1. Check the trade licence
Ask to see the company's current UAE trade licence and its licensed activities, and whether it is on the mainland or in a free zone. Make sure the contracting entity matches the invoice.
2. Ask for results in your market
Marketing in Dubai often means Arabic and English audiences and several nationalities. Ask for examples aimed at your audience, with the measures used, not only screenshots of finished campaigns.
3. Know who runs your account
Ask whether the team is in-house or partly outsourced, who your day-to-day contact is, and which senior person reviews the work before it reaches you.
4. Own your accounts and data
Insist that ad accounts, analytics, domains and social profiles are set up in your name, so you keep access and history if the relationship ends.
5. Understand ad spend and fees
Ask whether the quote separates management fees from the money spent on ads, how it is billed, and what extra tasks, such as content or reporting, cost.
6. Agree reporting and exit terms
Settle what is reported and how often, who sees the raw numbers, and the notice period. Short initial terms let you test the working relationship before committing.
For vendors
The order is earned on evidence: client reviews, vetting, awards and the facts a business states on its own website, which we read and date. Nobody can pay to move up. Add reviews or verified facts to your free profile to move up at the next edition; there are two ways to stand out now, and each one says what it is.
