Dubai has some of the highest Google Ads CPCs in the world. AED 40 to AED 90 per click in competitive categories. We build paid media programmes that eliminate wasted spend and convert UAE buyers across Google, Meta, and TikTok in both languages.
Illustrative ROAS from UAE client accounts
Brands we have grown across the UAE and beyond
Generic paid media playbooks lose money in the UAE. Three structural realities make this market unlike any other for advertisers.
The UAE consistently ranks among the most expensive paid search markets globally. In healthcare, legal, and real estate, CPCs regularly hit AED 60 to AED 90 per click. Every poorly structured campaign in this market costs three to five times more than it should. Precise match types, tightly themed ad groups, and an aggressive negative keyword strategy are not optional extras here. They are the difference between a profitable account and a budget that drains in a week.
Arabic-language campaigns in the UAE are not just translated English campaigns. Search intent, ad messaging, and landing page expectations differ significantly between English and Arabic audiences. A hospitality brand targeting 'luxury hotel Dubai' in English and its Arabic equivalent is reaching two distinct buyer mindsets. Brands that run bilingual paid media with native Arabic creative consistently outperform single-language campaigns on both CTR and conversion rate.
The UAE has one of the highest smartphone penetration rates in the world. The majority of paid media clicks in Dubai happen on mobile. Ad creative, landing pages, and checkout flows that are not built mobile-first lose conversions that desktop-optimised campaigns cannot recover. Load speed, tap target sizes, and single-field lead forms are not UX preferences in this market. They are revenue variables.
Each sector has different CPC benchmarks, different audience behaviour, and different conversion patterns. We have managed active UAE campaigns across all of them.
Google Hotel Ads, branded search defence, and local search campaigns for restaurants and hotels in Dubai. Meta remarketing to past website visitors with time-sensitive offers. We build audience funnels that move undecided browsers from discovery to reservation without requiring a coupon.
Medical categories in the UAE carry some of the highest CPCs on the platform alongside strict advertising policy requirements. We build campaigns that prioritise lead quality over raw volume, ensuring the enquiries your team receives are genuinely qualified. Every creative is reviewed for compliance with UAE healthcare advertising rules before going live.
Google Shopping and Performance Max campaigns built around Arabic and English product feeds optimised for UAE search intent. Dynamic remarketing to cart abandoners and product page visitors. We calibrate Shopping bids at the product-category level so high-margin items get proportionally more budget.
Education paid media in the UAE is intensely seasonal around enrolment windows. We build campaign architectures that ramp spend aggressively during peak decision periods and pull back efficiently in low-intent months. Arabic parent targeting is built natively into every school campaign from day one.
B2B lead generation across Google Search and LinkedIn for consultancies, law firms, and financial advisors operating in DIFC and Downtown Dubai. We layer in intent-based keyword strategies on Google with decision-maker targeting on LinkedIn to reach the same prospects at two different points in their research cycle.
Financial services advertising in the UAE requires navigating both Google and Meta ad policies around investment products, lending, and financial advice. We have built compliant campaign architectures for payment platforms, digital banks, and investment apps that convert without triggering policy restrictions. Trust-building creative is at the centre of every financial services campaign we run.
From audit to live campaigns. Here is exactly how your PPC agency in Dubai builds, launches, and optimises a paid media programme.
Full review of existing account structure, wasted spend identification, and competitor ad analysis across Google and Meta in both English and Arabic SERPs. You get a prioritised action list with estimated impact before we touch a single campaign. If you do not have an existing account, we complete a market entry audit covering competitor spend patterns and CPC benchmarks for your category.
New campaign structure built around intent stages, match types calibrated to UAE search behaviour, and negative keyword lists that stop budget bleeding from day one. Arabic campaigns are built in parallel with English, not added as an afterthought. Every ad group is themed tightly around a single intent signal so Quality Scores start high and improve with data.
Ad copy in English and Arabic written by native speakers, not translation tools. Creative brief for visual assets if Meta or display campaigns are in scope. Landing page recommendations to improve conversion rate before spend scales. We flag every conversion tracking gap before launch so no data is lost from the first click.
Weekly bid reviews, audience refinement, and A/B testing of ad copy and creative. Monthly reporting showing ROAS, CPA, impression share, and Quality Score movement across every campaign in both languages. No black-box dashboards. You see exactly which keywords, audiences, and creatives are driving revenue and at what cost.
No vague retainer descriptions. Here is the full scope of what every Percee Dubai PPC programme covers from day one.

Lead volume tripled with CPL held flat by cutting high-CPC broad terms

Direct booking revenue from paid media grew 2.4x after Meta and Google were unified
