Ecommerce agency pricing in Dubai at Ocean Partners Consulting, a marketing, CRM and AI consultancy with teams in Dubai and Barcelona, follows three steps: a margin and growth audit at AED 5,500 (deductible), a system setup from AED 18,000 and a monthly plan from AED 5,000. These are base reference prices, excluding VAT, adapted to each brand after the audit.
Reference prices, tailored proposal
We publish prices so you know the order of magnitude before the first call. They are not a fixed rate card. The final figure depends on how many markets and languages we cover, the ad spend we manage, the integrations with your store, courier, 3PL or ERP, and the creative volume you need. After the audit you receive a fixed proposal in writing.
How pricing is structured
Step 1: Margin and growth audit
AED 5,500, two weeks. We reconcile orders with platform data, review accounts, feed, flows and customer enquiries, and measure your margin and COD refusal rate. Deducted in full from the setup if you sign within 30 days. See what the audit includes.
Step 2: System setup
From AED 18,000, four to six weeks. It includes:
- Meta Conversions API on the server, Google enhanced conversions and GA4 with server-side tagging.
- Restructured Meta and Google accounts, optimised for new customers.
- An optimised product feed with margin and stock labels.
- Eight core Klaviyo flows: welcome, browse, cart, checkout, post-purchase, replenishment, win-back and VIP.
- An AI agent for order status, returns and FAQs in Arabic and English, with handover to your team.
- A WhatsApp flow to confirm COD orders before dispatch.
- A post-purchase attribution survey and a dashboard of revenue per dirham of ad spend, cost per new customer and lifetime value by cohort.
Step 3: Monthly plan
Choose the plan that matches your budget, markets and channels. Ocean Platform (light CRM, WhatsApp inbox and dashboard) is available from AED 500 a month if you need it.

Ad management in Grow and Scale is included up to a spend ceiling set in your proposal; in Scale, spend above that ceiling carries a 3% fee.
Retain suits brands that already have an ads agency and want to earn more from their existing customers through flows, campaigns, segmentation and AI-assisted customer service.
Grow is the plan we recommend for most brands. The problem that usually triggers the call, rising acquisition costs and attribution nobody trusts, is solved in ads, but margin is won in retention and service. Grow covers both with one owner.
Scale is for brands with larger budgets, several GCC markets, marketplace sales or a wholesale channel, which we can run in HubSpot if needed.
