When someone in Dubai searches for a dentist near me or an Italian restaurant in JLT, Google shows a map and three businesses before anything else. If yours is not one of them, or it is there with old hours, no photos and an unanswered one star review, you are losing customers to the clinic or restaurant next door. Local SEO is the work of fixing that and keeping it fixed.
We set up and manage your Google Business Profile properly, build the location and service pages on your website that Google uses to decide who appears, keep your name, address and phone number consistent everywhere, and give you a simple way to collect and answer reviews. It is unglamorous and it works best when it is done every week, so we do it every week.
We have built websites for clinics, restaurants, real estate firms and schools in the UAE and India, and local search is where most of their customers start.
What is included
- Google Business Profile claimed, verified, completed and cleaned up, including categories, services, attributes and opening hours
- Photos, posts and products or menus added to the profile and kept current
- Location and service pages on your website, one per branch and one per core service, with local business schema
- Name, address and phone number made consistent across Google, Apple Maps, Bing, directories and social profiles
- Review requests set up by QR code, WhatsApp or email, with a short process your staff can actually follow
- Every review answered in your voice within an agreed time, including the difficult ones
- Spam listings and fake reviews reported, duplicate profiles merged or removed
- Multi branch management from one account for clinics, restaurants and retailers with several locations
- A monthly report showing profile views, calls, direction requests, website clicks and review counts
How it works
1. Audit
We check your current profile against the businesses that appear above you for your main searches, test your name, address and phone details across the web, and read your reviews. You get the gaps in writing.
2. Plan
A list of profile fixes, the pages to build, the review process to put in place and the monthly rhythm, with a fixed fee.
3. Set up
Profile completed, duplicates removed, location pages built with schema, the review request flow live, and tracking set up so calls and direction requests are counted.
4. Run
Weekly: new photos and posts, review responses, questions and answers kept current, listings checked. Monthly: new local content and a check on what competitors have changed.
5. Report
A monthly report shows what we did, how the profile performed in Google's own data and what the reviews are saying about the business. We flag operational problems too, because customers often tell Google before they tell you.
My Google Business Profile is suspended or I cannot verify it. Can you help?
Yes. Suspensions and verification problems are common in Dubai, especially for businesses in shared offices, free zones or without a street sign. We handle the appeal and the evidence Google asks for, and we tell you upfront when a listing is unlikely to be restored.
Does local SEO replace normal SEO?
No, they work together. Local SEO is about the map results and your profile. SEO is about the website appearing for the searches that are not tied to a place. A business with one branch in Dubai usually needs both, and we scope them together so nothing is done twice.
Can you manage reviews for a multi branch business?
Yes. We set up each branch as its own location under one account, apply the same categories and hours rules, and answer reviews from one place.
Will you write fake reviews or buy them?
No. It breaks Google's rules, it can get the profile removed, and customers can tell. We make it easy for genuine customers to leave a review and we answer every one.
Who does the work?
Review responses, local knowledge and your monthly review come from the Dubai team. Location pages, schema and reporting are shared with our development team in India. You have one point of contact in Dubai.
What do you need from us?
Ownership access to your Google Business Profile, your trade licence for verification, good photos or a morning to take them, and a manager who tells us about changes to hours, menus or services before customers find out the hard way.
