Arabic SEO Setup
Your Arabic pages tuned to the words Gulf and MENA buyers actually type, checked by a native speaker before anything goes live.
An Arabic website is only half the job if nobody searching in Arabic can find it. Arabic SEO Setup optimizes the Arabic pages you already have for the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the rest of the Gulf and wider MENA. We research Arabic keywords for up to three countries, tune up to 10 pages, check hreflang and right-to-left display, and add Arabic details to your Google Business Profile.
- Arabic keyword research for up to three countries
- Up to 10 Arabic pages optimized and reviewed by a native speaker
- Hreflang, right-to-left display and Arabic profile details checked

What it is
Arabic SEO Setup is a one-time service that makes your existing Arabic pages easier to find in Arabic search across the Gulf and wider MENA. We research Arabic keywords for up to 3 countries, optimize up to 10 Arabic pages, check hreflang and right-to-left display, and add Arabic details to your Google Business Profile. We do not translate.
Why businesses buy it
Many bilingual sites have Arabic pages that were translated word for word from English. The wording often misses how buyers in Riyadh, Dubai or Cairo actually search. Titles stay generic, hreflang points the wrong way, and the layout can break on a phone. This service fixes the search side of your Arabic pages. Keywords are researched per country, covering Modern Standard Arabic and local wording where people use it. A native speaker reviews every page before it goes live. Rankings still depend on competition and on search engines, so we never promise positions.
Problems this solves
Arabic pages were translated from English and miss how buyers search
We research Arabic keywords for each country and rewrite titles, descriptions and headings around them. A native speaker checks every page before it goes live.
Search engines show the English page to people searching in Arabic
We check hreflang and language settings between your Arabic and English pages. Search Console is set up for each market, so you can see which version appears.
Your Google Business Profile only speaks English
We add your Arabic business name, description and categories to the profile. Customers searching in Arabic can then read your details in their own language.
The Arabic layout looks broken on some screens
Right-to-left display is checked on every optimized page. Problems are flagged in the report, with Arabic Right-to-Left Version available for a full layout setup.
A good fit if
You sell in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Egypt or Jordan and want to be found in Arabic search.
Your website already has Arabic pages, or you are adding Arabic Right-to-Left Version in the same order.
Up to 10 Arabic pages and up to 3 countries cover the markets that matter most to you.
Someone on your team can approve Arabic wording before changes go live.
Not the right fit if
Your site has no Arabic pages yet. Add Arabic Right-to-Left Version first, or alongside this service.
You need Arabic text written or translated for you. See Page Copywriting or AI Website Localization.
You are targeting several languages, not only Arabic and English. See International SEO Setup.
You want monthly SEO work and backlinks after the setup. See Growth SEO or Link Building.
You need a new English and Arabic website from scratch. See the Bilingual MENA Website Launch Bundle.

Questions about this product
Does Arabic SEO Setup translate my English pages into Arabic?
No. This service optimizes Arabic pages you already have. If your site has no Arabic version yet, add Arabic Right-to-Left Version, which loads your Arabic text with a proper right-to-left layout. For Arabic copy written for you, add Page Copywriting. AI Website Localization covers a whole site adapted for a new market. Arabic SEO Setup then tunes those pages for search.
Do you optimize for Modern Standard Arabic or Gulf and Egyptian wording?
Both, where searchers use them. Many searches in the region use Modern Standard Arabic. For some products and services, people search with local words, especially in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Egypt. Our keyword research for each country shows which wording buyers actually type. Your pages then use the terms that fit each market, checked by a native speaker.
Can one Arabic SEO order cover both Saudi Arabia and the UAE?
Yes. One order covers up to 3 countries, such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar. Each country gets its own keyword research and its own Search Console setup. If you need more than 3 countries or more than 10 pages, add a note at checkout and we send a written Change Quote.
Will Arabic SEO Setup get my site to the top of Google in the Gulf?
No one can promise that. This service makes your Arabic pages clearer to search engines and closer to how buyers search. Where you then rank depends on your competitors, your content and search engine decisions. We set up Search Console for each market, so you can watch how your Arabic pages perform after the changes go live.
What if our Arabic pages have layout problems on mobile?
We check right-to-left display on every optimized page and list what we find. Small display issues tied to the pages we optimize are flagged in the report with a clear note on the cause. Rebuilding a broken Arabic layout is a different job. Arabic Right-to-Left Version sets up the layout properly on the website builds it is offered with.
Who owns the Arabic keyword map and the Search Console properties?
You do. The keyword map and report are yours to keep and share with any writer or agency. Search Console properties and your Google Business Profile stay under your own Google accounts. We work through invited access, and you can remove it as soon as the report is delivered.
How is Arabic SEO Setup different from International SEO Setup?
Arabic SEO Setup is built for one language across Gulf and MENA countries. It covers Arabic keyword research, page optimization and native-speaker review. International SEO Setup plans the structure for up to 3 languages or countries, with URLs, hreflang and sitemaps for each market. If Arabic and English are your only languages, this service goes deeper into the Arabic pages.
What happens after the Arabic SEO report is delivered?
You keep the keyword map, the optimized pages and the written report, and you can remove our access. The report lists what changed on each page and what to watch in Search Console. If you want ongoing work, Growth SEO can carry on each month, and Link Building can add backlinks. Neither is required.
