Hey all,

After two years of building, I'm exploring a sale of my AI-first SEO and digital agency. Listing it here in case the right buyer is in this community.

The business at a glance:

• UAE-incorporated, founded April 2024
• US, UK and Australian clients only
• Fully remote — team across UAE, India, US and Nigeria
• $1.2M TTM revenue
• $593K TTM SDE
• ~50% EBITDA margin
• 65% blended gross margin
• Zero debt, bootstrapped from day one

What it does:

Premium SEO and digital agency serving B2B mid-market and venture-backed businesses across the US, UK and Australia. Core service is a full-stack SEO retainer covering strategy, technical SEO, content, link building, web design, web development and attribution tracking — all under one roof. Three expansion services (web dev, web design, marketing ops) drive ~55% of TTM revenue through cross-sell into the existing retainer base.

Client base:

• 7 active retainer clients, all on auto-renewing contracts
• Includes a US-based $30B fintech and a Y Combinator-backed scale-up
• 89% of TTM revenue from clients already on the books a year ago
• $44.7K MRR, up 175% QoQ from the Q4 2025 dip

The interesting part — AI-first by design:

The reason the margin profile works at this scale. Proprietary tooling built in-house over two years:

• AI content writing agent
• LLM Visibility Tracker
• Automated proposal generator
• Custom client dashboard
• Chrome extension SEO checker
• In-house HR tool, Slack integration hub

Full codebase is on GitHub and editable by an AI coding agent — no developer needed in-house.

Team & founder involvement:

• 9-person ongoing team — tier-one global offshore plus US-based client success lead
• Total ongoing team cost: ~$12,400/month
• Founder currently ~60 min/day on the business in an observer role

Growth levers untouched:

• Total marketing spend across TTM was $3,200 (under 1% of revenue, vs 5–15% industry norm)
• No price increases on any client since launch
• 500-person email list unmonetised
• No organic content or brand-building investment

Why selling:

I specialise in taking businesses from zero to one. The business is at that point now — built, profitable, self-managing, ready to scale. I've got other ventures I want to take through the same journey. Not selling because of stress, decline or problems — selling because the next chapter is growth and that's not where my interest sits.

Asking:

$1.5M (approx. 2.5x TTM SDE — deliberately priced to attract serious operators)

Process:

Happy to share the full CIM, financials and Q&A under NDA. DM me if interested.

Hey Reddit,

I'm running a digital marketing agency based in Dubai, selling services to US clients, and I'm looking to bring on a few sharp salespeople to join the team.

What the role actually looks like right now:

- Hunting and prospecting — cold calling, cold emailing, LinkedIn and social outreach

- Being creative with how you get in front of US business owners (the obvious channels are crowded)

- Booking qualified appointments for our closer

- Running first calls on inbound leads we receive and qualifying them properly

- Progression: once you've proven yourself, you'll move into closing deals yourself with full commission upside

Who I want to hear from:

- Based in Dubai (non-negotiable — we meet up regularly)

- Actual experience selling digital marketing (please don't apply if you've only sold something unrelated)

- Hungry, self-driven, doesn't need babysitting

- Comfortable on calls with US business owners and decision-makers

- Can run a creative outbound campaign, not just dial the same script

What you get:

- Base salary + strong commission/bonus structure

- Clear path from setting appointments → closing deals → bigger commissions

- Work-from-home flexibility

- Team meetups at nice hotels and coffee spots around Dubai

- A real shot to grow with a lean, fast-moving team

If you're motivated and you've actually done this before, drop me a DM with a quick intro — what you've sold, your numbers, and why you want in.

Hi all,

I'm a serious cash buyer looking to purchase a 1 or 2 bedroom apartment in Dubai Creek Harbour (Creek Beach specifically). No other areas — I know exactly where I want to be.

My situation:

• 100% cash buyer, funds ready in UAE bank account
• No mortgage, no financing contingencies, no chain
• Can complete the transaction within 14 days
• Have already been through the buying process before, so familiar with DLD, NOC, and transfer logistics

What I'm looking for:

• 1 or 2 bedroom apartment
• Dubai Creek Harbour
• Open to ready/handed-over units
• Open to off-plan if significantly below market
• Furnished or unfurnished both fine
• Lower floors and non construction / road views preferred

Especially interested in:

• Distressed sales
• Off-market deals not listed on portals
• Motivated sellers willing to accept below current asking prices in exchange for speed and certainty
• Owners who need to close quickly and would trade price for a guaranteed cash transaction

Budget: Flexible based on the deal, but actively looking for opportunities below current market comps. The whole point is finding a deal, so list price = not interested.

If you're a seller in this position, or you're an agent with a genuinely motivated seller (not just a regular listing rebadged as "distressed"), please DM me with details: tower, size, asking price, and reason for sale.

Thanks
