Request a paid media audit
Tell us what you run or what you want to achieve. A real person replies within 24 hours with a numbered plan, whether or not you hire us.
What to include
The five things that make the reply useful
You do not need a brief. A few lines on each of these lets us come back with specifics instead of questions.
- What you sell, to whom, and in which markets (Dubai only, UAE wide, Saudi Arabia, wider GCC).
- Whether ads are already running, on which platforms, and roughly what the monthly media budget is.
- What a good outcome looks like in your numbers: leads per month, cost per lead, return on ad spend, booked meetings, orders.
- Where leads currently land (form, WhatsApp, phone, CRM) so we can see how far tracking reaches.
- Anything that constrains the work: licences and permits, approval processes, language requirements, launch dates.
What happens next
From message to plan
Within 24 hours
A real person replies by email. If you shared account access or screenshots, the reply includes a numbered list of what is leaking spend and what we would fix first. If you shared targets without an account, it includes a budget range for your category and the channels we would start with.
A 30-minute call
If the fit looks right on both sides, we book a call to go through the findings, the budget and the first 90 days. You will speak to the people who would run the account, not a sales team.
A written plan
After the call you get a short plan: structure, tracking work, creative needs, budget split, reporting cadence and the management fee. You can take it to another agency or run it in-house. There is no obligation.
Who we are a fit for
We work best with businesses that already know what a lead or a sale is worth to them and want paid media run to that number: real estate developers and brokerages, business setup consultancies, clinics and hospital groups, schools, B2B and SaaS companies selling into the GCC, and ecommerce brands shipping in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. If you are earlier than that, the cost guides will help you decide whether paid media is the right next step, and the comparisons cover agency versus freelancer versus in-house.

Granting access for an audit, safely
You never need to share a password. In Google Ads, an admin can add our manager account with read-only access from Tools and settings, Access and security, and remove it with one click afterwards. In Meta Business Manager, partner access to the ad account can be limited to analyst permissions. For GA4, viewer access to the property is enough. LinkedIn Campaign Manager and TikTok Ads Manager have equivalent viewer roles. We will send the exact account IDs to add in our first reply.
If you would rather not grant access before a conversation, screenshots of the campaign overview, the conversion actions screen and the search terms report for the last 30 days are enough for a useful first pass. Either way, what you share is used only to prepare the audit and is deleted if we do not go ahead. Our privacy policy sets this out. If you prefer to talk first, book the call by email and bring the same three screens; we can walk through them together on a shared screen and you keep full control of the account throughout.
FAQ
Before you get in touch
Yes. We need read-only access to the ad account or screenshots of the campaign, ad group and conversion screens, plus your targets. Read-only access is granted from inside Google Ads or Meta Business Manager and can be removed at any time.
Media budgets that can produce repeatable results in Dubai usually start around AED 15,000 per month for service businesses and AED 25,000 for ecommerce. Our management fee is quoted separately after the audit. If your category needs more than you have, we will say so rather than take the engagement.
Yes. We run campaigns across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain from Dubai. Saudi campaigns are set up with SAR budgets, Arabic-first creative and local verification where the platforms require it.
SEO retainers, social media management, branding, standalone web design projects, influencer, PR and email marketing. We run paid media, fix the tracking behind it, improve the landing pages it sends traffic to, and report what it produced. If you need the rest, we will say so and point you elsewhere.
Yes. The number on this page is answered during Dubai business hours, Monday to Friday. For a first conversation, the form or an email is faster because it gives us the context to come back with something useful.
