GIMSEO offers website design and SEO services in the UAE for companies that need a professional, fast website in English, Arabic or both, set up from the start to be found on Google. We work with businesses in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain, from mainland trading companies to free zone start-ups.

We’re a small remote team based in Sialkot, Pakistan, one hour ahead of UAE time, so our working day lines up closely with yours. You get a written quote in dirhams, a clear plan and direct contact with the person building your site.

Website design, SEO and marketing services

  • Company websites. Custom WordPress websites for service companies, consultancies and trading firms, built so your team can update them without a developer.
  • Online stores. Shopify or WooCommerce stores with clear product pages, delivery options across the emirates and payment gateways that work in the UAE. See Shopify store design.
  • English and Arabic websites. Bilingual sites with proper right-to-left layouts, Arabic fonts that read well and a separate address for each language.
  • SEO. Keyword research in English and Arabic, on-page fixes, content and technical work. See SEO services.
  • Local SEO. Google Business Profile work and area pages so you appear when people nearby search for what you offer. See local SEO.
  • Google Ads and social ads. Search, Instagram and Facebook campaigns with lead tracking. See Google Ads management.

Bilingual Arabic and English websites

Many UAE customers search in English, many search in Arabic, and plenty switch between the two. A good bilingual website is more than a translation plugin:

  • A proper right-to-left layout for Arabic pages, with menus, forms and icons mirrored correctly
  • Arabic web fonts chosen for readability on phones
  • A separate address for each language and hreflang tags, so Google shows the right version to each searcher
  • A language switcher that takes visitors to the same page in the other language, not back to the homepage
  • Page titles and descriptions written for each language, not copied across

We work with your translator, or arrange professional Arabic translation for you. Translation is quoted separately so you can see exactly what it costs.

Websites for UAE businesses

  • Real estate brokers. Listing pages, area guides for communities like Dubai Marina, Business Bay or Al Reem Island, and enquiry forms. Property adverts in Dubai usually need their DLD advertising permit shown, so we leave a place for it on each listing.
  • Clinics and medical centres. Treatments, doctors, insurance accepted and online booking. Medical advertising in the UAE needs approval from the relevant health authority, so we keep claims within what has been approved.
  • Contractors and maintenance companies. AC maintenance, cleaning, fit-out and facility management: service pages, the areas you cover and a quick WhatsApp or call button.
  • Restaurants and cafés. Menus in English and Arabic, delivery app links, opening hours and location pins.
  • Trading and B2B companies. Product catalogues, brand pages and quote requests for distributors, suppliers and free zone companies. See B2B website development.
  • Online brands. Stores built for shoppers across the GCC, with clear delivery times, returns and cash-on-delivery where you offer it.

Local SEO in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah

The UAE has no postcodes, so Google relies on your business name, area, map pin and website to understand where you are and who you serve. That makes a few things matter more than they would elsewhere:

  • A Google Business Profile with your exact map pin, area name, building and opening hours, in English and Arabic
  • Pages for the areas and emirates you genuinely serve, written about each one
  • The same company name, phone number and address on your website, your profile and directories
  • Reviews from real customers, and a reply to every one
  • LocalBusiness schema that spells out your address, hours and service area

UAE rules we build your website around

We can’t give legal advice, but we set your site up so these are straightforward to check with your adviser:

  • Data protection. A privacy notice and consent wording in line with the UAE data protection law (PDPL), or the DIFC or ADGM rules if your company is registered there.
  • Company details. Your company name exactly as it appears on your trade licence, plus your licence details where they are needed.
  • .ae domains. Registered in your company’s name through an accredited registrar, so you always control it.
  • Online shops. Clear prices, delivery, returns and refund terms, written for your adviser to review.

Website design and SEO prices in dirhams

Websites don’t have a set price, because a five-page company site and a bilingual online store with hundreds of products are different jobs. After a free call you get a fixed written quote in dirhams that lists every page and feature. Website projects are paid 50% to start and 50% before launch.

SEO is a monthly plan, billed in dirhams, with a six-month minimum term and 30 days’ notice after that.

Questions UAE businesses ask us

Where is GIMSEO based?

We’re based in Sialkot, Pakistan, one hour ahead of UAE time, and work with UAE companies remotely. We don’t have a UAE office.

Yes. We build bilingual English and Arabic sites with right-to-left layouts. We work with your translator or arrange professional translation, quoted separately.

Do you work with free zone companies?

Yes. We work with mainland and free zone companies across all seven emirates.

Which payment gateways can my online store use?

That depends on your platform and your licence. We set up the gateway you choose and test the full checkout before launch.

How long does a website take?

A company website usually takes a few weeks once we have your content and photos. Bilingual sites and online stores take longer, and your quote includes a timeline.
