These are our own operational commitments. Unlike ads and SEO, automation pricing is not publicly benchmarked in this market, so we publish our own numbers rather than borrowing someone else’s.

What automation costs in Abu Dhabi

There is no published UAE benchmark for automation pricing the way there is for Google Ads or SEO, so treat any agency quoting you a market rate with some suspicion. Here is ours.

Our Marketing Automation Service Packages

	What it covers	Price
Build fee, one off	Process mapping, CRM setup or integration, workflow construction, testing with real enquiries, team training	From AED 2,999
Monthly	Platform licence, monitoring, adjustments, reporting on response times and conversion	AED 1,999 per month

How to work out whether it pays for itself. Take your monthly enquiry count, estimate the share that currently wait more than an hour for a reply, and multiply by your average deal value and your close rate. If recovering a quarter of those covers AED 1,999 a month, the system pays for itself and the build fee is back inside the first quarter. If it does not, we will tell you on the call and you should spend the money on getting more enquiries first.

What moves the price. How many workflows you need, whether you already have a CRM, how many tools we have to connect, and whether you need bilingual sequences. We scope before quoting.

Is automation the right fix for you?

Automation solves a real problem when

Enquiries arrive faster than anyone can answer them
Leads regularly go quiet after a quote is sent and nobody chases
Your review count has not moved in months despite happy customers
Enquiries land in a shared inbox or a WhatsApp several people half watch
You are about to increase ad spend, which means more enquiries into the same broken process

Something else is the real problem when

It will not help when

We will tell you which of these you have on the first call. Working out that you need Google Ads rather than automation takes twenty minutes and saves you a build fee.

What is included

Deliverable	What it actually means
Process mapping first	We trace a real enquiry through your business from arrival to close, and document where they fall out. This happens before we build anything.
CRM setup or integration	We build on what you have. If you are running on a shared inbox and a spreadsheet, which many Abu Dhabi SMEs are, we set one up.
Instant response automation	WhatsApp, SMS and email replies triggered the moment an enquiry lands, with escalation if nobody responds personally.
Lead nurture sequences	Structured multi step follow up for people who are interested but not ready.
Quote and proposal chasing	Automatic reminders at day two, day five and day ten, so nothing sits unanswered.
Review request automation	Triggered by job completion or payment, through the channel the customer already used.
Bilingual sequences	Parallel Arabic and English flows, routed by the language the enquiry arrived in.
Reporting	Response times, lead volume, conversion rate, and where people drop out.

How automation works for Abu Dhabi businesses

Speed to lead

A new enquiry triggers an instant WhatsApp or SMS reply within 60 seconds, logs the lead in your CRM, assigns an owner, and starts a timer. If nobody responds personally within a set window, it escalates. Response speed is consistently the highest-impact change we make for service businesses, and once built, it costs nothing to run.

Quote follow up

Every quote sent enters an automatic sequence: a check in after two days, a value reminder after five, a final message after ten. Most businesses send a quote and wait. The sequence recovers the deals that would have gone silent.

Review generation

When a job is marked complete or an invoice is paid, the customer gets a review request through the channel they used to contact you. Consistent review volume and recency is what moves you up the Google map pack, and asking manually never stays consistent for long.

Built for Abu Dhabi specifically

Enquiries arriving Friday afternoon sit until Sunday unless something handles them. Around 40 percent of UAE audiences prefer Arabic, and a customer who enquires in Arabic and gets an English reply usually does not reply again. And a large share of Abu Dhabi business sits in formal procurement cycles that need months of patient nurture rather than a three message sequence.

Your first three weeks

Week 1

Discovery call and process mapping. You receive a written document showing exactly where enquiries are currently being lost, with numbers where we can measure them. This is yours whether you work with us or not.

Week 2

Build. Workflows, CRM configuration, tool connections, bilingual sequences where they apply.

Week 3

Testing with real enquiries, then handover and team training.

Then monthly

Reporting on response times, lead volume and conversion, plus adjustments.

What we will not do. We will not automate a process we have not mapped. We will not sell you automation when your actual problem is that you do not have enough enquiries. And we will not build something your team will refuse to use, which is why the mapping comes first and the training comes at the end.

Why businesses in Abu Dhabi work with us

We map before we build. The most common reason automation projects fail is that someone imposed a new process on a team that already had one. We fit the system to how you work rather than the other way round.

We name the tools we use. Go High Level for the core, Zapier and Make for integrations, connected to whatever you already run for calls, calendars and invoicing. Agencies that will not tell you what they build on are usually reselling something.

And we hand over the keys. Your team is trained to adjust it themselves, because paying a retainer to change a message template is not a service.

Questions we get asked

What does marketing automation actually do for an Abu Dhabi business?

It removes the delay between an enquiry arriving and someone responding. A typical setup replies within 60 seconds via WhatsApp or email, logs the lead, assigns it, and chases it if nobody picks it up. Most businesses lose more leads to slow follow up than to price.

Do I need a CRM before we start?

No. If you have one, we build on it. If you do not, we set one up as part of the project. Most Abu Dhabi SMEs we work with start from a shared inbox and a spreadsheet, which is a perfectly normal place to begin.

How much does automation cost in Abu Dhabi?

A one off build fee of AED 2,999, then AED 1,999 per month for the platform, monitoring and management. Unlike ads and SEO, automation is not publicly benchmarked in this market, so compare quotes on scope rather than on price alone. Ask specifically how many workflows are included and whether the CRM licence sits inside or outside the monthly fee.

Can it handle Arabic and English follow up?

Yes. We build parallel sequences and route each enquiry by the language it arrived in. Replying to an Arabic enquiry in English usually ends the conversation.

How long before it is live?

Two to three weeks. Week one is mapping your current process; week two is building, week three is testing with real enquiries before handover.

Will it work with WhatsApp?

Yes, and it is usually the first thing we connect. WhatsApp consistently gets the highest response rates of any channel for UAE businesses, so most sequences lead with it and fall back to email.

What if my team does not use it?

That is the most common reason these projects fail, which is why we map your existing process before building rather than imposing a new one. The system should fit how your team already works. We train at handover and stay available while they settle in.

Can automation replace my sales team?

No, and it should not. It removes the chasing, the reminders, the data entry, and the review requests. Your team spends more time in actual conversations and less on follow-up they were not getting to anyway.
