What everything costs

Most agencies in this market will not publish a price. We do, because the first question every business asks is what it costs, and making you sit through a call to find out wastes your time and ours.

Not sure which you need?

Most businesses need one or two of these, not all six. Here is the short version.

Where we work

We work across all seven emirates, and the strategy genuinely changes between them. Competition in Dubai is a different problem from competition in Fujairah, and pretending otherwise is how agencies sell the wrong thing.

Dubai The most competitive market in the country. Highest click costs, fastest creative fatigue, and the longest road to organic rankings. Abu Dhabi Government, healthcare and education dominate. More businesses selling to organisations than to residents, which changes the strategy entirely. Sharjah Industry, trading and logistics. Many buyers are outside the emirate, so national and export visibility often matters more than the map pack. Ajman Meaningfully cheaper to compete in than Sharjah, for nearly the same audience. Free zone companies need a different approach entirely. Ras Al Khaimah Three separate economies: tourism around Jebel Jais, RAKEZ industry, and local services. Each needs its own strategy. Fujairah One of the least contested search markets in the UAE. The same budget reaches the top three far faster here than in Dubai.

How we work

We audit before we quoteYou get a written audit of your current search visibility or ad account before either side commits to anything. It is yours whether you work with us or not.
We publish our pricesEvery service page on this site carries our starting price and the UAE market benchmarks beside it. You will know what things cost before you speak to us.
We report on enquiriesSpend, leads, cost per lead. Rankings and reach are context, not results, and they do not go on the front page of a report.
We tell you when to spend elsewhereIf your budget would do more in a different channel, a different emirate, or fixing your website first, we will say so on the first call.

What we will not do. We will not guarantee rankings, because nobody controls Google’s algorithm. We will not take an account at a budget our own forecast says cannot work. And we will not keep you on a retainer if the work is not producing results, and we will say so before you have to ask.

Questions we get asked

What does Vertex Media charge?

Retainers start at AED 1,999 per month across SEO, Google Ads, Meta Ads and reputation management. Web design and Shopify builds start at AED 1,999 as a project fee. Automation is AED 2,999 to build, then AED 1,999 per month. Larger or more complex work is quoted after a scoping call. Every service page publishes the UAE market benchmarks alongside our price so you can see where we sit.

Which emirates do you work in?

All seven. Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain. Competition and cost vary considerably between them, and we will tell you honestly where your budget goes furthest.

Should I start with SEO or paid ads?

Paid ads if you need enquiries within weeks, or if you are testing whether demand exists. SEO if you can wait three to six months and want cost per lead to fall over time. Most businesses eventually run both, with paid creating immediate flow and SEO reducing the dependency on it.

How long does SEO take in the UAE?

Map pack movement in 8 to 12 weeks, competitive organic terms in three to six months, and longer in Dubai. Anyone promising page one in 30 days is either targeting keywords nobody searches or about to do something that will cost you later.

What is the minimum ad budget worth running?

Around AED 3,000 per month in ad spend for both Meta and Google, and more in competitive Dubai verticals. Below that, the platforms cannot gather enough conversion data to optimise, so costs stay high and results stay inconsistent. Our management fee sits on top of ad spend, not inside it.

Do you work in Arabic as well as English?

Yes, written rather than translated. Around 40 percent of UAE audiences prefer Arabic, and Arabic campaigns and search terms consistently carry less competition and lower costs than the English equivalents.

Are you the same as the other agencies called Vertex?

No. Several businesses in Dubai share the name. We are Vertex Media Marketing at vertexmedia.ae, based in Dubai, reachable on the number in the section above.

Do you tie clients into long contracts?

No. We work month to month on a defined scope. If the work is not producing results we will tell you before you have to ask, and you are free to leave with everything we built.
