By creating dedicated sector specific pages and utilizing the brands network for speakers and influencers via interviews, we created a content strategy that saw a 500% increase in SEO leads generated.

The results

The problem

Despite having a strong brand presence within the tech and innovation community – particularly through social platforms, industry networking, and its reputation in the region – the brand’s organic search visibility was not aligned with its offline and social authority.

While the show was well-known in the GCC and regularly engaged with thousands of industry professionals locally, its international SEO footprint was significantly underdeveloped.

This gap was most visible in high-value regions such as the United States, wider North America, and Europe. In these markets, the brand struggled to appear for core industry search terms, event-related queries, and broader category demand.

This lack of visibility directly impacted lead generation: inbound interest from international audiences remained low, and the brand became overly reliant on paid channels, outbound efforts, or existing networks to attract non-MENA prospects.

The solution

To shift GITEX Global from a regionally dominant brand to a truly international organic performer, we developed a content-led SEO strategy focused on relevance, regional intent, and authority building.

1. Regionalized Landing Pages
We created dedicated landing pages tailored to the regions we needed stronger visibility in – including the US, North America, and Europe. These pages were built to align with the search behaviors of each market, ensuring they captured location-specific event queries, industry interests, and commercial intent.

2. Sector-Specific Content Expansion
GITEX is a multi-vertical technology event, so we built pages that highlighted the depth of each sector: AI, Cybersecurity, Mobility, Cloud, HealthTech, and more. These sector pages gave us a targeted way to compete for high-intent, high-volume industry keywords, while showcasing the show’s authority across different innovation categories.

3. Speaker-Driven Interview Content
GITEX attracts world-class speakers, and we turned that into an SEO asset. We developed interview-based content featuring these industry leaders, leveraging the naturally high search volume behind their names.

Together, these three components formed a scalable content engine designed to increase the brand’s visibility, expand its authority footprint, and capture international demand more effectively.
