Arabic and English as separate campaigns
Arabic search behaves differently from English in the same market — different query length, different intent, different cost. It gets its own campaigns and its own budget, not a translated afterthought.
UAE search is bilingual, seasonal and unusually expensive per click — and a large share of it ends in a phone call rather than a form. From our Business Bay office in Dubai, we run Arabic and English search side by side, structure Shopping and Performance Max around real margin, and track calls as conversions so you can see which keywords actually produced business.
How We Work Here
Arabic search behaves differently from English in the same market — different query length, different intent, different cost. It gets its own campaigns and its own budget, not a translated afterthought.
Across the Gulf a large share of high-value enquiries arrive by phone. Call tracking and call extensions are wired in from day one so the bidding algorithm optimises toward them.
Feeds segmented by contribution margin so the budget flows to products that are actually worth selling, rather than whatever happens to convert cheapest.
Asset groups split by product economics and search themes, with brand excluded where it should be, so PMax does not simply harvest demand you already had.
In a market this dense, competitors bid on your name. Brand campaigns are structured to hold position without overpaying for traffic you would have won anyway.
Spend, cost per qualified enquiry and blended return reported in AED and reconciled against your own sales records.
