Free zone comparisons
Founders put two free zones side by side before they pick one. Each page sets out the differences in plain terms.
- IFZA vs DSO
- SRTIP vs DSC
- DGDP vs DPC
- DWTC vs DWC
Case study
startupu.ae helps founders compare UAE free zones and the cost of setting up a company. Its comparison and cost pages now bring in searches from people who are choosing where to start, and the team writes none of it.
Google Search Console, February to October 2026.
Where they started
Setting up a company in the UAE means choosing between dozens of free zones. Founders compare them before they ask anyone for a quote. startupu.ae was a new site with almost no history in Google.
The goal was clear: steady enquiries from founders who search before they choose, without the team stopping work to write.

The plan
Founders put two free zones side by side before they pick one. Each page sets out the differences in plain terms.
The first question is always what it costs. Each page answers it for one free zone.
Founders meet terms they do not know and search for the meaning.
Weekly articles. Each one is reviewed by a senior specialist before it goes live.
