Build

Priced after we have looked, not before.

The same three words — "we need SEO" — can mean a two-week audit or a year of work across four teams, so the figure that matters is the one that comes after we have looked. The numbers below are honest starting points: enough to tell you whether we are in your range before you spend an hour finding out.

Four ways to work with us

Every one of them starts by measuring, and every one of them puts the plan in writing before anybody does the work. What changes is the shape and the length.

  1. Audit

    You think something is wrong and you want it measured before you spend anything else on it.

    fromAED 1,200 one-off
    Book an audit

    What you get

    • Measurement of what is happening now — traffic, rankings, spend
    • What the site does to the people who reach it
    • Findings written down, not delivered in a call and forgotten
    • A prioritised list of what to fix, in order
    • A walkthrough, so you can argue with the conclusions

  2. Project

    A defined piece of work with an end: a site build, a brand refresh, a packaging run, a launch campaign.

    fromAED 4,000 per project
    Scope a project

    Everything in Audit, plus

    • Fixed scope agreed up front
    • A written plan before anyone starts
    • One price for the work, not an hourly meter
    • Handover, so you are not tied to us afterwards
  3. Built for compounding work

    Retainer

    Ongoing work where the compounding matters: search, paid media, social, email, marketplace management.

    fromAED 2,000 per month
    Talk about a retainer

    Everything in Project, plus

    • An agreed scope per month, reviewed as things change
    • Reporting against the plan, not around it
    • Scope scales with the size of the problem
    • No minimum term — 30 days notice, either way

  4. Partner

    Several service areas running together, under one plan, because the parts affect each other.

    Quoted scoped with you
    Start a conversation

    Everything in Retainer, plus

    • One plan across search, paid media, creative, commerce and build
    • A single point of contact across all of it
    • Quarterly review against the plan, not just monthly reporting
    • Priority on turnaround when something is burning

Figures are starting points, not fixed prices — every engagement is quoted after a conversation. We are not VAT registered, so no VAT is added — the figure you agree is the figure you are invoiced.

What differs between them

The rows that are the same across every tier are the point: measurement first, the plan in writing, and your accounts staying yours. What changes is length, cadence and breadth.

Packages

The combinations people actually ask for. Each total is simply the services added together at their own starting rates — there is no bundle markup, and no discount hidden behind a longer contract. Mix them differently if that suits you better.

Every month

One-off

Totals assume no discount and are floors, like everything else here. A combination that spans several areas is usually quoted as one Partner engagement rather than as separate invoices. See what is in each package.

What the fee is not

The three things buyers in this market get caught by most often, answered before you have to ask.

What sits inside each area

24 services across four areas. An engagement can be one of them or all of them — most use more than one, because the parts affect each other.

What we need in order to quote

  • What you are trying to grow, and by when
  • What you have tried already, and what happened
  • Access to whatever data exists — analytics, ad accounts, Search Console
  • Who internally will own the work with us
  • A rough budget band, so we can tell you quickly if it is not a fit

Why does every price say "from"?

Because the same three words — "we need SEO" — can mean a two-week audit or a year of work across four teams. The figures are honest floors: they tell you whether we are in your range before you spend an hour on a call, and the real number comes after we have looked at your situation. An agency that quotes a fixed price without looking is quoting a guess.

Is ad spend included in those figures?

No, and it should not be. The media budget goes to Google, Meta, TikTok or Amazon from your own account, and we take no margin on it. Our fee covers the work. Bundling the two is common enough in this market that it is worth saying plainly: we do not do it, and you can see exactly what the platforms charge you.

What do you need in order to quote?

What you are trying to grow and by when; what you have tried already and what happened; access to whatever data exists — analytics, ad accounts, Search Console; who internally will own the work with us; and a rough budget band, so we can tell you quickly if it is not a fit.

Do we keep our own accounts and data?

Yes. We work in your accounts, not ours, across every service on the list. You keep the data and the access when the engagement ends, and handover documentation comes as standard rather than as a parting negotiation.

What happens after an audit? Are we committed to anything?

No. An audit ends with findings written down and a prioritised list of what to fix. Whether we do that work, you do it, or nobody does it is your call. The audit is useful on its own — that is the point of measuring before advising.

Can we start with one service and add more later?

Yes, and most engagements end up using more than one, because the parts affect each other — paid media reveals what organic should target, and a site build decides what either can achieve. Adding a service does not restart the engagement.

How long is a retainer commitment?

There is no minimum term. A retainer runs month to month with 30 days notice on either side, so the longest you can ever be committed for is the month you are in. Most agencies in this market ask for three to six months up front; we would rather you stayed because the reporting is worth reading.

Tell us the problem and we will price it.
