    One of my client competitors got a higher ranking not only on search terms but also on Google map. Their website is clearly having keyword stuffing & every black hat thing they did for the website seo in UAE. How can i get over it, as i am following the pure white hat SEO practices?

    I think focusing on high quality backlinks, optimizing the website properly for on-page i.e. meta tags , title and alt tags should be there, writing relevant content and choosing the right keyword that you want to rank is all that matters. Improving the ranking and visibility of your websites on SERPs is not that easy task , it takes time. Ranking depends on various factors, you never know which one will make your race win. And winning the race without using black hat techniques is just great job. So just work on these factors, you will surely beat your competitor. And don't worry about that client's competitor, search engine will take action on that site once search engine figures out that their site contain keywords stuffing.

    Audit the page that is outranking your client. Note the word count, keyword density, H2/H3's (amount of and keywords within them), number of images, url structure, backlinks- everything. You can get away with a lot more "blackhat" techniques in foreign Countries.

    Keyword stuffing shouldn't be that effective from my experience. What do you mean with every Black Hat thing?

    They probably use Private Blog Networks (PBNs) which provide large amounts of link juice. Did you check their backlink profile with Ahrefs, Majestic etc. for PBN backlinks? Did you check the hidden backlink profile for hidden PBN backlinks with a hidden backlink checker?

    There is big difference between keywords stuffing and black hat ..... If they are ranking well means they are also doing white hat SEO but having not more ideas about on page and so you are seeing keywords stuffing issue. May be his page contents are informative according to his keywords, may be competition is low for his niche market .... there can be many reasons of ranking ... we can say more after check website.
