Freelancers vanish when a bigger client calls; agencies hand your account to whoever's free. A consultant retainer gives you one named senior specialist, backed by a real team, direct WhatsApp access, and published AED pricing from day one.

Quick answer
Hiring an SEO consultant in Dubai means direct access to a senior specialist without agency account-manager layers or a freelancer's single-person risk. Azizi Technologies runs consultant retainers on request, with named case studies you can verify, published pricing, and a 30-day exit if it isn't working.

Who to hire, and why it matters
Do they rank themselves?
A consultant who can't get their own site or profile visible has no business selling you rankings.
Named, checkable case studies?
Not anonymised logos — real client names you can verify on Google or Ahrefs today.
Published pricing?
A real number range up front, not a mystery quote after a 45-minute discovery call.
Direct access, or a rep?
Confirm you're speaking to the person doing the actual work, not a relay.
Written monthly deliverables?
A specific list of what happens each month — not "we'll monitor and optimise."
Reasonable exit terms?
30 days notice is fair; a 12-month lock-in on an unproven relationship is not.
