Do you do SEO in Arabic? Most of my customers search in Arabic

0

My site is English only and my customers type Arabic into Google. Is Arabic SEO something different?

    Yes, and Arabic SEO is its own piece of work, not a translation of the English pages. A large share of searches in the UAE is in Arabic and most sites ignore it, which is your opportunity.

    What is different:

    • Keywords are researched in Arabic separately: people type "dentist in Sharjah" or "teeth cleaning" in Arabic words, not a literal translation of the English term, and sometimes in dialect.
    • Pages are written in Arabic by an Arabic writer, usually Modern Standard Arabic, not generated by a translation plugin.
    • hreflang is set so Google serves each visitor their language, and the right-to-left layout is an original version, not a mirror.
    • The Google Business Profile needs an Arabic description and services too.

    We start with a free audit and a bilingual keyword map, then send a monthly scope and price.
