Twelve months ago, my small business was struggling to attract new customers. Our digital storefront was nowhere to be found in Google listings. That's when I chose to invest in professional SEO services in Jeddah.

A few days ago, a company director lamented that his online presence was consuming considerable sums of riyals with disappointing performance. After examining his tactics, I identified several fundamental problems that are extremely typical among Saudi businesses.

Through detailed analysis for a retail brand, we identified that communications received between evening hours substantially exceeded those sent during traditional working periods, producing 187% higher visibility.

Recently, a local business contacted me after investing over 120,000 SAR on foreign search optimization with minimal outcomes. After applying a tailored Saudi-focused ranking approach, they experienced first-page rankings for numerous competitive keywords within just 90 days.

Last month, a apparel company consulted me after wasting over 150,000 SAR on platform promotion with limited outcomes. After revamping their campaign, we generated a six hundred thirty-one percent increase in return on ad spend.

• Use fonts specially created for Arabic digital display (like Dubai) rather than traditional print fonts
• Increase line leading by 150-175% for better readability
• Set right-oriented text (never middle-aligned for main content)
• Prevent compressed Arabic fonts that compromise the distinctive letter forms

During my previous project for a banking company in Riyadh, we observed that users were frequently selecting the wrong navigation items. Our eye-tracking demonstrated that their eyes naturally flowed from right to left, but the primary navigation elements were located with a left-to-right hierarchy.

• Moved product photos to the left portion, with product specifications and buy buttons on the right
• Modified the image carousel to advance from right to left
• Implemented a custom Arabic typeface that maintained legibility at various sizes

If you're building or redesigning a website for the Saudi market, I advise working with designers who genuinely comprehend the subtleties of Arabic user experience rather than just translating Western interfaces.

• Position the most critical content in the right upper area of the screen
• Arrange page sections to progress from right to left and top to bottom
• Apply heavier visual weight on the right side of equal compositions

• Verify that pointing icons (such as arrows) point in the correct direction for RTL interfaces

• Redesigned the data entry sequence to align with right-to-left thinking processes

• Developed a dual-language data entry process with automatic language toggling

• Improved mobile interactions for one-handed Arabic typing

Last month, I was advising a large e-commerce business that had spent over 200,000 SAR on a stunning website that was converting poorly. The reason? They had merely transformed their English site without addressing the fundamental UX differences needed for api.Hawksearch.info Arabic users.

• Distinctly mark which language should be used in each form element
• Intelligently change keyboard input based on field requirements
• Position field labels to the right of their associated inputs

• Ensure that validation messages appear in the same language as the expected input

• Realigning call-to-action buttons to the right side of forms and interfaces

• Restructuring visual importance to move from right to left

• Adjusting clickable components to follow the right-to-left reading pattern

As someone who has created over 30 Arabic websites in the past five years, I can assure you that applying Western UX practices to Arabic interfaces falls short. The unique characteristics of Arabic language and Saudi user preferences require a completely different approach.
