Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat and TikTok, chosen by where your customers actually are and measured by the enquiries they bring.

The channels, and when each one earns its place

Social media in Abu Dhabi works differently

The UAE has some of the highest social media use in the world, and Abu Dhabi has a particular mix: a large Emirati and Arabic-speaking audience, high Snapchat use among younger residents, and an Instagram-first culture for restaurants, clinics, beauty and retail. Content that performs in Dubai does not always carry over, because the capital's audience is more local and more family-oriented.

We start by working out where your customers actually spend their time, then run the fewest channels that reach them. For most Abu Dhabi businesses that is Instagram plus Meta ads. For some it is Snapchat. For many B2B firms it is LinkedIn and Google Ads, with social doing very little.

Paid social that counts enquiries

Most social media reports we inherit are full of reach, impressions and likes, and say nothing about enquiries. We set up the Meta pixel and Conversions API, track WhatsApp taps and bookings, and report what each lead cost. Campaigns that do not produce enquiries at a workable cost get cut.

Where social fits with search

Social media creates demand and search captures it. A campaign that gets people talking about your brand works better when they can find you on Google afterwards. That is why social usually runs alongside SEO services in Abu Dhabi, and why the landing pages come from our web design team in Abu Dhabi.

We run a clinic in Khalifa City. Should we be on Instagram, TikTok or Snapchat?

Buzzetric

Instagram first. That is where Abu Dhabi patients check a clinic before they book. Snapchat if you are after younger Emirati patients, TikTok only if you can post consistently.

Any rules we should know about for clinic ads?

Buzzetric

Yes. Healthcare advertising in Abu Dhabi needs Department of Health approval, and before-and-after claims are tightly controlled. We plan the content around that, not after a rejection.
