Prepared for MBK Talent · Qaiyanat Soni, CHRO · September 2026

Strong substance.
Weak signal.

MBK Talent has more behind it than most firms its size: a real product ladder, a named team, a chairman with a public platform, and a free monthly event nobody else runs. Almost none of it reaches the phone of the person who would pay for it. This is what we found, who is winning your searches today, and the 90-day plan to change it.

Audited 3–6 September 2026Sources mbktalent.com, all 86 Instagram posts, LinkedIn, Google QatarAccess used none — public channels only
1 · Scorecard

Four channels. One verdict each.

Scored the way a buyer meets them: on a phone, from a search, before they ever speak to you.

What MBK has that most firms don't

  • A real product ladder: free Coach Connect → USD 330 assessment → QAR 15,999 certification → enterprise consulting
  • A named leadership team and a chairman with a public platform
  • A CEO with 23+ years, ICF and NLP credentials, airline, government and FIFA 2022 delivery
  • 26 named client testimonials
  • A free, live, monthly, bilingual event no competitor has

What keeps it hidden

  • The site fails on the device buyers use
  • No page is written for any search a buyer makes
  • No map listing, no reviews, no ads while competitors pay for the same searches
  • Content that could be any coaching page on earth, posted in bursts then silence
  • Credentials that exist but are surfaced nowhere
A buyer hears "MBK Talent" at a dinner, searches it on a phone, and finds no map listing, a services page that won't scroll, and an Instagram that stopped three weeks ago. That is the audit in one sentence.
2 · Audit — Website

Everything a buyer needs is on the site. Almost nobody can reach it.

mbktalent.com · 14 pages · technical findings only.

Services page on a phone
Services page on a phone (375 px). The dark box is the entire 17-service section — 150 px tall, holding 2,708 px of content.
Dead chat widget
Gallery page. A dead live-chat embed shows "Oh no! It looks like you're using an older version of your browser" to every visitor, beside the CEO's video.
IssueImpact, plainly
Services section renders as a 150-px scrollable box on mobile, holding 2,708 px of contentPhone visitors can't read the 17 services at all, assume the site is broken, and leave
No Google Business ProfileNo map pin, hours or reviews — invisible on Maps and in "near me" searches
No structured data (schema)No star ratings, event dates or FAQ answers in Google results, even once rankings improve
Page titles are "HOME", "ABOUT", "SERVICES" — no service, no city; the site name Google shows is "National Human Development Initiative Qatar", not MBK TalentGoogle can't match the pages to any search a buyer types; the brand doesn't appear in the result
No Meta pixel, no LinkedIn Insight TagEvery visitor is lost the moment they leave — no way to ever show them an ad again
Absent from page 1 on 5 of 6 buyer searchesPeople actively searching for exactly what MBK sells land on competitors instead
Zero Google ads ever runCompetitors are paying to reach the exact customers MBK is missing
Cloudflare 522 "connection timed out" observed during testing; Google's page tester failed to load the site twiceThe site can go down without warning — mid-registration or payment, the buyer leaves
Only checkout is PayPal in USDA Qatari buyer sees a foreign currency and an extra step at the moment of paying
Four different phone numbers across pagesBuyers don't know which is real; inconsistent details also hurt local ranking
Certification page still shows "Registration Open Now" for 5–8 AugustVisitors think they can register for a course that already happened
A second public page sells the same certification at QAR 12,999Undercuts the 15,999 list price in public; trains buyers to hunt for the cheaper link
3 · Audit — Instagram and LinkedIn

Four months of effort. Seven posts with a comment.

Instagram: all 86 posts exported and analysed, 29 April to 17 August 2026. LinkedIn: read logged-in on 6 September.

Three-month gap between the certification launch posts and the next company postThe same feast-then-silence pattern as Instagram, on the platform that matters most
4 · Audit — Google, their niche

MBK's niche is coaching, certification and assessment. It appears for none of them.

The 17-service menu is too broad to rank for. What MBK actually sells and can prove is executive and leadership coaching, coach certification and strengths assessment, in Qatar. Google Search Qatar, English, 6 September, page 1.

executive coaching DohaNot presentCoach Transformation Academy (4.9★, 338 reviews), Empower World, Red Rock, Noomii, HEC Paris; one sponsored result

Who is winning

Training centres with hundreds of Google reviews and a map listing. Coaching firms with ICF badges on every page. MBK has no map listing, no reviews, and no page written for any of these searches.

Paid

Sponsored results appear on two of the six searches. Google's Ads Transparency Center shows zero ads ever for mbktalent.com in Qatar. Competitors are buying the searches MBK's products answer.

Unused assets found

A YouTube channel with testimonial shorts (brand video: 4 views in two months) and a Facebook page still named "MBK consulting" with ten followers. Both exist, neither is connected to anything.

5 · Competitors

Both rivals lead with credentials. MBK has better ones and shows none.

Where MBK loses today

  • No cheap public entry point; the nearest competitor's is $99
  • Credentials hidden while rivals lead with them
  • No reviews, no map listing, no paid presence

Where MBK can win

  • Coach Connect — a free, live, monthly, bilingual event nobody else runs
  • A CEO whose record outweighs either rival's, once it is shown
  • A chairman with a public platform and a holding group of 27 companies as first proof

What we take from them

  • Credentials on every page, not one
  • Reviews collected deliberately, month after month
  • A low-commitment first step made visible: the free masterclass, promoted as the door
6 · 90-day plan — platform fixes

Platform by platform. Fix, then build.

Reverse the wrongs first. Every line answers a finding above.

Website · days 1–30

  • Google Business Profile live with hours, photos, correct phone — by day 14
  • All 14 page titles and descriptions rewritten with the service name and city; site name set to MBK Talent
  • Page copy carries the words buyers search: executive coaching, leadership training, coach certification, strengths assessment
  • Schema markup: organisation, services, events (Coach Connect), FAQs
  • Meta pixel and LinkedIn Insight Tag installed in week 1
  • Mobile embeds rebuilt so every section scrolls on a phone
  • One name, one address, one phone number everywhere
  • Certification page dated correctly; discount page removed or merged
  • WhatsApp on every page; QAR pricing shown; enquiry form routed to MBK same day
  • Dead chat widget removed; YouTube and Facebook linked and renamed

Instagram · from day 1

  • Posting resumes at 3 a week, steady — no bursts, no gaps
  • A fixed hashtag set on every post; every post geotagged
  • Posting times tested against real audience activity
  • Real faces, real client stories, Coach Connect moments — not aphorisms
  • Trackable link in the bio; the free masterclass or assessment as the visible first step

LinkedIn · from day 1

  • Company page publishes its own posts; stops reposting the CEO
  • CEO and Qaiyanat post under their own names, ghost-written from one 45-minute interview a month, approved by them first
  • Hashtags cut to 3–5; #BetterUp removed
  • About text and banner changed from "MBK Consulting" to MBK Talent
  • Monthly LinkedIn newsletter to the 2,679 followers

Google · two tracks, not just ads

Organic — free, slower, permanent. The titles, copy, schema and Business Profile work teaches Google what each page offers. Over 60–90 days the pages start matching buyer searches naturally. No cost per click, and it keeps working after the work is done.

Paid — immediate, stops when spend stops. Meta ads fill Coach Connect from mid-month 1; search ads on the five missing searches start at day 45, once the site is fixed, so MBK is visible while the organic work takes hold.

We fix the site so Google finds you for free, forever. Ads are the bridge while that takes hold.

7 · 90-day plan — the engine

You talk for 45 minutes a month. We do everything else.

The shoot, the calendar, the strategy, and the three things a standard package would miss.

The monthly shoot

  • One day a month, third Saturday, at Coach Connect (Innovation Cafe, Lusail)
  • Captures: CEO and Qaiyanat talking-head clips, attendee testimonials, the room, portraits
  • This one day feeds that month's videos, posts and proof content
  • First shoot: Coach Connect, 19 September — "Navigating Career Transitions"

The monthly content calendar

  • 4 videos — captioned insights from the CEO and Qaiyanat, Coach Connect moments, testimonial stories
  • 12 designed posts — 8 LinkedIn expert posts, 2 framework carousels, 2 event or team posts
  • 8 stories + 1 LinkedIn newsletter
  • Made once, published to LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook; carousels exported as PDF for LinkedIn
  • Approved by MBK before the month starts; mapped to the four pillars below

The four content pillars — what every post is for

The problem

Why it matters: managers who can't lead, talent that leaves, teams that underperform. Makes the buyer recognise their own situation.

The proof

Evidence MBK solves it: client stories, cohort results, frameworks, reviews. Turns interest into trust.

The person

The CEO and Qaiyanat as credentialed experts with a point of view. People hire people they've been reading.

The path

How to start: the free masterclass, the assessment, WhatsApp. Every month, a clear next step.

The strategy: Voices → Proof → Demand

Voices — credibility first, then posts

By day 14: real bios for Avinash Deshpande (ICF, NLP, 23+ years, airline, government and FIFA 2022 delivery, 4,000+ leaders coached) and Qaiyanat Soni — on LinkedIn About, the website team page, and a pinned introduction post.

Then: advice posts that could only come from that person's experience. Buyers trust a person they've been reading, not a logo.

Proof — evidence, not aphorisms

Testimonial videos from the 26 existing clients, recorded by MBK on a call and edited by Ignitro. The August cohort's story and graduate faces. Coach Connect filmed every month. MBK's own frameworks as carousels. Reviews collected on the new Business Profile.

Demand — somewhere to land

The fixed website with WhatsApp and QAR pricing. The free masterclass and the assessment promoted as the visible first step. Search ads on the missing searches. The monthly newsletter keeping 2,679 followers warm. Every enquiry routed to Qaiyanat the same day, with a monthly lead sheet.

Three gaps a standard package would miss — added explicitly

GapWhy it mattersAdded deliverable
Testimonial video is its own taskThe 26 testimonials are past individual clients, not Coach Connect attendees; they won't be in the room on shoot day1 a month: MBK holds a short online call with the client and records it; Ignitro edits, captions and publishes
Bios are a dated deliverablePosts under a name with no visible credentials have no foundation; both competitors show theirsCEO and Qaiyanat bios written and published by day 14, before any expert post
Reviews don't appear on their ownAn empty Business Profile looks almost as bad as noneEvery month, 3–5 recent clients or attendees asked for a Google review
8 · Ads budget and KPIs

Pixels first. Then Meta for Coach Connect, then search, then LinkedIn.

Conservative and phased. All ad spend is paid directly from MBK's own card on MBK's own ad accounts; Ignitro manages the campaigns and never invoices ad spend.

Month 1 · from ~day 10

Meta / Instagram · QAR 500–800

Pixels installed in week 1, then Meta ads to fill Coach Connect — 19 September first, then 17 October. Awareness for a free event suits Meta; no spend on the QAR 15,999 sale here.

Month 2 · from day 45

Google Search · QAR 1,500

Starts only once the site fixes are live — clicks to a broken mobile page can't convert. A test budget on the five missing searches gives real cost-per-click and cost-per-enquiry.

Month 3

Google 1,500–2,000 · LinkedIn 800–1,000 · Meta continues

LinkedIn costs far more per click, so it's a small, precise spend: job titles only (HR Director, CHRO, People & Culture), boosting the best post or the free diagnostic.

Total by month 3: roughly QAR 2,800–3,800 a month. Month 2's real numbers set month 3's budget, not this estimate.

KPIs — reported monthly, judged at 90 days

Tier 1 · Delivery (pass / fail)

Content delivered4 · 12 · 8 · 1
On-time publishing≥95%
Comment / DM response≤24h
Bios publishedday 14
Business Profile liveday 14
Website fixes completeday 30

Tier 2 · Presence (baseline → day 90)

LinkedIn followers 2,679 → 3,000
Instagram followers 2,041 → 2,250
Comments per post 0.1 → ≥3
Google reviews 0 → 10
Page-1 on the 6 searches 1 → ≥2 paid by day 45 · ≥1 organic by day 90

These targets assume the phased ad budget is live. Follower growth and page-1 presence are driven by ads as much as by content; if spend is paused or reduced, targets are revised in proportion. Ignitro is not judged on organic effort alone.

Tier 3 · Demand (what we hand over)

Qualified enquiries to MBKbaseline month 1 → 12 in the quarter
Acknowledged within 24h100%
Coach Connect registrations from our posts and adstracked
Cost per enquiry (search ads)benchmark month 2

An enquiry is a real person asking about a service by DM, comment, form, ad or WhatsApp. After hand-off it is MBK's sales process. Enquiry targets likewise assume the ad budget is live.
