Frequently Asked Questions

Questions I get asked before the first call.

Everything you need to know about working together: how I work, what I charge, who I work with, and what to expect. If your question is not here, WhatsApp me directly.

Working with me
Do you work with clients outside Dubai?
Yes. I work across the UAE, in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah, in person when useful and remote when that works better.
What verticals do you specialise in?
Real estate (off-plan, residential, GCC and international buyer targeting), aesthetics and medical clinics, and e-commerce. All three verticals share the same core problems: weak technical foundations and content that doesn’t match how people actually search. The fix is the same methodology regardless of niche.
How does the free WhatsApp review work?
WhatsApp me and I will ask for read access to Google Search Console and Analytics. Within 24 hours I will send you a written breakdown of what is broken: technical issues, indexation gaps, AI-readiness problems, and what each issue is costing you in visibility. No pitch. No pressure.
What results can I expect and how quickly?
SEO and AI-search results build over months, not days. Realistic expectation: technical fixes implemented within week 1–2, initial ranking movement from week 4–6 onward. Meaningful visibility gains typically compound by month 2–3 once the technical foundation is fully in place and content architecture is live.
Prior Performance Marketing Work (Meta & Google Ads)
What are Meta Ads and how do they work?
Meta Ads are paid campaigns run across Facebook and Instagram through Meta Ads Manager. You set a budget, define an audience, and Meta’s algorithm shows your ad to people predicted to take the action you’re optimising for: a lead, a purchase, a booking. The algorithm learns from conversion signals it receives back from your site, which is exactly why signal quality (see Meta CAPI below) determines how well it performs.
What is Meta CAPI?
CAPI (Conversions API) sends conversion data directly from your server to Meta, bypassing iOS privacy restrictions and ad blockers. A properly configured CAPI raises your signal match score from 4–5 to 8–9, giving the algorithm accurate data to optimise toward real buyers. Most accounts run at 40–60% signal quality without it. I get clients to 85–95%. See how a tracking and CAPI audit works.
How do you reduce CPL on Meta Ads?
The fastest CPL reduction comes from fixing tracking first, not testing new creatives. Duplicate pixel events, missing CAPI, and poor signal quality mean the algorithm is optimising on wrong data. Fix the signal stack, the algorithm recalibrates, CPL drops. See a real example: 61% CPL reduction in 47 days.
Do you manage Google Ads as well?
Yes. Google Ads is included in the Growth and Enterprise tiers. Search campaigns for high-intent buyer keywords. Performance Max for cross-channel coverage. Google Ads works best paired with Meta: Meta builds latent demand, Google captures it when the buyer is ready to act.
What does “verified CPL” mean?
It means the CPL figure is pulled directly from Meta Ads Manager as an export: Total Amount Spent divided by Total Leads, for a specific date range, from a specific account. Not an estimate. Not a benchmark. The platform number.
Pricing and commercial
What does the monthly fee cover?
Technical SEO implementation and monitoring, AEO/GEO content architecture, entity and schema work, AI citation tracking, monthly performance reporting, and direct WhatsApp access to me.
Is pricing based on a percentage of anything?
No. Flat monthly fee only, regardless of your business size or scope. I have no incentive to inflate the work or manufacture recurring tasks.
Why is the minimum 3 months?
SEO and AI-search results compound over time. Google needs to recrawl, reindex, and re-evaluate your site multiple times before ranking changes stabilise. Month 1 is technical implementation. Month 2 is when early signals emerge. Month 3 is when there’s enough data to see real movement.
Do you guarantee rankings?
No. Anyone guaranteeing a specific ranking position before auditing your site is not being straight with you. What I offer instead: the 60-Day Measurable Progress Guarantee. If you don’t see measurable improvement in search visibility, AI citation frequency, or technical health within 60 days, I work an extra month at no charge.
Search & AI Visibility
How do you rank in Google AI Overviews?
AI Overviews cite pages that are semantically complete, carry strong E-E-A-T signals (named author, credentials, publication date), use schema markup (especially FAQPage), and make specific, verifiable claims rather than vague ones. Ranking well in traditional search helps but isn’t the same thing. A page can rank #1 organically and still be skipped by AI Overviews if it lacks these citation-specific signals. See the full breakdown of what Google AI Overviews actually cite.
What is GEO and why does it matter now?
GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) is the practice of structuring your brand, content, and entity signals so AI systems like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini cite you when users ask relevant questions. A growing share of research now happens inside AI systems rather than traditional search. Users ask a question and get a direct answer, without clicking any link. If your brand is not structured for AI citation, it is invisible in this layer regardless of how well it ranks in Google. See the full GEO Optimisation service.
What is the difference between GEO and AEO?
GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) targets AI systems that generate answers: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude. AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation) targets Google’s zero-click answer features: featured snippets, People Also Ask boxes, and voice search results. Both reward structured, question-based, authoritative content, which is why they are built together. The techniques overlap significantly: what makes content GEO-ready also improves AEO performance. See the full AEO Optimisation service.
What does Technical SEO actually cover?
Technical SEO is the infrastructure layer that everything else depends on. It covers crawlability, indexability, page speed and Core Web Vitals, structured data and schema markup, internal linking architecture, canonical tags, hreflang for international sites, and mobile performance. A site with poor technical SEO cannot rank reliably regardless of content quality or link volume. Technical SEO is always the first thing I audit before any other work begins.
Do you work on Technical SEO as a standalone service?
Yes. Technical SEO audits and implementation are available as part of the Website & SEO Audit or as a component of the Enterprise retainer package. The audit covers crawl health, indexing status, Core Web Vitals, schema, internal linking, and AI search readiness: with prioritised implementation recommendations and direct support on fixes.
How do I choose a technical SEO consultant in Dubai?
Look for platform-verified results rather than modelled estimates, a written scope that clearly separates technical SEO work from AEO/GEO work, and someone who audits your site before recommending anything. A consultant capped at a small number of clients can give daily attention that a large agency structurally can’t.
Is AEO/GEO different from regular SEO, or just repackaged SEO?
Google’s own guidance states that optimising for AI search is still fundamentally SEO. In practice, AEO/GEO adds structuring content for direct extraction by AI answer engines, tracking citation frequency across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini specifically, and entity/schema work aimed at AI retrieval rather than only ranking. It’s an extension of SEO discipline, not a separate skill set. See the full breakdown of Google’s 2026 guidance.
How much does AEO/GEO cost in Dubai?
UAE market rates for AEO-only retainers run roughly AED 4,000–18,000+/month depending on scope. See the full 2026 pricing guide or the pricing page for a direct comparison.
Why does Kuraib talk about “verification” so much?
Because nobody trusts what a business says about itself. They trust what the sources they already trust confirm. That is true for Google rankings, AI citations, and client testimonials alike. Every figure on this site is sourced from platform-level data for exactly that reason.
