Frequently Asked Questions About Social Media Marketing in UAE
Which social media platforms should my UAE business use?
Platform selection depends on your target audience and business type. For B2C brands targeting UAE consumers, Instagram and Facebook are typically essential. TikTok is increasingly important for reaching younger demographics. B2B companies should prioritize LinkedIn. We recommend focusing on 2-4 platforms rather than spreading thin across all channels.
How often should we post on social media?
Optimal posting frequency varies by platform. We typically recommend 3-5 posts per week on Instagram, 5-7 on Facebook, 3-5 on LinkedIn, and 1-3 per day on TikTok/X for active accounts. Quality always trumps quantity—consistent, valuable content outperforms high-volume mediocre content.
Should we create content in Arabic?
For brands targeting UAE consumers, Arabic content significantly improves engagement with local audiences. We recommend a bilingual approach for most consumer brands—either separate Arabic content or integrated bilingual posts. Our team includes Arabic copywriters and content creators.
How do you measure social media success?
We track metrics aligned with your business objectives: reach and impressions for awareness goals, engagement rate for community building, click-through rate and conversions for traffic goals, and lead generation or sales for bottom-funnel objectives. Monthly reports show progress with clear explanations of what the data means.
How long does it take to see results from social media?
Social media is a long-term investment. Brand awareness and community building typically show measurable progress within 3-6 months of consistent effort. Paid social advertising can generate immediate results when properly targeted. We set realistic expectations during strategy development based on your starting point and goals.
Do you handle social media advertising?
Yes, paid social advertising is a core service. We manage campaigns across Meta (Facebook/Instagram), LinkedIn, TikTok, X, Snapchat, and YouTube. Our team handles audience targeting, creative development, optimization, and reporting to maximize your advertising ROI.
Can you work with our existing brand guidelines?
Absolutely. We adapt to your established brand identity, voice, and visual guidelines. If you need brand development, our branding team can create or refine guidelines before social media execution.
What's included in community management?
Community management includes responding to comments and direct messages, proactive engagement with your audience and industry conversations, reputation monitoring, handling customer inquiries, and crisis response protocols. Response times and scope are defined in your service agreement.
How do influencer partnerships work?
We identify influencers aligned with your brand, manage outreach and negotiations, coordinate content creation and approval, and track campaign performance. Influencer fees are typically passed through at cost plus a management fee. We work with creators across all tiers—from nano-influencers to celebrities.
