Fit-out buyers hire the portfolio, not the company.
The Challenge
Fit-out buyers judge a company by its past work, but the company's portfolio was a slow gallery with no context. Ads brought clicks that looked at a few photos and left.

Benchmark: LocaliQ Search Advertising Benchmarks 2026, US search ads averages. This account ran in the UAE, where clicks usually cost less than in the US, so read the gap as a guide rather than a like-for-like test.

How We Did It, Service by Service
PPC
Campaigns by space type
Villa, apartment, office and retail fit-outs each had their own campaign, so the ad and the landing page matched what the buyer planned to build.
Website
A portfolio that sells
Each project page now showed the brief, the timeline and the finished space, giving buyers the proof they needed before enquiring.
Design
Galleries that do the work justice
We redesigned project galleries around large, fast-loading before and after images, so the quality of the work showed on a phone.
What We Delivered
- Space-type Google Ads campaigns
- Portfolio website rebuild
- Project gallery design
