about
A healthcare marketing team that measures itself in booked patients.
Meraku is a Dubai agency that does one thing: make clinics, hospitals and specialists the answer patients find, in Arabic and English, across the UAE.
Healthcare only. Google Maps, search, Google Ads, AI assistants, social, video and PR, run by one team under one monthly retainer.
why only healthcare
Because a clinic is not a restaurant.
A patient choosing a dentist is nervous, in pain, or both. They search in two languages, they read every review, and they call the first clinic that looks like it will take them seriously. A general agency treats that search like any other lead. We treat it like the start of care.
Every account is run by people who already know the territory: what a DHA, DoH or MOHAP licence looks like on a page, why a before-and-after photo needs written consent, which claims a health advertisement permit will not allow, and how a receptionist actually asks for a review in Arabic without it sounding like a script.
That is why we turned down every other industry. The clinic owner paying us a monthly retainer deserves a team that has done this exact work for a clinic exactly like theirs, in the same emirate, for the same patients.
what we believe
Four rules, written into every contract.
The answer is decided in three places
The map pack, the organic result and the AI answer. A clinic that wins only one still loses the patient who checked the other two. So every plan covers all three from the first month, however small the retainer.
Compliance is a feature, not a delay
Health advertising in the UAE is regulated for good reasons. Copy that passes DHA, DoH and MOHAP rules is also copy a patient trusts. We write to the rules first, then make it persuasive, never the other way round.
Arabic is not a translation
Arabic-speaking patients search differently, phrase symptoms differently and read reviews differently. Our Arabic pages, listings, ads and replies are written in Arabic by people who speak it, not run through a plug-in after the English is done.
A report should fit on one page
Your monthly report shows consultations booked, where they came from and what each one cost. Rankings and traffic are in the appendix, because they are how we work, not why you pay.
how an engagement runs
From the first call to the quarterly review.
Nothing starts without an audit, and nothing continues without a number.
A thirty-minute strategy call
Before it, we check your map pack, your organic result and your AI answer for the treatments you care about. On it, we tell you what we found and whether we are the right team.
A written audit and a ninety-day plan
Technical, Google Business Profile, content, links, ads, AI visibility and compliance, ranked by what moves bookings first. The plan is the scope of the first three months.
One cycle, one report, one meeting
Work ships weekly. Once a month you get the one-page report and thirty minutes with the strategist who runs your account, in Arabic or English, whichever your management prefers.
A review of the whole plan
Every quarter we re-audit against the first one and reset priorities: new treatments, new branches, a new emirate, or simply more of what is working.
the team
Senior people, in Dubai, who answer the phone.
Every retainer has one named strategist who runs the account end to end. Behind them sits a small specialist team, all based in the UAE.
Strategy lead

Healthcare content, Arabic and English
Writers who have written for clinics before and know which claims a permit will refuse.
Technical SEO and AI visibility
Site health, structured data, and the monthly check of how the assistants describe you.
Google Ads and tracking
Campaign structure, landing pages, call and WhatsApp tracking down to the keyword.
Video, social and PR
Doctor-led filming in your clinic, the monthly calendar, and placements in UAE health media.
