Your SEO questions, answered
SEO services FAQs
What do your SEO services include?
Sandstorm Digital’s SEO services include technical audits, keyword research, on-page optimisation, content planning and optimisation, internal linking, digital authority building and performance reporting. Depending on your goals, we also support local SEO, international SEO, website migrations and visibility in AI search. We agree the priorities, deliverables and responsibilities with you before work begins.
How much does SEO cost?
SEO pricing depends on your website’s size, technical condition, competition, target markets and the work required. A bilingual ecommerce website or an international migration needs a different scope from a local service website. Share your website and growth goals with us, and we will recommend a scope and provide a proposal with clear pricing and deliverables.
How long does SEO take to deliver results?
SEO is an ongoing investment. Technical fixes and improvements to existing pages can produce early gains, while meaningful growth often takes three to six months or longer. The timeframe depends on your starting point, competition, website authority and how quickly changes are implemented. We set priorities and track progress against agreed measures rather than promise rankings or a fixed result.
Do you offer Arabic and English SEO?
Yes. We support Arabic and English SEO for businesses in Dubai, across the UAE and in other regional markets. Our work can include language-specific keyword research, content optimisation, technical checks and international targeting. We consider how customers search in each language rather than relying on direct keyword translation.
Can you improve visibility in ChatGPT and Google AI search?
Our Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) and Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO) services help brands improve their readiness for discovery in ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Gemini. We use Cited.ae to identify visibility gaps and opportunities, then improve relevant content, technical accessibility and supporting evidence. We monitor progress, but no agency can guarantee that an AI engine will mention or cite a brand.
How do you measure SEO traffic, leads and bookings?
We use Google Search Console and GA4 to track search performance, organic traffic and agreed conversion events such as enquiries, calls or bookings. Where access and tracking allow, we also measure visits and conversions attributed to identifiable AI referrals. Reports connect the work completed to business outcomes, with attribution limits explained so AI referrals are not confused with all AI-influenced journeys.
Can you support a website migration?
Yes. We support rebrands, platform changes, domain moves and URL restructures. Our SEO migration work can include a pre-launch audit, URL mapping, redirect planning, checks of canonicals and hreflang, analytics continuity, launch checks and post-launch monitoring. The aim is to preserve search visibility and resolve issues quickly, although temporary fluctuations can occur.
