Six campaigns, six definitions of a good result. A cost per lead only means something next to the budget it was earned on, so both are shown together throughout.

6 Campaigns
AED 110,000 Combined Monthly Ad Spend
1,386 Conversions — 960 leads, 426 purchases
AED 49–155 Cost per Conversion Range

Campaigns are shown by industry rather than by name. Advertising accounts, unlike a website or an identity, are not public work, and the clients behind them have not been named.

Cost per conversion

Each bar is that campaign’s own monthly ad spend divided by the conversions it produced. The spread — three times as much for a freight enquiry as for a training enquiry — is the point: there is no single number that counts as a good cost per lead.

EDUCATION AED 49 Cost per Lead · AED 12,000/mo
E-COMMERCE AED 59 Cost per Purchase · AED 25,000/mo
BEAUTY & AESTHETICS AED 63 Cost per Lead · AED 18,000/mo
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AED 85 Cost per Lead · AED 10,000/mo
REAL ESTATE AED 140 Cost per Lead · AED 30,000/mo
LOGISTICS & SHIPPING AED 155 Cost per Lead · AED 15,000/mo
REAL ESTATE Google Search

REAL ESTATE CAMPAIGN IN DUBAI

A Search campaign focused on generating qualified enquiries from users actively searching for properties in Dubai.

214
QUALIFIED LEADS
Cost per Lead AED 140
Conversion Rate 5.8%
CTR 6.3%
Average CPC AED 3.10
Monthly Ad Spend AED 30,000

The largest budget in this set and the most expensive lead in it. Dubai property is among the most contested auctions in the country and AED 3.10 a click is the price of standing in it. The figure that carries the rest is the 6.3 percent click-through rate: at that cost per click, the ads were being chosen rather than merely shown.

BEAUTY & AESTHETICS Search + Remarketing

AESTHETIC CLINIC IN DUBAI

A high-intent Search campaign targeting users actively researching aesthetic treatments and clinics.

286
LEADS
Cost per Lead AED 63
Conversion Rate 9.4%
CTR 7.1%
Average CPC AED 2.86
Monthly Ad Spend AED 18,000

Aesthetic treatments are searched for by name, so the ads can answer the exact query instead of talking around it — which is where a 7.1 percent click-through rate comes from. Remarketing runs beside the Search campaign because the decision rarely happens on the first visit. AED 18,000 returned 286 enquiries.

LOGISTICS & SHIPPING Google Search

LOGISTICS COMPANY IN THE UAE

A B2B Google Ads strategy targeting businesses searching for freight forwarding, shipping, and logistics solutions.

97
QUALIFIED LEADS
Cost per Lead AED 155
Conversion Rate 6.1%
CTR 5.4%
Average CPC AED 4.22
Monthly Ad Spend AED 15,000

The most expensive click and the fewest leads — which is what B2B looks like on this platform. Freight terms are searched by a small pool of businesses and every competitor is bidding on the same handful of them, so a click costs AED 4.22. The 5.4 percent click-through rate is the other half of the same fact: not everyone searching those terms is the buyer.

EDUCATION Search + Performance Max

EDUCATION & TRAINING CAMPAIGN

A search-driven campaign designed to generate student enquiries for professional training programs.

245
LEADS
Cost per Lead AED 49
Conversion Rate 10.2%
CTR 6.8%
Average CPC AED 2.41
Monthly Ad Spend AED 12,000

The cheapest lead of the six and the only conversion rate above ten percent. What is being asked for is small — a brochure, a call back — and Performance Max carries the Search campaign out to YouTube and Discovery, where people are still deciding what to study. The second-smallest budget on the page produced 245 enquiries.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES Google Search

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CAMPAIGN

A lead generation campaign targeting businesses actively searching for professional services in Dubai.

118
QUALIFIED LEADS
Cost per Lead AED 85
Conversion Rate 8.3%
CTR 7.4%
Average CPC AED 3.36
Monthly Ad Spend AED 10,000

The smallest budget here, and the highest click-through rate of all six. AED 10,000 does not go far in Dubai, so the campaign is narrow on purpose: a short keyword list, tight match types and nothing spent outside the terms that had already produced enquiries. That discipline is what 118 qualified leads at AED 85 costs.

E-COMMERCE Shopping + Performance Max

E-COMMERCE CAMPAIGN

A sales-focused strategy combining Google Shopping, Performance Max, and remarketing.

426
PURCHASES
Cost per Purchase AED 59
Conversion Rate 4.6%
ROAS 5.2x
Conversion Value AED 130,000
Monthly Ad Spend AED 25,000

The only campaign on this page measured on revenue instead of enquiries. AED 25,000 of spend returned AED 130,000 in tracked sales — 5.2 times the budget — across 426 purchases at AED 59 each. The 4.6 percent conversion rate is the lowest of the six, and in retail that is ordinary: the visitor is comparing, not enquiring. ROAS is the number this campaign is steered by.
