Arabic SEO for brands that want to win in the Gulf
A huge share of Gulf searches happen in Arabic, and far fewer brands compete well for them. I research how your customers really search in Arabic, set your site up correctly for right-to-left, and work with native writers on the content.
What's included
Every engagement is tailored to your site, but this is what it usually covers.
Arabic keyword research
Gulf dialect, Modern Standard Arabic and English-Arabic mixes, mapped to the right pages.
RTL technical setup
Right-to-left layouts, Arabic URLs or transliterated slugs, and correct language tags.
Hreflang for Arabic and English
Both language versions linked so Google shows the right one to each searcher.
Native Arabic content
Pages written or adapted by native Arabic writers, not machine translated.
Arabic link building
Links from Arabic-language publishers and directories in the GCC.
Saudi and UAE focus
Separate targeting for KSA, UAE and other Gulf markets where search behaviour differs.
Who it's for
- UAE and Saudi brands with English-only websites
- International brands launching Arabic versions
- E-commerce stores selling across the GCC
- Local service businesses targeting Arabic-speaking customers

Questions people ask
Should Arabic URLs be in Arabic script?
Either can work. Arabic-script URLs can help click-through but are long when shared. I'll recommend one based on your platform and how your links are shared.
Who writes the Arabic content?
Native Arabic writers on my team, briefed with the keyword research. You review everything before it goes live.
