Google Ads case study results for Dubai real estate client


The Challenge

Dubai's real estate market is one of the most competitive Google Ads categories globally cost per click for property-related searches routinely runs higher than most other industries, which makes cost per conversion the metric that actually determines whether a campaign is profitable.

What We Did

We built this campaign around specific buyer and investor intent signals rather than broad "Dubai real estate" targeting, which is expensive and attracts a wide range of search intent, much of it not ready to engage with an agent. Keyword targeting was narrowed to match specific property types, locations within Dubai, and investor-focused search terms, with conversion tracking configured to measure actual lead quality, not just click volume.

The Results

- 20.4K clicks
- 1.59K conversions
- Dh34.91 cost per conversion
- Dh55.5K total ad spend

What This Means for Real Estate Businesses in Competitive Markets

A cost-per-conversion under Dh35 in a market as competitive as Dubai real estate isn't a result of a bigger budget outspending competitors  it's a result of narrower targeting reducing wasted spend on low-intent clicks. This is the exact approach built into our Real Estate Lead Generation service for agents and brokerages operating in high-competition markets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does cost per conversion matter more than cost per click in real estate?

A low cost per click can be misleading if those clicks don't convert a campaign with a higher cost per click but a much higher conversion rate often produces a lower, more profitable cost per conversion overall.

Does this approach work outside Dubai?

The specific numbers are market-dependent, but the core method narrowing targeting to buyer/investor intent instead of broad location keywords applies to any competitive real estate market.
