Every week we score the Instagram of every restaurant, café and bar in the UAE — the same way — and publish the top 20.
No opinions, no paid placements. Four signals, scored by the same formula for a 4,000-follower café and a 90,000-follower beach club.

The Instagram standings for UAE restaurants, cafés and bars.
Same four signals, every venue, every week.
What the score is
| Signal | Weight |
|---|---|
| How much people react to your posts | 35 |
| Posting consistency | 25 |
| Profile completeness | 20 |
| Variety of content | 20 |
Reactions are scored against the median for the venue’s own category and emirate, never an absolute number — so a 4,000-follower café and a 90,000-follower beach club are comparable. The score is deterministic: the same page always produces the same number. AI writes the explanation, never the score.
We publish the top 20 only, and show upward movement and new entries. If you’d rather your venue wasn’t listed, message us and it comes off, permanently, no questions.
What you get back
A rank is the headline. Underneath it you get the same four signals scored separately, so you can see which one is costing you places — and what to do about it, in plain words.

Looking for what a healthy account scores in your industry rather than your rank? That lives in the Instagram benchmarks.
Rather have it handled?
The people who built this board have run hospitality marketing in the UAE for 12 years. If your rank isn’t where you want it, we do the work — content, posting, paid ads, the lot.
