No Retargeting: Recover 70% Lost Small Shop Visitors
No retargeting leaves 70% of small shop visitors lost forever, with UAE customers browsing "Deira iPhone repair" from Google Maps then abandoning for Instagram distractions during 2026's shrinking cookie era.
Shop owners ignore the 97% of first-time visitors who need 7+ touchpoints before booking—Facebook Pixel + Google retargeting recovers AED 12k+ monthly from "almost-customers" who viewed services but hesitated on WhatsApp quotes.
Why Retargeting Converts Cold Traffic
First visitors compare 3-5 shops. Retargeting reminds "you checked our Deira screen replacement—slots available now?" 3x lower cost-per-lead vs. cold traffic, 47% higher close rates from familiar brands.
