A Dubai permanent makeup salon: 3.1× traffic and 27 keywords in the top 3 in a year
We grew a permanent makeup and microblading salon into Google's Dubai top: search traffic rose about 3.1× over the year, and priority services reached the first positions.
The starting point
A permanent makeup and microblading salon in Dubai: microblading and nanoblading, powder and ombre brows, lip blush, permanent eyeliner, tattoo removal, scalp micropigmentation and scar camouflage. A local, competitive niche — clients search for an artist 'near me' in Dubai, and the decision to book a procedure is made after carefully studying the portfolio.
At the start the site had weak visibility in Dubai's local results: priority commercial queries were not reaching the top, and key service pages brought too little traffic. Visibility and trust had to be built systematically.
What had to be done
The client's main goal — to increase traffic from Google, improve positions for commercial queries and lift priority permanent makeup services into the top 10 across Dubai. Hence three tracks of work:
- →Lift commercial queries (microblading, lip blush, permanent makeup) into Google's top three and top ten across Dubai.
- →Grow search traffic to key service pages.
- →Strengthen local visibility, the site's technical health and links for steady growth.
What we did on the project
We worked systematically across four tracks: analytics and control, technical improvements, content and structure, and links.
We analyzed the niche and Dubai competitors, audited their and our own link profiles, set up analytics and reported every month. Every decision was based on numbers, not guesswork.
We put the technical side in order: page titles and descriptions, heading structure, service files, fixed page errors and indexing settings, added image descriptions and improved structure and navigation — so nothing held back growth in search.
We collected the queries clients use to search for services on Google and reworked the structure and texts around them — the homepage, service pages and the blog. We briefed the copywriter, wrote and published materials for priority services.
We placed mentions and links to the site on external platforms — articles, forums and topical directories. To Google that's a signal the site can be trusted. The number of referring sites grew from 6 to 39.
