specific ads and matching landing pages. | An approved keyword plan, exclusions and examples of each language journey. |
| Lead quality and sales | Which calls, forms or purchases count, and how duplicate or unqualified leads are handled. | A tested conversion journey and reporting that distinguishes enquiries from qualified leads. |
| Campaign optimisation | Review search terms, landing pages, budgets and conversion quality on an agreed schedule. | A change log and reporting on spend, qualified leads, acquisition cost and revenue where measurable. |
Paid search can attract visitors while ads are eligible and funded. SEO develops organic visibility over time. Neither guarantees leads or a particular return. Choose a test budget using expected click costs, conversion rates and the value of a qualified enquiry; there is no universal minimum that fits every Dubai business.
