What drives the cost
Business setup is one of the most expensive categories in the UAE because each client is worth a lot. ADGM searches carry the highest bids; free zone and trade license searches bring more volume.
What this budget buys
Using the typical bid range above:
- AED 5,000 a month: roughly 94 to 367 clicks at these bid levels
- AED 10,000 a month: roughly 188 to 734 clicks at these bid levels
- AED 20,000 a month: roughly 376 to 1,467 clicks at these bid levels
Clicks are only the start. What matters is how many of those clicks become enquiries, and that depends on the landing page and how fast your team replies.
What the landing page needs
For business setup companies, the pages that turn clicks into enquiries usually compare the options (free zone, mainland, ADGM) with starting costs, list what is included, and offer a quick call or WhatsApp to get a quote.
