Building on the foundation: new content targeting the searches your customers actually use, and refining the pages that start moving.
AED 1,500 / month — month 7 onward
Keeping it growing: ongoing content, monitoring, and fixes as rankings, Google updates, and your business change.
Same scope every month. The price drops over time, but nothing gets removed from what's included — see the list below.

Common questions
Most small and mid-sized businesses in Dubai pay AED 1,500–12,000 per month for SEO, and competitive industries like real estate and medical often pay AED 12,000–25,000 or more. HexWeb's retainer starts at AED 2,500 per month and drops to AED 1,500 per month from month 7.
The first three months carry the most work: technical fixes, Google Business Profile setup, and the first round of content. After that, the work shifts to steady content, monitoring, and refinement, so the monthly fee drops with it.
On-page and technical SEO, local SEO including Google Business Profile, content and blog writing, and a monthly report. All of it is included from the first month and implemented by hand, without Yoast or RankMath.
Most small business sites see first movement within 6–10 weeks. Solid ranking gains usually build over 3–6 months, depending on how competitive your keywords are.
No. SEO can run on your existing site. If the site is very slow or badly structured, that caps results, and the free audit will tell you whether a rebuild is worth it first.
Yes. The groundwork AI assistants rely on, including structured data, AI crawler access, and answer-first content, is part of the retainer. The AI search optimization page explains what that involves.
