SEO & Local SEO in Dubai
If customers can’t find you on Google Maps, they find your competitor. Local SEO, Google Business Profile optimisation, technical fixes and service pages that help Dubai businesses show up when customers search. I’m Yedukrishna Suresh: I handle the SEO myself, and because I also shoot photo and video, your profile and pages get real visuals, not stock.
Dubai-based, available for shoots across the UAE, and in Dubai full-time from mid-November 2026.
01
Why it matters
For most Dubai service businesses, search visibility comes down to a few things done properly: a complete and active Google Business Profile, a fast website with a clear page for each service and area, consistent business details across directories, and a steady flow of genuine reviews. None of it is magic, and all of it compounds.
I work on the foundations first, then on content that answers what your customers actually search. I also set up structured data (schema) so search engines and AI assistants understand who you are, what you offer and where. Reporting is in plain English: what changed, what improved and what comes next.

What’s included
Pick one, or combine them into a single project.
Google Business Profile
Categories, services, photos, posts, Q&A and a review-request routine, so you show up on Maps.
SEO audit
A clear list of technical, on-page and local issues, ranked by impact, not a 90-page export.
Service & area pages
Keyword-mapped titles, headings and content for each service and the areas you cover.
Technical fixes
Speed, mobile, indexing, sitemaps, redirects and schema markup.
Directories & citations
Consistent name, phone and address across UAE directories and platforms.
Content & visuals
Helpful articles, FAQs and fresh photos or video that give Google and customers a reason to choose you.

Local SEO for Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah
Dubai searches are local and competitive: people search by service plus area (Marina, JLT, Business Bay, Downtown, Al Quoz) and often in mixed English and Arabic. Pages and profiles need to reflect the areas you genuinely serve, without creating thin copy-paste pages that search engines ignore.
I work with restaurants and cafes, clinics and salons, real estate brokers, consultants, studios and trades. Where your audience searches in Arabic, I structure the site for it and work with your translator for the copy.

Common questions
How long does SEO take to work in Dubai?
Technical fixes and Google Business Profile improvements can show changes within weeks; competitive rankings usually take months of consistent work. I’ll give you an honest view after the audit rather than a promise.
Can you guarantee first position on Google?
No, and you should be wary of anyone who does. Google decides rankings. What I can do is fix what’s holding you back and build the pages, profile and reviews that give you the best chance.
Do you set up Google Business Profile?
Yes. Setup or clean-up, categories and services, photos, posts, Q&A and a simple review-request process are part of local SEO. Verification has to be completed by the business owner, and I guide you through it.
Do I need a new website for SEO?
Not always. Many sites can be fixed and extended. If the current site is too slow or too hard to change, I’ll explain the trade-offs and can rebuild it.
How much does SEO cost in Dubai?
SEO is quoted as a one-off audit and fix project or as a monthly retainer, depending on scope and competition. You get one written quote before work starts.
