Landscaping

A 5-crew landscaping business based in Downtown Dubai, serving the wider Downtown Dubai area and focused on villa garden design and landscaping, plus swimming pool construction and landscaping. Before working with us, 69% 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 design enquiries, a lower cost per project and a pipeline the owner controls.

The challenge

Where the business was stuck

Landscaping demand is strongly seasonal, making cash flow and staffing difficult to plan.
Enquiries for small garden maintenance jobs crowd out larger design-and-build projects.
Commercial maintenance contracts offer stable revenue but require a different sales approach.
Peak season (outdoor projects peak in the cooler months (october to april), which is when campaigns should run hardest) was not being planned for, so budget ran out when demand was highest.

The approach

Two services, one goal

We focused on Meta Ads (Facebook & Instagram) and Content Marketing, the two channels with the best cost per project for landscaping businesses in Downtown Dubai. 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

Meta Ads (Facebook & Instagram)

Installed the Meta Pixel and Conversions API server-side, lifting event match quality from 5.0 to 9.0 out of 10.
Launched Instant Form lead ads with 5 qualifying questions (area, job type, timeframe) to filter out low-intent leads.
Tested 20 creatives: before and after photos, short job videos and owner-to-camera clips; the top 5 now carry the budget.
Built audiences from website visitors, video viewers and a 1% lookalike of past customers, excluding existing clients.
Ran click-to-WhatsApp campaigns so buyers could message the team straight from the ad.
