Guide · Ad budget
How much should a small business spend on advertising?
Enough to buy the number of enquiries or sales you need at a cost per result your margin can afford, and no more until that cost is proven. Work backwards from the outcome, run a measured test for four to eight weeks, then scale what returns. For most SMEs we work with in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, that starts between USD 600 and USD 1,200 a month of managed spend, which is why those are the budgets built into our Advanced and Digital Marketing Presence packages.

Guide · Choosing an agency
How to choose a marketing agency in Bahrain or Saudi Arabia
Choose the agency that will name the number it expects to be judged on before any work starts, keep your accounts in your name, itemise its fee separately from ad spend, report against that number every month, write Arabic natively, and work without locking you in. Ask those seven questions, and read the answers against the agency's case studies rather than its promises.

Guide · Ownership
Who owns your website, domain, and ad accounts?
Your business should own all of them: the domain registered in your name, hosting in your account, admin access to the website, the Google Analytics and Tag Manager properties, and the Meta and Google ad accounts owned by your business with the agency added as a partner. If any of these sit in a supplier's name, you can lose them the day the relationship ends. Here is how to check, and how to fix it.
