Key challenges

Challenge	Why It Happens	Our Approach
Strict Google Financial Advertising Policies	Financial services ads must comply with Google's financial products certification, limiting who can advertise.	Certified financial advertiser setup with compliant copy reviewed against Google and CBUAE requirements.
High CPCs in Competitive Finance Keywords	Finance keywords are among Google's most expensive, with CPCs of AED 80-200+ for premium terms.	Long-tail keyword strategy targeting specific product and intent combinations to reduce CPC while maintaining quality.
