06 UAE Verticals · Retail

Marketing & AI for
retail & e-commerce.

We run performance marketing and AI automation for UAE retail and e-commerce operators — omnichannel retailers, marketplaces, and DTC brands across the GCC. SEO, paid, and lifecycle on one side; bilingual product content at scale, support copilots, and merchandising AI on the other.

GCC commerce compounds on both sides.

The UAE shopper switches between Arabic and English mid-session, expects WhatsApp support, and pays cash-on-delivery as often as card. The retailers who scale don’t pick between paid growth and AI — they run both: the content pipeline that feeds the catalogue, the support copilot that handles COD and returns, and the paid program that learns from real margin.

We build bilingual PDP and category content against your PIM, support and returns copilots on your actual order data, and merchandising agents tuned to live conversion — plus the performance marketing scoped against contribution margin, not ROAS theatre.

Finyki is remote-first in GST hours, fluent in the regional stack — Shopify, Salla, Zid, and custom commerce — and the COD, WhatsApp, and Arabic-first realities of GCC retail. Priced in AED.

02 What we run in Retail & E-commerce

Service shapes across marketing
and AI, tuned to GCC commerce.

Every engagement targets a commerce workflow with a clear margin or conversion impact — not a vanity chatbot or a vanity campaign.

01 · Content AI

Bilingual product content at scale

PDP and category generation in Arabic and English against your PIM — brand-voice harness, eval gate, and a human review step. Not mass-published LLM slop that Google buries.

02 · Support AI

Support, COD & returns copilots

Tier-one resolution, COD confirmation, and returns triage on your real order data — on WhatsApp and web, in the shopper’s language, with context-rich handover when confidence drops.

03 · Merch AI

Merchandising & recommendation agents

Collection curation and cross-sell against live conversion data, with the A/B harness to prove every change moves revenue-per-session — not CTR vanity.

04 · SEO

Category & intent SEO

Category-page SEO against bilingual shopper intent and AEO-tuned content for the answer engines GCC shoppers increasingly use to compare and decide.

05 · Paid & lifecycle

Performance & retention

Google, Meta, and TikTok scoped against contribution margin, plus lifecycle automation driven by behaviour — not calendar blasts to a tired list.

06 · RevOps

Margin & LTV intelligence

Contribution margin per order, LTV-to-CAC, and repeat rate on a warehouse layer you trust — the number the CFO is graded on, not a platform’s self-reported ROAS.

Why most GCC commerce agencies plateau.

English-only content, card-only checkout assumptions. Half the catalogue traffic is Arabic and a big slice of orders are COD. Content and flows built for a Western funnel leak the GCC shopper. We build bilingual and COD-aware from the start.

Content sounded like ChatGPT. Generic LLM PDPs tank brand voice and get caught in Google’s quality filter. We use a voice harness, an eval gate, and a human review step before anything publishes.

Nobody integrated to the PIM or the warehouse. Content from a stale spreadsheet breaks when the PIM updates; attribution that ignores warehouse order-truth is fiction. We integrate to the sources of truth.

Paid optimised to ROAS theatre. Platform-reported ROAS isn’t contribution margin. We optimise to the number that survives the CFO’s spreadsheet.

04 Questions Retail & E-commerce teams ask

Usually in this order.

Can the support and content AI work in Arabic and English?

Yes — bilingual is the default. Product content is generated in both languages against your PIM, and the support copilot answers in the shopper’s language across WhatsApp and web.

Do you handle COD, WhatsApp, and the regional payment realities?

Yes. COD confirmation, WhatsApp support, and the GCC checkout realities are designed in — not bolted on after a Western-funnel build.

Which platforms do you work with?

Shopify, Salla, Zid, BigCommerce, and custom / headless commerce. Platform choice is usually settled before we arrive; we build to it.

How do you keep AI content from hurting SEO?

Every published page passes a quality eval — uniqueness, grounding in your PIM, brand-voice consistency — with a human review gate. We never mass-publish un-reviewed output.

How much does it cost?

First production system typically AED 90k–240k; retainers from AED 25k–60k / month. Paid media is scoped separately. Excludes 5% VAT.
