Strategy

Which platforms your audience actually uses, what they want to see, and what the account is for. Most underperforming accounts skipped this and went straight to posting.

Organic content
Producing and publishing the posts, reels, stories and articles. This builds an audience slowly and costs time rather than media spend.
Paid social.
Advertising on the same platforms. This buys reach immediately and is the faster route to leads.

How Much Does Social Media Management Cost in Dubai?

Ours starts at AED 5,000 per month. That covers strategy, content production and community management. Paid social ad spend is separate.

Price is driven by:

Price DriverWhy It Matters
Number of PlatformsEach one needs its own content approach
Posting FrequencyMore frequent posting means more production time
Content TypeGraphics are cheaper than video; video performs better
LanguageArabic and English doubles content production
Content SourceWhether we shoot original content

Which Platforms Matter in the UAE?

Not every platform deserves your attention. Here is where UAE audiences actually live:

What Makes SEO in Dubai Different
Instagram

Not every platform deserves your attention. Here is where UAE audiences actually live:

LinkedIn

B2C, retail, F&B, beauty, fitness, real estate. Still the default consumer platform here.

Snapchat

Retains meaningful reach in the GCC — often overlooked by agencies from outside the region. Worth testing if your audience is regional and consumer-facing.

TikTok

Younger consumer audiences. Growing fast, less competitive than Instagram.

Facebook

Broader and older demographics, community groups, marketplace.

X (Twitter)

News, government, real-time. Notable government presence in the UAE.

On follower counts: they are the least useful metric in social media. Ten thousand followers who never buy are worth less than five hundred who do. We report on reach, engagement, click-through and leads.

We do not publish engagement or return figures we cannot evidence. Where a number appears on this site it is one we measured and can show you the source for, such as the cost-per-click table on our SEO page. On a first call we will look at your existing accounts and tell you what is actually working.

Do You Produce Content in Arabic?

Arabic search demand is validated with real search data rather than a translated English keyword list, and right-to-left layout is built in rather than retrofitted afterwards. Tell us the scope of Arabic copy you need and we will confirm exactly what we cover before you commit to anything. We would rather answer that specifically than claim a capability in the abstract. Arabic social content is not translated English. The tone, references and humour differ, and audiences notice immediately when a post has been run through translation software.

Astraunaut Image for Numbers matter
Do you create the content or do we?
We can do both. Most clients want us to produce it; some supply photography and want us to handle strategy, scheduling and community management.
Yes. Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok and Snapchat. See also
Community management is included. Response times and escalation rules are agreed at the start.
Yes. If none exist, our design team can create them.
Tell us what you need shot and we will confirm what we cover in-house and what we would bring in, before you commit. Production scope varies enough that an abstract yes would not be useful to you.
Depends on platform and package. We would rather post three genuinely good pieces a week than daily filler.
