Common questions

Marketing, SEO and GEO, answered

What is GEO, and how is it different from SEO?

SEO is about ranking in a list of blue links. GEO — generative engine optimisation — is about being cited in the answer that ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google's AI Overviews writes for the user. The techniques overlap but are not identical: AI engines favour clearly structured, factual, question-and-answer content with strong entity signals. Increasingly, GCC buyers research through an AI assistant before they ever open a search results page, so brands need both.

Can you guarantee a number one ranking on Google?

No, and nobody honestly can — anyone who guarantees it is either misleading you or planning to rank you for a term nobody searches. What we commit to is the work that reliably compounds: technical foundations, content targeting terms your buyers actually use, and steady authority building, with transparent reporting so you can see movement. Meaningful results typically take three to six months.

How long does SEO take to show results in the UAE?

Technical fixes such as indexing and site speed can register within weeks. Ranking movement for competitive Dubai commercial terms is more realistically a three to six month horizon, longer in categories dominated by directory and listicle sites. Anyone promising faster is usually targeting terms with no commercial value.

Do you produce content in Arabic as well as English?

Yes. We work in both, and we treat Arabic as original writing rather than machine translation of English copy — the search terms, tone and reference points differ, and a translated page reads like one. For most GCC businesses a bilingual presence is worth it; we will tell you honestly if your audience does not warrant it.

What does a brand identity project include?

Typically logo and mark, colour and typographic system, layout and imagery direction, application across your core touchpoints, and a guidelines document so the brand survives contact with other suppliers. Scope flexes — some clients need a full system, others a disciplined refresh of what already works.

Do you manage ad spend, or only the creative?

Both, though they are billed separately. Media budget is yours and goes directly to the platform; we charge for management and creative. You keep ownership of the ad accounts and the data in them, which we consider non-negotiable — you should never lose your advertising history by changing agency.
