Still with us after six months, with no contract keeping them
Most packages are priced on DR, and DR is easy to inflate. The cheap links come from sites with no real readers, little UAE traffic and a "write for us" page open to anyone. Google discounts those links, so rankings stay where they were.
Every site we propose passes the same eight checks before it reaches your approval list.

We'd bought links from two marketplaces before. Plenty of DR, no movement. In five months we went from zero to 14 page-one keywords for off‑plan searches, and I approved every single site before anyone pitched it.
Our English links barely moved Arabic rankings. Their native Arabic outreach did, within one quarter.
AED invoices with VAT, a dashboard our CFO can open himself, and WhatsApp replies the same morning. That's rarer than it should be.
Each sector has its own publishers, regulators and seasons. We plan around all three.
All industriesLocal publishers in every emirate, plus English and Arabic outreach across the GCC.
All locationsStraight answers on price, risk and process. Anything else goes straight to a strategist.

Our packages start at AED 5,900 a month for 5 links, about AED 1,180 per link. Growth is AED 10,900 for 10 links and Authority is AED 18,900 for 18. Prices exclude 5% VAT, and every invoice carries our TRN.
What you actually need depends on the gap between you and your competitors. The free audit sizes it before you spend anything.
No. Retainers run month to month, and you can pause or cancel with 30 days' notice. If you'd rather test us first, a one-off campaign gives you the same sites and reporting with no retainer.
Google's spam policies target links that exist only to pass ranking signals: private blog networks, link farms and sites that sell to anyone. Our eight checks exist to screen those out. We place links on real publications with real readers, in content that makes editorial sense, with natural anchor text.
Nobody can honestly guarantee rankings, and we won't. What we can do is show you every site before it's used, so you stay in control of the risk.
Yes, every one. You get a site list with DR, organic traffic, UAE traffic share and a recent article from each site. Nothing goes out until you approve it, and you can reject any site without giving a reason.
The audit arrives within 48 hours, and the first placements usually go live between day 7 and day 30. Rankings typically start moving 8 to 12 weeks after the first links are indexed, sooner for pages already on page two.
Competitive Dubai terms in real estate or finance take longer. Ramadan and Q4 slow some publishers down, so we plan the calendar around them.
Each placement appears in your live dashboard as it goes live, with the URL, anchor, DR, traffic and indexation status. Every month you also get a report on referring domains, rankings and organic traffic to your target pages, plus a 30-minute call with your strategist.
Yes. Native Arabic speakers handle the outreach, and the content is written in Arabic from the first draft. We place links on Arabic news, lifestyle and industry sites across the UAE, Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC, and can run English and Arabic campaigns side by side.
Domain Rating (DR) is Ahrefs' 0–100 score for the strength of a site's backlink profile. It's useful, but it can be inflated with cheap links, so a DR 60 site can have almost no readers.
Organic traffic, especially from your target country, shows that Google trusts the site and that people read it. We use DR as a filter and traffic as the deciding factor.
