- Native keyword research, not translated keyword lists
- Arabic SEO: dialects, spelling variants and right-to-left technical details

Who it’s for
Brands selling across the GCC, Europe or the US, sites with Arabic and English versions, and stores expanding into new markets.

- Canonical and hreflang alignment, and no cross-language canonicals
- Automated hreflang QA: crawl-based reciprocity checks after every release

Frequently asked questions
Do you do Arabic SEO?
Yes. Arabic is my native language and I work professionally in English, including keyword research and content for Saudi Arabia, the UAE and the wider region.
Should I use subfolders or separate domains?
It depends on your markets, team and platform. I compare the options for your case and recommend one.
Do you write the Arabic content?
I do native Arabic keyword research and briefs, and I review Arabic pages for search intent. Your writers or mine can produce the final copy, depending on the project.
Do I need separate domains for each country?
Not usually. Subfolders are often simpler and share authority, but the right choice depends on your teams, legal needs and platform.
