SEO & Competitor Audit

Week 1

Before touching a single title tag, we need to know exactly where you stand and why your competitors are outranking you.

📦 Deliverable: Prioritized SEO audit report with quick wins, medium-term opportunities, and long-term strategy

What We Do in This Step:
  • Full Screaming Frog crawl of your website — every URL, status code, and page element
  • Google Search Console review: impressions, clicks, crawl errors, and coverage issues
  • Top-3 competitor analysis: keywords they rank for, backlinks, content gaps, and technical advantages
  • Google Business Profile audit (if applicable): completeness score, review profile, category accuracy
  • Baseline ranking report: your current positions for 50+ target keywords
02

Keyword Research & Mapping

Week 1-2

We build a comprehensive keyword universe for your Dubai business — then map every keyword to a specific page.

📦 Deliverable: Full keyword map with search volumes, difficulty scores, and page assignments

What We Do in This Step:
  • Primary keyword research: high-volume, high-intent terms for your core services in Dubai
  • Long-tail keyword mining: micro-location terms ("service + Dubai neighborhood") with conversion intent
  • Commercial intent keywords: "hire X Dubai", "best X Dubai", "X cost UAE" searcher patterns
  • Arabic keyword research: equivalent Arabic search terms for bilingual targeting
  • Keyword-to-page mapping: assigns each keyword group a URL (existing or new page to create)
03

Technical SEO Fixes

Week 2-3

Remove every technical barrier between your website and page 1 rankings.

📦 Deliverable: Technical fixes implemented + before/after Lighthouse report

What We Do in This Step:
  • Core Web Vitals: Fix LCP, INP, and CLS issues for Google's Page Experience ranking factor
  • Crawlability: Fix broken links, redirect chains, blocked resources, and crawl budget waste
  • Indexation: Ensure key pages are indexed and misconfigured pages are excluded
  • Mobile optimization: Fix viewport, tap target, and mobile-specific rendering issues
  • Schema markup: Add LocalBusiness, Service, FAQPage, and BreadcrumbList JSON-LD
  • XML sitemap and robots.txt optimization
04

On-Page Optimization

Week 3-4

Optimize every existing page, then build new pages where keyword gaps exist.

📦 Deliverable: On-page optimization report + new landing pages live

What We Do in This Step:
  • Title tags and meta descriptions: keyword-rich, click-optimized, unique for every page
  • H1, H2, H3 heading hierarchy: clear structure with target keywords in relevant headings
  • Content optimization: add missing keywords, expand thin pages, add FAQ sections
  • Internal linking: strategic links between related service and location pages
  • Image optimization: descriptive alt tags, compressed file sizes, proper formats
  • New landing pages: location pages, service pages, and conversion pages targeting identified gaps
05

Google Business Profile & Local SEO

Week 4-5

For Dubai businesses, local SEO is often the fastest path to real leads — especially for location-specific services.

📦 Deliverable: Optimized GBP live + citation report + review generation playbook

What We Do in This Step:
  • GBP complete overhaul: keyword-optimized description, all service categories populated, business hours verified
  • Photo audit: minimum 15 high-quality photos uploaded (interior, exterior, team, service)
  • Weekly GBP posts: promotional content, service highlights, and geo-specific posts
  • Citation building: 30-50 consistent NAP listings across UAE directories
  • Review generation: systematic process to collect 5-star reviews with location mentions
  • Local schema: geo-coordinates, service area specification, opening hours markup
06

Content Creation

Month 2+

Content is the engine that compounds your SEO results over time — each article is a new keyword opportunity.

📦 Deliverable: Published content per agreed schedule + performance tracking per article

What We Do in This Step:
  • Service page content: detailed, targeted copy for each service + location combination
  • Blog articles: answer-based content targeting FAQ and informational keywords (2-4/month)
  • Location guides: neighborhood-specific content establishing local topical authority
  • Buyer intent content: comparison and "best X in Dubai" articles targeting commercial searches
  • Content calendar: planned 3 months in advance, tied to seasonal Dubai search trends
07

Link Building

Month 2+

Authoritative backlinks remain one of the top Google ranking factors — we earn them through legitimate outreach.

📦 Deliverable: Monthly link report showing all acquired backlinks with domain authority scores

What We Do in This Step:
  • UAE business directory submissions: Dubai Chamber, Yellow Pages UAE, Dubizzle Business, etc.
  • Industry directory listings: niche-specific directories relevant to your sector
  • Resource link building: create tools, guides, or data that other UAE sites want to reference
  • Digital PR: secure coverage in UAE business and trade publications
  • Broken link building: find dead links on UAE sites pointing to competitors and offer your content
08

Track, Report & Improve

Monthly

Every month, you receive a full performance report and a plan for the next 30 days.

📦 Deliverable: Monthly PDF report + 30-minute review call (Growth/Full-Service plans)
