VoucherCodes.ae × Delante

VoucherCodes.ae has a long history with Delante.

The first collaboration started in 2018. It was one of Delante’s first international projects, and over the following years, the client expanded the cooperation across several domains.

As the business grew, the client started building SEO capabilities in-house. In October 2023, SEO activities were fully moved internally. In 2024, conversations about returning to Delante began, and by the end of 2025, the client decided to restart the cooperation.

The reason was clear: the SEO process needed to be reviewed, reorganized, and supported with a structured recovery plan for the UAE market.

Because of our previous history together, we were not starting from zero. We already understood the coupon industry, the client’s business model, and the role organic traffic plays in voucher-based affiliate websites. That allowed us to move faster from diagnosis to action.

About the client

VoucherCodes- logo

VoucherCodes.ae is a coupon and promotional offers platform for users in the United Arab Emirates.

The website helps users find current discount codes, vouchers, and special offers for popular online stores, marketplaces, and digital services.

Its categories include:fashionbeautyelectronicstravelfood deliverye-commerceeveryday shopping

The business model is built around connecting users with brands and retailers through coupon codes, vouchers, and promotional offers. In this industry, SEO is one of the most important acquisition channels, because users often start their buying journey with searches such as “brand + coupon code”, “promo code UAE”, or “discount code”.

It is also a demanding vertical. Coupon websites compete not only for generic discount-related searches, but also for branded queries connected with popular retailers, marketplaces, and services. Freshness, credibility, content quality, and the ability to react quickly to changes in search results are all critical.

Collaboration timeline: from one of Delante’s first international projects to SEO Recovery12018The first collaborationVoucherCodes.ae first started working with Delante in 2018. It was one of the agency’s first international projects, which meant working with a different market, different competition, different user intent, and a different SEO pace from the very beginning. The cooperation was built on trust, consistent communication, and a strong understanding of how coupon websites work.22019Expansion to more domainsAfter the first stage of cooperation, the client started expanding the scope of work with Delante. By 2019, we were already supporting several domains owned by the client. This was an important signal: Delante was not treated as a one-off SEO provider, but as a partner trusted with additional projects and markets.32020Continued cooperation and project growthThe cooperation continued in 2020. Delante kept supporting the client’s SEO activities, relying on a solid understanding of the business model, website structure, and the coupon / voucher industry. For this type of website, SEO is a key acquisition channel. Users often go directly to Google when looking for discount codes through branded searches, “coupon code” queries, “promo code” phrases, and “discount code” searches.42021The client starts building in-house SEOIn 2021, the client introduced an in-house SEO role. Delante was still involved in the project, but the cooperation model started to evolve. This is a natural stage for growing businesses: as the company scales, some SEO capabilities move internally, while an agency may continue as a strategic, operational, or consulting partner.5October 2023SEO moves fully in-houseIn October 2023, the client decided to end the cooperation with Delante and move SEO fully in-house. This was an operational decision. The client had developed internal resources and chose to manage the process internally.62024First conversations about returningIn 2024, the first conversations about returning to Delante began. Over time, the client saw that the project needed a fresh external perspective, clearer SEO priorities, and a more structured recovery process. The discussion shifted toward rebuilding organic performance and restoring a stable growth trend.7Late 2025VoucherCodes.ae returns to DelanteBy the end of 2025, the client returned to Delante with a clear goal: to reorganize the SEO process and start rebuilding organic visibility. This was not a standard “new client” onboarding. We were coming back to a project we already knew well. We understood the business model, the coupon industry, and the areas that required close attention.82026SEO Recovery and the first signs of recoveryIn 2026, we started executing the SEO Recovery plan for VoucherCodes.ae. By June, the first positive signals were visible: Google clicks increased by 26% month over month, while Coupon Reveal Events increased by 200%. At the same time, we worked on the homepage description, a dedicated FAQ section, onsite recommendations, link building, and implementation reviews.

The goal of the renewed cooperation

The main goal was to bring structure back into the SEO process and start rebuilding organic growth for VoucherCodes.ae in the UAE market.

The website had experienced a significant year-over-year decline.

Organic visibility · year over yearGoogle Search Console — June 2025 vs June 2026.Google clicks▼ −75% YoYJune 2025 ~9.2KJune 2026 2.3KImpressions▼ −69.5% YoYJune 2025 ~1.1MJune 2026 335.7KYear over year, organic visibility was down sharply — this is the baseline the SEO Recovery is rebuilding from. Within 2026 the trend has begun to reverse: in June, Google clicks grew 26% month over month and Coupon Reveal Events rose 200%.

The year-over-year data showed the scale of the challenge. The first stage of the project was therefore focused on stopping the negative trend, improving website quality, and rebuilding Google’s trust in the site.

That was especially important in the coupon industry, where many pages follow a similar structure: brand name, list of codes, offer descriptions, FAQ, and store information. To regain visibility, the website needed stronger content quality, more uniqueness, better topical relevance, and clearer trust signals.

Results after the return to cooperation

In June 2026, the first positive signals started to appear.

Metric May 2026 June 2026 Change
Google clicks 1,830 2,300 +26% MoM
Google impressions 323,790 335,704 +4% MoM
Coupon Reveal Events 45 135 +200% MoM

All three core metrics improved in June 2026: clicks, impressions, and Coupon Reveal Events. The strongest growth came from Coupon Reveal Events, which increased from 45 in May to 135 in June — a 200% month-over-month increase.

The year-over-year data still showed the impact of earlier declines, so this is not a story of full recovery after one month. It is a story of returning to a project, restoring structure, and seeing the first signs that the SEO Recovery plan is moving in the right direction.

AI traffic as an additional quality signal

In June, VoucherCodes.ae also recorded 600 visits from AI tools and 186 conversions from AI-driven traffic. ChatGPT was the main source, generating 494 sessions and 179 conversions according to the report.

AI metric June 2026
AI traffic 600
AI conversions 186
ChatGPT sessions 494
ChatGPT conversions 179

This is an important signal for coupon and voucher websites. Users are increasingly looking for discount codes, shopping recommendations, and promotional offers through AI tools. For platforms like VoucherCodes.ae, visibility beyond traditional Google search may become an additional source of qualified traffic and conversions.

AI traffic as an additional quality signal

We came back to Delante because we needed a partner who already knew the history of the project, understood the coupon industry, and could quickly bring structure back into our SEO process. We needed more than recommendations — we needed a clear recovery plan, implementation control, and an external perspective to help us return to a growth trend.

How we approached the SEO Recovery1 Built an SEO Recovery planThe first step was to structure the work around recovery: improving website quality, rebuilding trust signals and gradually strengthening organic visibility.The focus was not only on individual keywords. The priority was to improve the overall quality of the website and the signals that influence how Google evaluates it.2 Created onsite recommendations and reviewed implementationIn June, we continued adding SEO recommendations, consulting them with the client’s team and reviewing completed changes.This is a key part of SEO Recovery. A list of recommendations is not enough — implementation has to be correct, consistent and reviewed after deployment.3 Created a unique homepage descriptionWe created a unique homepage description to strengthen topical relevance, content quality and alignment with the intent of users searching for voucher codes in the UAE.For a coupon website, the homepage is one of the most important entry points for both users and search engines. It has to clearly explain what the website offers, why users can trust it and how they can find working codes.4 Added a dedicated FAQ sectionWe also created a dedicated FAQ section for the homepage.The FAQ supports both users and SEO. It answers common questions, explains how the website works, strengthens trust and helps cover important search intent more effectively.5 Strengthened E-E-A-T and trust signalsTrust is critical in the coupon industry. Users need to know that a code is current, tested and safe to use. Google also evaluates these websites through the lens of usefulness, credibility and unique value.That is why the work included content improvements, FAQ development, trust signals and recommendations aimed at improving the quality of key landing pages.6 Continued link buildingIn June, we obtained 6 backlinks to strengthen the website’s authority and support target keyword rankings.Link building was part of a broader recovery process. It supported authority, but it did not replace the work on content quality, onsite improvements and trust.7Monitored visibility, traffic and technical issuesWe regularly monitored selected keyword visibility, organic traffic, Google impressions, 4xx and 5xx errors and the backlink profile.This allowed us to react to changes, evaluate implementation effects and keep the SEO Recovery strategy moving in the right direction.

The biggest challenge of the project was rebuilding trust in the website and adapting it to the modern quality standards expected by both users and search engines. We focused on improving the site’s usability, developing valuable content, and strengthening E-E-A-T signals. The initial effects of these efforts are already visible in the form of growing traffic and improved business results.

A trusted partnership during an SEO crisis

VoucherCodes.ae shows that returning to a trusted partner can be a smart business decision. When an agency already knows the project history, the business model, and the website’s past, it can diagnose issues faster, prioritize better, and start rebuilding results with less ramp-up time.

The first signs after the return were visible in June 2026: Google clicks increased by 26% month over month, and Coupon Reveal Events increased by 200%. At the same time, the year-over-year data showed that the project still required consistent recovery work.

SEO Recovery is not a one-off fix. It is the process of regaining control over visibility, website quality, implementation, and the direction of organic growth.

Thinking about bringing external SEO support back in?

We can help identify what needs to be fixed, which areas are holding back organic performance, and how to structure an SEO Recovery plan that rebuilds traffic and conversions.
