SEO for the GCC — Arabic and English, built for the Gulf

The Gulf is one of the few markets where a bilingual website is not optional. Arabic searches carry real commercial intent, English dominates B2B and expatriate segments, and Google Business Profile is often the difference between being called and being invisible. Most GCC sites we audit have English pages only, or Arabic pages that are translations nobody would search for. We fix both.

  • Fixed scope and price agreed in writing before we start
  • Delivery for most builds: 5 days to 3 weeks
  • Client-ready for the United States, United Kingdom and Canada

What GCC search really looks like

  • Bilingual structure with correct hreflang: Arabic (ar) and English (en) pages that Google can serve to the right audience.
  • Arabic keyword research done in Arabic — the literal translation of your English keyword is usually not what people type.
  • Right-to-left layouts that actually work: typography, alignment, forms and mobile rendering.
  • Google Business Profile for UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman — with Arabic descriptions and accurate hours.
  • Mobile-first reality: the region is overwhelmingly mobile, so speed and tap targets decide your conversion rate.
  • Seasonality: Ramadan, Eid, National Day and back-to-school cycles change demand sharply — pages need to exist before the season starts.

The monthly work

We start with an audit across both language versions: indexation, architecture, hreflang, titles and meta in each language, schema, internal linking and speed. Then each month we optimise the pages that have impressions but weak positions and brief new pages for the gaps — usually a mix of Arabic service pages and English B2B pages.

  • $300/month — about AED 1,100 or SAR 1,125 at recent rates, invoiced in USD.
  • No lock-in: month to month, cancel any time.

Who we work with in the Gulf

Clinics and medical centres, real estate and property developers, hospitality, logistics, professional services and e-commerce. We are used to working with in-house marketing teams and PR agencies, and to keeping the technical work in your name and under your control.

FAQ

Questions about seo for the gcc

Do you write in Arabic?
We produce and brief Arabic pages, with native review of tone and terminology. The keyword research happens in Arabic from the start — that is where most GCC SEO goes wrong.
Do you handle Google Business Profiles in the Gulf?
Yes. Setup, verification guidance, categories, Arabic descriptions, service areas, photos and post cadence are part of the retainer.
What does it cost locally?
$300 USD per month, roughly AED 1,100 or SAR 1,125. USD is the invoice currency so the amount never drifts.
Can you rank in both Arabic and English?
Yes, and for most Gulf businesses that is the correct strategy: Arabic for consumer and local intent, English for B2B, corporate and expatriate searches.
