I’ll say this as simply as possible: if you run a business in the UAE and you still don’t have a website or a proper Google Business Map listing, you’re missing opportunities. Not hypothetical ones. Real, everyday customers who are already searching for exactly what you offer — and just not finding you.
Or worse, finding your competitor instead.
People Don’t Browse, They Search
Here’s the thing — no one’s walking around Dubai or Abu Dhabi just looking at signs anymore. They’re searching. “Café near me.” “Custom tailoring Karama.” “Accounting services in Sharjah.” These aren’t just searches. They’re intent.
When someone types something like that into Google, they’re not just curious. They’re ready to do something — visit, buy, book, call. And if your business doesn’t show up on the map or at least have a working website link, you’re effectively invisible.
That’s a little harsh, maybe. But also true.
A Website is Your Business Card, Front Desk, and Salesperson — All in One
Think about how you judge a business. You search, you click their site, you skim for 15 seconds — tops — and then decide: trustworthy or not? Professional or sketchy? Active or dead?
Even if someone finds you on Google Maps, many will still click your website next. And if it’s not there, or it looks like it was built in 2009 and abandoned in 2011… they bounce.
Your website doesn’t have to be flashy. But it does need to work — on phones, especially. It needs to be clear, quick to load, and answer three questions within seconds:
- What do you do?
- Where are you?
- How can I contact or book you?
That’s it. Anything beyond that is a bonus.
Google Business Profile: The New Front Door
When people search for your business name (or even just your category), Google shows what’s called a Business Profile on the right side — with your address, phone, reviews, photos, and a map.
You can’t buy your way into that space. You have to earn it. But the good news? It’s free to set up, and Google actually wants to help small businesses get on there.
Still, it’s surprising how many UAE businesses haven’t claimed or optimized their profile. Either the info is outdated, or someone else set it up years ago and forgot about it.
Location Matters, Even Online
Let’s say you run a flower shop in JLT. If your business isn’t showing up on Google Maps with the correct pin, opening hours, and delivery info — you’re not even in the game. People don’t scroll past page one anymore. They don’t look past the first three map results. You either show up or you don’t exist.
Harsh again, I know. But again — true.
