Property Maintenance Companies · Dubai
Property Care
A property maintenance company with 13 technicians based in Arabian Ranches, serving the wider Arabian Ranches area and focused on annual maintenance contracts for villas and apartments, plus MEP maintenance. Before working with us, 59% of enquiries came through ServiceMarket and similar paid platforms, where the same lead often went to three or four competitors. The goal was more exclusive enquiries, a lower cost per contract and a pipeline the owner controls.

The challenge
Where the business was stuck
- Many enquiries are one-off jobs, while annual contracts are where the stable revenue is.
- Residential tenants, landlords and facility managers all need different messaging.
- Competition from marketplace apps drives prices down for simple jobs.
- Peak season (ac-related maintenance peaks in summer, while move-in and move-out work follows leasing cycles) was not being planned for, so budget ran out when demand was highest.
The approach
Two services, one goal
We focused on Lead Generation Program and CRM Follow-up & Remarketing, the two channels with the best cost per contract for property maintenance businesses in Arabian Ranches. Every call, form and chat was tracked to a booked outcome from week one, so every decision was based on revenue, not clicks.
What we did
The technical work behind the numbers, service by service.
Service 1
Lead Generation Program
- Added the business to our exclusive lead generation program: one property maintenance company per service area, so leads are never shared or resold.
- Launched dedicated lead capture pages and campaigns for annual maintenance contracts for villas and apartments and MEP maintenance across 10 service areas in the wider Arabian Ranches region.
- Qualified every lead by job type, location, budget and timeframe before delivery, with instant delivery by WhatsApp and email.
- Replaced paid lead credits on ServiceMarket with a fixed monthly program and weekly reports on cost per lead and booked jobs.
Service 2
CRM Follow-up & Remarketing
- Connected every form, call and chat to a CRM pipeline with automatic WhatsApp replies inside 60 seconds.
- Built a 4-step quote follow-up sequence by WhatsApp and email for quotes that had not been accepted.
- Launched remarketing audiences on Google and Meta for site visitors and quote recipients, with job-specific ads and reviews.
- Added missed-call text back and reactivated 1,100 past customers with a service reminder campaign.
