Your Dedicated
SEM Team

After years of seeing talented people and promising projects fall apart due lack of clarity, protection and organized support, our founder, Faiz decided it was time for a change. 

Amateur teams. Agencies taking on projects beyond their capacities. Going MIA, leaving clients hanging. Unattractive creatives. Zero results. 

So he built Shadow Shift Solutions as the solution. A partnership with Shadow Shift Solutions gives you a strong, invisible structure behind your brand. 

We operate quietly in the background, aligning teams, securing relationships, and creating systems that allow our clients to work at their highest level. 

You can expect ethics, transparency and open two-way communication as we work tirelessly to remove the friction that holds your business back, so your best work can move forward.

FAQ's

Frequently Asked Questions

Here’s the answers to the questions we get asked regularly.

  • SEM (Search Engine Marketing) is a digital marketing discipline focused on increasing a brand’s visibility on search engine results pages (SERPs) through paid advertising.
  • This includes platforms such as Google Ads and Microsoft Ads (Bing), alongside other pay-per-click (PPC) tactics designed to drive highly targeted traffic at scale.
  • While some consider SEO to fall under the broader SEM umbrella, and technically, that interpretation isn’t incorrect, we define SEM strictly as paid search, not organic. This distinction allows for clearer strategy, accountability, and performance measurement.
  • Google Ads leads the SEM landscape, covering Search, Shopping, Display, YouTube, and Performance Max to capture high-intent demand at scale.
  • Microsoft Ads offers a strong alternative with lower CPCs, less competition, and a different audience profile. For eCommerce, Amazon Ads puts products in front of ready-to-buy shoppers, while Apple Search Ads is key for app discovery.
  • Most brands start with Google, but more advanced advertisers diversify across channels to maximise reach, efficiency, and coverage across the buyer journey.
  • Yes, using the location target feature on Google Ads, you can target specific areas in Dubai. You just have to make sure that you use the right location settings as you don’t want to include people outside your target area. 
  • This helps you narrow down your audience and reach them with tailored ads which increases your conversion rate.

If you have a generic brand name, and others are also bidding on it, then running a branded campaign is better in terms of gaining creating awareness about your brand. Bidding on your brand name has many benefits, but you should assess various factors before doing so. For instance, if you have a strong organic presence then you won’t need to run ads unless you’re running promotions.

You’ll have to analyse both in platform and external metrics to measure the effectiveness of your Google Ads campaign. 

In-platform metrics include conversions, conversion rates, revenue and ROAS. External platforms include CPA, MER, and customer lifetime value (CLV).
