Shahid Maqbool

Operating individually out of Dubai, Shahid Maqbool offers SEO consultancy to businesses across the United Arab Emirates, with services extending to Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Fujairah, Umm Al Quwain, and Ras Al Khaimah. The practice is built around a single consultant with more than 16 years of SEO experience, working with businesses of varying sizes, from small Dubai-based companies to larger organisations elsewhere in the UAE. Beyond client work, the consultant runs SEODebate, a platform for SEO learning and networking, and SEOwallet, a Chrome extension aimed at simplifying SEO tasks for professionals, content creators, and developers. The stated approach begins with a manual SEO audit to identify issues such as broken links, slow-loading pages, meta tag problems, off-page gaps, and search intent mismatches, followed by an identification phase covering strategic planning, keyword research, and competitor evaluation. On-page work involves keyword strategy, heading optimization, and content improvements, while off-page efforts focus on acquiring backlinks from authoritative sites to build branding and topical authority. Additional listed services include Google penalty recovery, using compliant methods aligned with current search engine guidelines, and technical SEO audits covering site speed and mobile usability. The declared service range also spans Pay Per Click, Social Media Marketing, Web Design, and Web Development, alongside stated experience in affiliate marketing, SEM, and CRO. A free SEO audit report is offered as an entry point for prospective clients to review site issues before engagement.
