The Client

A corporate gifting and custom apparel supplier competing in Dubai's B2B gifting and apparel market — one of the most expensive, highest-CPC verticals in the UAE, where paid ad costs make organic visibility especially valuable.

The Approach

The work focused on aggressive technical SEO and high-authority entity building to compete directly in Dubai's hyper-competitive B2B corporate gifting and apparel search market, where established players and paid advertisers dominate the obvious search terms.

The Result

510% More B2B Corporate Inquiries, #1 Spot in UAE High-CPC Verticals

Google Search Console — account-level Performance overview for themerchlist.com, trailing 3-month window (25 Jun – 23 Sep 2026), captured September 2026.

About that 10.6 average position: with 1.87 million total impressions, that average spans an enormous and very broad tail of queries, most of them not the specific commercial terms the campaign targeted. It's shown here because it's real, not because it flatters the campaign. The terms actually targeted, below, sit at #1 individually.

Questions

About This Case Study

Is this Search Console data real, or a mockup?

It's real, taken directly from the themerchlist.com Google Search Console property: one screenshot of the account-level Performance overview, and one of the top-queries breakdown, both for the same trailing 3-month period.

The average position shown is 10.6 — doesn't that contradict the #1 ranking claims?

No. 10.6 is the average position across every query Search Console tracked for the site over the period — at 1.87 million total impressions, that spans an enormous and very broad tail of search terms, most of them not the specific commercial terms the campaign targeted. The terms actually targeted, such as "corporate gifts dubai" and "corporate gifts", hold the #1 position individually, as shown in the query table and verified by separate rank checks.

Why do queries like "mechlist" and "marchlist" show up in the results?

Those are misspellings of the brand name "Merch List" that people search anyway once brand recognition grows — a real, if unglamorous, signal that the brand is being searched for by name. They're included in the screenshot because it's an unedited Search Console export, not because they're commercially significant on their own.

What SEO work produced this result?

Aggressive technical SEO and high-authority entity building aimed at Dubai's hyper-competitive B2B corporate gifting and apparel search market.
