Vista by Lara Opens AI-Led Shopify Growth Studio in UAE

Vista by Lara has unveiled an enhanced design and digital growth studio in the UAE, marrying artificial intelligence with Shopify-centric services to assist local brands in accelerating sales, improving customer experience and scaling operations. The Dubai-based outfit offers a full suite of tools including Shopify storefront construction, conversion rate optimisation, search engine optimisation, advanced analytics and proprietary AI creative utilities.

Dr Lara, founder of Vista by Lara, emphasised that being discovered through organic search remains among the most efficient marketing channels in the Gulf region. She outlined that the studio’s aim is to deliver modern digital storefronts, rigorous tracking systems and consistent brand visuals while using AI to compress work timelines that traditionally span many months.

Services include custom Shopify builds and upgrades with theme customisation, performance and site-speed tuning, support for English and Arabic localisation, and ensuring VAT compliance for business operations in the UAE and wider GCC. CRO and SEO programmes will cover improving site architecture, implementing structured product schemas, optimising internal linking, content aligned to search intent, and other tactics to boost visibility, conversion and retention.

Analytics and tracking capabilities involve implementing GA4 and Google Tag Manager, server-side conversion API readiness, as well as dashboard tools that provide clarity and actionable insights. Vista by Lara is also building AI-powered creative tools for marketers and merchandisers: image generation via CGI prompts; tools for visual content automation like Pinterest Auto-RSS; interactive site elements such as spin-to-win offers, before/after sliders and flipbooks; vertical domain utilities including “Scent Studio” for perfume brands and “Skin Analyzer” for clinics.

Focus areas for their clients include fashion & accessories, food & beverage, clinics, real estate, legal services and B2B brands. Bilingual content and localisation features are cornerstones of their offering, alongside compliance with local regulations and tracking standards.

Vista by Lara arrives amid heightened demand across the GCC for digital transformation tools combining creativity, AI and data science. As e-commerce competition intensifies, businesses seek not only appealing storefronts but measurable growth, faster deployment cycles and continuous optimisation. The studio’s model reflects broader trends in the region: investing in AI tools that assist both brand building and operational efficiency.
