Marketing Services and Web Development Pricing
A Trusted platform by the Founders
Thabat Ventures prices work around the scope required to solve the business problem rather than forcing every client into the same package. The first written review can be AED 0 when it is offered as the initial diagnostic step. Paid SEO, PPC, Google Ads, social media, content, website, branding, app, ecommerce and business setup work is then quoted after the goals, current assets, access, languages, timelines and deliverables are clear. This service sits inside the Digital Marketing Agency in Dubai plan.
A five-page lead-generation website is not the same project as a 200-product ecommerce store.
An SEO engagement for a small service website is not the same as fixing indexation and migration problems across a large catalogue.
A Google Ads account with one market and one offer is not the same as a multi-service UAE account with multiple landing pages and conversion paths.
A business setup quote also changes depending on jurisdiction, activity, legal form, office, visas and approvals.
The useful number is the price of the work you actually need.
Contact for more DetailsWhat is included in the first review
The current Thabat Ventures pricing model has one published fixed figure:
The first written review can be AED 0.
That review is designed to identify the likely problem and the next useful step.
It is not the full delivery scope.
A free first review may include a concise look at areas such as:
- current website
- search visibility
- paid account structure
- landing page
- campaign brief
- company setup route
- obvious technical or conversion problems.
Paid work begins after the required delivery is defined.
That keeps the diagnostic conversation separate from a full audit, implementation project, monthly retainer or build.
Why this page does not list package fees
A price table is useful only when the underlying package is real.
If a website says:
"SEO from AED X"
but does not explain what is included, the number has little meaning.
The same applies to:
- PPC management
- web development
- branding
- business setup.
A price can look low because important work is excluded.
It can look high because the scope includes implementation, content, development or several markets.
Thabat Ventures does not publish paid package prices until the scope and price are approved internally.
That is more useful than filling the page with placeholder fees.
What you receive before paid work
A useful proposal should answer four questions:
- What are we changing?
- What will Thabat Ventures deliver?
- What does the client need to provide?
- What is not included?
Depending on the project, the written scope can define:
- deliverables
- accounts
- pages
- channels
- markets
- language versions
- review rounds
- handover files
- reporting
- implementation responsibilities.
The goal is to reduce surprises after work begins.
How marketing fees are built
Digital marketing pricing depends on how many moving parts need active work.
Important variables include:
- number of services
- number of markets
- audience complexity
- website condition
- tracking
- content production
- creative production
- development
- reporting
- approval process.
A company that needs SEO only can have a much narrower scope than a company that needs:
- SEO
- Google Ads
- landing pages
- content
- analytics.
More channels do not automatically make the plan better.
Each service should have a commercial reason to exist.
SEO service
SEO pricing is influenced by the condition and size of the website.
A useful SEO scope may include:
- technical audit
- Search Console analysis
- keyword research
- search-intent mapping
- page optimization
- content planning
- internal linking
- local SEO
- digital PR
- reporting.
The cost changes when the site has:
- thousands of URLs
- multiple locations
- Arabic and English pages
- ecommerce filters
- migration risk
- development dependencies.
A small service site and a large ecommerce catalogue should not receive the same quote.
For the specialist scope, see SEO Services in Dubai.
When that search scope grows
SEO usually becomes more resource-intensive when the project needs significant implementation.
Examples include:
- complex technical fixes
- page migrations
- new templates
- large content programmes
- bilingual content
- local SEO across multiple real locations
- substantial digital PR
- ecommerce architecture work.
The agency should explain which of those items are in the quote.
A monthly fee without a defined workload is difficult to evaluate.
When that search scope stays small
A narrow SEO scope can make sense when:
- one page is underperforming
- a migration needs review only
- the business needs keyword mapping
- the team can implement recommendations internally
- the main issue is technical diagnosis.
Not every business needs a long retainer.
Sometimes a focused project is enough.
PPC Service
Paid search pricing has two separate financial parts:
- the advertising budget paid to the platform
- the management or delivery fee paid for the work.
Those should not be blurred together.
Google Ads management can include:
- account structure
- keyword research
- negative keywords
- ad copy
- conversion tracking
- landing-page recommendations
- search-term review
- budget control
- reporting.
The fee can vary based on:
- number of campaigns
- markets
- products
- conversion actions
- landing pages
- account complexity.
For detailed scopes, see PPC Agency Dubai and Google Ads Agency Dubai.
Google Ads service
If a business has an advertising budget, that money normally goes to the advertising platform.
Management fees cover the work around the account.
A proposal should make this separation clear.
For example, the quote should explain:
- what is paid to Google
- what is paid to Thabat Ventures
- whether creative is included
- whether landing pages are included
- whether tracking setup is included.
That allows the client to understand the real acquisition cost.
Editorial work fees
Content marketing can be scoped by:
- strategy
- research
- article production
- commercial pages
- thought leadership
- editing
- subject-matter review
- distribution.
A technical B2B article usually needs different research and review from a simple consumer content piece.
The same applies to regulated topics.
Healthcare, finance and business setup content may require stronger verification.
That additional work should be visible in the scope.
For the specialist service, see Content Marketing Agency Dubai.
Creator campaign fees
Influencer marketing can contain two separate cost layers:
- campaign management
- creator fees.
Creator fees can vary widely.
They depend on factors such as:
- audience size
- audience geography
- content format
- usage rights
- exclusivity
- production
- campaign duration.
A management quote should make clear whether creator payments are included or paid separately.
See Influencer Marketing Agency Dubai for the full scope.
Website build fees
Website pricing depends on what the website needs to do.
A simple lead-generation site may require:
- information architecture
- design
- development
- forms
- analytics
- basic SEO setup.
A larger site may also require:
- custom templates
- CMS architecture
- multilingual content
- integrations
- CRM
- migration
- advanced forms
- user accounts.
That is why page count is only one factor.
A five-page site with custom integrations can be more complex than a larger content site.
See Web Design Company Dubai.
Store build fees
Ecommerce development has more variables than a simple marketing site.
The scope can include:
- product catalogue
- categories
- search
- filters
- checkout
- payments
- shipping
- VAT
- product migration
- inventory
- ERP
- CRM
- analytics
- feeds
- SEO.
The current live pricing page uses a useful comparison:
A five-page lead-generation website and a 200-product store do not carry the same workload.
That remains true even if both projects use the same CMS.
For the full service, see Ecommerce Development Company Dubai.
App build fees
App pricing depends on:
- number of screens
- platforms
- backend
- user roles
- authentication
- payments
- notifications
- integrations
- analytics
- admin tools.
An iOS and Android app with a custom backend is different from a simpler app using an existing system.
The quote should define whether the project includes:
- UX
- UI
- development
- testing
- store submission
- post-launch support.
See Mobile App Development Company Dubai.
Identity work fees
Branding can mean very different things.
A narrow identity project may include:
- visual direction
- logo
- typography
- colour system.
A broader brand engagement may include:
- research
- positioning
- naming
- messaging
- tone of voice
- identity
- brand guidelines
- rollout applications.
The quote should name the deliverables.
"Branding package" is too vague on its own.
See Branding Agency Dubai.
Mark design fees
Logo design is narrower than full branding.
The scope can include:
- creative direction
- concepts
- revisions
- wordmark or symbol
- Arabic and English lockups
- responsive versions
- monochrome versions
- vector files
- source files
- usage guidance.
If the business needs positioning, naming and a full identity system, the branding service is the better route.
See Logo Design Company Dubai.
Film production fees
Video production costs depend heavily on the production plan.
Cost drivers can include:
- concept
- script
- crew
- location
- equipment
- actors
- travel
- shoot days
- editing
- motion graphics
- voice-over
- music licensing
- versions.
A short office interview can have a very different production cost from a commercial with casting and multiple locations.
The quote should separate production needs clearly.
See Video Production Company Dubai.
Company formation fees
Business setup pricing cannot be reduced responsibly to one fee.
The total can depend on:
- mainland or free zone
- activity
- legal form
- shareholder profile
- visas
- office
- external approvals
- document attestation
- immigration
- tax setup.
Government and free zone authority fees can change.
A setup quote should distinguish:
- government or authority fees
- third-party fees
- Thabat Ventures service fees.
See Business Setup in Dubai.
Free zone route fees
Free zone pricing varies by:
- jurisdiction
- activity
- visa allocation
- workspace
- company type
- shareholder type.
A low-cost zero-visa package is not suitable for every founder.
A company that needs:
- residence
- several employees
- warehouse
- physical office
should compare the full setup cost.
See Free Zone Company Formation Dubai.
Mainland route fees
Dubai mainland cost can vary based on:
- DET activity
- legal form
- premises
- approvals
- visas
- shareholder structure.
A restaurant, consultancy and trading company can have very different formation requirements.
The correct quote should begin with the licensed activity.
See Mainland Company Formation Dubai.
Other emirate formation fees
Company formation costs also differ by emirate.
Abu Dhabi uses its own licensing ecosystem.
Sharjah uses a different mainland authority and different free zones.
The company should therefore not assume a Dubai price applies nationally.
Use the dedicated pages for:
- Business Setup in Abu Dhabi
- Business Setup in Sharjah.
Why the same label can cost different amounts
Scope is more than a service name.
Consider two SEO projects.
Project A
- one language
- small website
- no migration
- internal team implements recommendations.
Project B
- Arabic and English
- ecommerce
- thousands of URLs
- development support
- content production
- digital PR.
Both are called SEO.
They are not the same workload.
The same principle applies across every service on the site.
What raises the fee
Common drivers include:
- more deliverables
- more channels
- more markets
- more languages
- more development
- more content
- more approval layers
- more production
- more integrations
- shorter deadlines.
Urgency can also increase coordination requirements.
A short timeline does not automatically make the work impossible.
It can change the staffing and project structure.
What can keep the fee smaller
A project can often be made smaller by narrowing the objective.
Examples:
Instead of rebuilding the whole site, improve the highest-value landing pages.
Instead of managing every social platform, focus on the platform where the audience is strongest.
Instead of publishing a large content programme immediately, fix the commercial pages first.
Instead of rebuilding an ad account and website together, start with measurement and the highest-spend campaign.
A narrower scope can be better when it targets the main constraint.
Recurring work versus one project
Some services naturally fit recurring delivery.
Examples include:
- SEO
- paid media
- social media
- ongoing content.
Other work often fits a project.
Examples include:
- website development
- branding
- logo design
- video production
- tracking setup
- business setup.
A hybrid structure can also work.
A company may begin with a website project and then move into SEO.
Another may start with an SEO audit before deciding whether ongoing work is necessary.
The commercial model should follow the work.
What a monthly agreement should name
A retainer should define the recurring work.
It can specify:
- monthly deliverables
- reporting
- meetings
- optimization
- content
- implementation
- campaign management.
Avoid retainers that say only "ongoing support."
The client should be able to understand what work is expected each month.
What a one-off quote should name
A project quote should define:
- deliverables
- milestones
- review rounds
- handover
- dependencies
- exclusions.
For a website, that can include the number and type of templates.
For branding, it can include the identity deliverables.
For video, it can include shoot and post-production scope.
A project has a clearer end point than a retainer.
Who keeps the accounts
Pricing should also account for ownership.
Thabat Ventures prefers clear client ownership of important assets.
Depending on the service, that can include:
- Google Ads account
- Google Analytics
- Search Console
- Tag Manager
- website
- domain
- creative files
- source files
- reporting access.
The scope should explain what the client receives.
Good handover is part of the service.
What to send for a quote
A useful brief does not need to be long.
Bring:
- current website URL
- target service
- target location
- language needs
- primary commercial goal
- existing account access
- important deadline.
For ads, add:
- current account
- advertising history
- approximate media budget.
For business setup, add:
- planned activity
- ownership structure
- visa needs
- office needs.
The more specific the brief, the more specific the quote can be.
What happens after you ask
We review the request
The first step is to identify whether the problem is clear enough to price.
We may provide the AED 0 first review
Where appropriate, the first written review can be free.
We define the scope
The work is separated into deliverables and responsibilities.
We identify exclusions
Items not included are stated before the project begins.
We issue the paid quote
The proposal reflects the agreed scope.
Work begins after approval
Access, files and implementation responsibilities are confirmed.
This is designed to keep pricing connected to real work.
Why one word is not enough to quote
A request such as:
"How much for SEO?"
does not contain enough information to price responsibly.
The website may need:
- technical fixes
- content
- local SEO
- migration work
- development.
Or it may need only one focused review.
The same applies to:
"How much for Google Ads?"
without knowing:
- markets
- campaign count
- current account
- landing pages
- conversion tracking.
A useful quote starts with enough context to avoid guessing.
Why unpublished starting prices stay off this page
Visitors often prefer a number immediately.
That is understandable.
However, a starting price becomes misleading when the business has not approved a fixed scope behind it.
Thabat Ventures currently publishes the AED 0 first-review option because that offer is defined.
Paid work remains scope-based.
Once fixed packages or minimums are formally approved, this page should be updated with those real figures.
Until then, invented numbers would make the page less useful. Continue with SEO Services in Dubai.
Common pricing questions
Is there a free audit?
A first written review can be AED 0 when offered as the initial diagnostic step. It is not the same as a full audit, implementation project or ongoing retainer.
Why is there no fixed package table?
Thabat Ventures does not currently publish approved fixed paid packages across all services. Paid work is quoted after scope so the page does not present placeholder or misleading prices.
How much does SEO cost in Dubai?
SEO pricing depends on website size, technical condition, content needs, competition, locations, languages and implementation requirements. A written scope is needed before a reliable fee can be quoted.
How much does Google Ads management cost?
Google Ads cost has two parts: media spend paid to Google and management or delivery fees. Management cost depends on account complexity, campaigns, markets, tracking and landing-page requirements.
Is ad spend included in the management fee?
Not automatically. A proposal should state clearly whether media spend is separate from management fees.
How much does a website cost in Dubai?
Website cost depends on the number and type of pages, design, CMS, integrations, languages, content, migration and functionality. A five-page lead-generation site and a 200-product ecommerce store require different scopes.
How much does branding cost?
Branding cost depends on whether the business needs only visual identity or a broader scope covering strategy, positioning, naming, messaging, guidelines and rollout.
How much does a logo cost?
Logo design pricing depends on the creative scope, versions, revisions, bilingual requirements and final file package. Logo design is narrower than a full branding engagement.
How much does video production cost?
Video cost depends on concept, script, crew, shoot days, locations, casting, equipment, editing, animation, music, voice-over and delivery formats.
How much does business setup cost in Dubai?
Business setup cost depends on mainland or free zone, activity, legal form, shareholder profile, office, visas and external approvals. Authority fees and service fees should be separated in the quote.
Can I get a quote before sharing account access?
Yes. An initial scope can usually be discussed without full access. Final pricing may become more accurate after the existing website or account condition is reviewed.
Do you offer monthly retainers?
Some services can be delivered on a recurring basis, including SEO, paid media, social and content. The retainer should define what recurring work is included.
Do you offer one-off projects?
Yes. Website, branding, logo, video, audits, tracking and selected consulting work can be scoped as projects where appropriate.
Can the scope start small?
Yes. A focused first project can be more useful than activating many services at once. The priority should be the problem most likely to affect performance.
Who owns the accounts and files?
Ownership should be defined in the scope. Thabat Ventures favors clear client ownership of important accounts, data and working files wherever the platform and project structure allow it.
What should I send to get a quote?
Send the website or current asset, service needed, target market, language needs, main commercial goal and deadline. For ads, include account context. For company setup, include activity, ownership and visa needs.
A useful quote should be specific enough that you know what is being done, what is being delivered, what you need to provide, what is excluded, and who owns the finished assets. The first written review can be AED 0 where appropriate. Paid delivery is then quoted against the real scope. Thabat Ventures uses this model to keep pricing tied to actual work rather than placeholder packages. Continue with Business Setup in Dubai.
Social channel production
Social media pricing depends heavily on production.
A basic strategy and planning scope is different from a full monthly service with:
The number of platforms also matters.
Managing LinkedIn and Instagram is different from producing content for:
The platform mix should follow the audience.
