⚠️ The Challenge

What the Brokerage Was Struggling With

Astronomical ad spend drained on unverified leads and mismatched audience clicks.

"We burned over 45,000 AED monthly on ads, but 80% of inquiries were invalid numbers, tire-kickers, or job seekers."

Dubai's property market is among the most aggressive ad environments globally. The agency was driving paid search traffic to a slow, generic multi-property listing site. Paid search terms were filled with irrelevant clicks, broad match queries drained the budget, and Meta lead forms flooded the sales desk with unreachable contacts. With Cost-Per-Lead (CPL) climbing over 320 AED for unqualified data, the agents were burning out on cold calls while genuine overseas investors slipped away.
