Initial Challenges
A reputable real estate developer with projects in Downtown Dubai. Its website brought in few enquiries. Ads were getting clicks that did not become leads, and the site did not appear for the searches buyers were making.
The goal was to reach buyers and investors who were ready to act and make it easy for them to enquire. The real challenge was to compete with large developers for the same keywords while keeping the cost per lead under control.
The Real Pain Points
High Ad Spend, Few Leads
Ads ran without a clear plan. Keywords like "Dubai apartments" were too broad. Budget went to rental seekers and casual browsers who were never going to buy. The cost per lead kept rising.
Landing Pages That Did Not Convert
Ads sent visitors to the home page. The message did not match the ad. Payment plans, unit types and brochures were hard to find, and the enquiry form was hidden. Most visitors left without taking action.
Poor Search Rankings
Key pages were not indexed. Important keywords were missing from titles and metadata. They did not appear for searches like "apartments for sale in Downtown Dubai" or "off-plan properties in Downtown Dubai."
Weak Site Structure
The website had few internal links. There were no dedicated pages for each project, unit type or area. Search engines struggled to crawl it, and buyers struggled to compare options.
Our Solutions
PPC Campaign Management: We rebuilt the ad account from the ground up. Keywords were grouped by project, unit type and buyer intent. A strong negative keyword list cut out renters and job seekers. Ads targeted investors and buyers in the UAE and in key overseas markets. We tested ad copy and creatives every month. Conversion tracking showed which clicks became leads, so budget moved to the best performers.
Landing Page Optimization: We built a dedicated landing page for each project and campaign. Each page matched its ad and showed the price range, payment plan, floor plans and a brochure download. A short enquiry form and a WhatsApp button made it easy to get in touch. We tested layouts and buttons to raise the number of visitors who enquired.
Technical SEO & Indexing: We fixed crawl errors and 404 pages. We set up an XML sitemap, robots.txt and canonical tags. Key pages got optimized meta titles, descriptions and schema markup. We submitted the important pages through Search Console for faster indexing.
On-Page SEO & Content: We planned keywords for every project, unit type and area page. Headings (H1 - H3) and page content were improved. Internal links were rebuilt to guide search engines and buyers to the key pages. We also published blogs on Downtown Dubai living, off-plan buying, payment plans and investment returns. These answered buyer questions and led readers to the project pages.
