Bramleys Luxury
A 12-month SEO + PPC growth campaign (April 2025 – March 2026) that scaled organic revenue, rankings, and high-intent enquiries for a Dubai luxury resale brand.
The Client
Bramleys is a Dubai-based specialist in pre-owned luxury watches and designer handbags, founded by Dean Bramley. Operating for over eight years from a boutique store inside the InterContinental Hotel, Dubai Marina, the business serves collectors, UAE residents, tourists, and international buyers seeking authenticated luxury timepieces and handbags.
The company curates pre-owned watches from globally recognised brands including Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Richard Mille, Cartier, Hublot, Omega, Panerai, Breitling, TAG Heuer, Franck Muller, IWC, and Jaeger-LeCoultre. Their designer handbag collection features Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Dior, Gucci, Celine, and Fendi.
In addition to retail sales, Bramleys offers:
- Buy-back services
- Watch consignment
- Personalised sourcing
- Luxury handbag acquisition
- Online auctions
The Challenge
When we began the campaign in April 2025, a comprehensive digital audit revealed significant gaps between Bramleys’ in-store reputation and its online performance.

- Monthly organic traffic: 1,140 sessions
- High bounce rate: 72%
- No model-specific visibility (e.g., Rolex Submariner price Dubai)
Technical, On-Page & UX Issues
