The same is true for the Arabic audience. You need to know about the Arab culture and your target demographic to nail Arabic SEO.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How will it benefit you? Your business would choose the correct targeting audience for their campaigns, saving your money and time by investing your SEO efforts in what can generate a healthy ROI.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"understand-arab-customers\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Understand Arab Customers<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How are Arab consumers? You need to answer this question before optimizing your website for Arab search audiences. Here is some information about Arabs that can help you:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many Arabs are window shoppers, so consider remarketing to them<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">They are brand conscious\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Purchasing is a social activity, and product recommendations are important<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Arabs place a high value on trends and fashion<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">They like to show their status with status symbols<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Arabs are generally spiritual and expect you to respect their religion<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">They like to make others in their tribe or community happy<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Shame and honor are great drivers in Arab culture<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Arabs like to bargain and seal good deals in business\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A wide range of Arabs like to communicate in Arabic<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Most Arabs are young with 50% less than 25 years old in a few Gulf nations<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"mobile-is-crucial-in-arabic-seo\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mobile is Crucial in Arabic SEO<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Today most Arabs access the web on their mobile devices instead of desktops. And we can get that, given that half of their population is under 25.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So, SEO agencies in Dubai should target mobile SEO audiences that makeup about 90 to 95% of the Arab population that use the internet on their mobile phones.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What should you do? Make your Arabic website intuitive, lightning-fast, and light. Machine translation on a site can split components on an Arabic mobile website, which hinders a visitor\u2019s ability to buy something or convert it from their device. A native speaker should <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalgravity.ae\/services\/translation-services-company-dubai\/\">translate<\/a> and do CSS styling for the Arabic version of your website.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-can-you-rank-on-google-arabic\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How Can You Rank on Google Arabic?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-consider-website-visitors-that-can-convert\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1- Consider Website Visitors That Can Convert<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Businesses usually want to rank for multiple keywords with high search volume, which can be quite competitive in English search results. However, surprisingly it&#8217;s easy to rank for high search volume keywords in Arabic search engine results, thanks to the low competition in industries in the Arabic language.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You don&#8217;t need just traffic but visitors who can be converted in some way. We recommend you use keywords that can fulfill a search intent to take a conversion action, such as submitting an inquiry, signing up, purchasing, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Brands should target such keywords initially, and after substantially covering those search terms, they can move towards higher search volume terms with less conversion focus in their intent.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-perform-arabic-keyword-research\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2- Perform Arabic Keyword Research<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Keyword research is quite similar for Arabic keywords to how you do for English SEO. However, you must understand its limitations and distinct implications.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Businesses can use keyword research tools such as Google Ads keyword planner or other external tools to some extent for performing Arabic keyword research with some limitations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-think-about-keyword-spelling\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">3- Think About Keyword Spelling<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Our team has been working in Dubai\u2019s SEO field for over a decade. We have learned that different Arabic speakers use different spellings of the same keywords which generates different search results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Our experience tells us that a keyword\u2019s informal spelling generally has the highest search volume because most Arabs type in a less formal lazy way when searching.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It especially happens with keywords with alef in them. Some Arabic searchers type alef with hamza and some without hamza which significantly influences the search results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This small difference may lead to a tremendous difference in the results that show up on Google for a specific keyword.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-consider-preference-and-dialect-differences\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">4- Consider Preference and Dialect Differences<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another problem that erupts with Arabic keyword research correlates with keyword usage by country. For instance, Egyptians call a car an Arabaya, but Saudi Arabian searchers will use the word \u201cSyarra\u201d for a vehicle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Multiple keyword research and SEO tools don\u2019t give a substitute for a keyword for another nation, so many marketers unknowingly miss the other versions of these keywords in their research.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5-optimize-arabic-meta-descriptions-and-title-tags\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">5- Optimize Arabic Meta Descriptions and Title Tags<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You should optimize your title tags and metadata to rank higher in English search engine result pages. The same is true for your Arabic SERPs. You should conduct proper keyword research and optimize your descriptions and titles in Arabic in the same way you do in English.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ensure your main keyword is in the page\u2019s title, and attempt to incorporate a secondary keyword if you can do so naturally. Add an Arabic CTA and variations on the main keyword in your meta descriptions, as they can boost your local SEO in Dubai.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[custom_html_subscribe]<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6-create-winning-arabic-content\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">6- Create Winning Arabic Content<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Arabic content will attract more visitors when executed rightly, compared to any other ranking signal. We have already mentioned that many keywords have meager competition in Arabic. It means if you upload Arabic content on your site, some of the pages could rank for long tail keywords as search queries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some Arabic websites even rank in top positions for multiple search terms related to a niche with lower than five links to the site and a lot of Arabic content.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Not many websites try to rank for Arabic keywords, at least not in all niches. So you can get more visible for many search terms if you just put more content on relevant topics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We ask you to pay attention to other ranking signals, such as site speed, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalgravity.ae\/services\/off-page-seo-dubai\/\">link building<\/a>, and other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalgravity.ae\/services\/on-page-seo-dubai\/\">on page optimization<\/a> elements. They are crucial too, but you can achieve much of your SEO goals with Arabic content marketing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7-use-hreflang-tags\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">7- Use Hreflang Tags<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some years ago, Google launched tags, called Hreflang tags, to aid sites recognize which website pages were for consumers in many countries and regions.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These tags are critical to use if you have several language versions of your site on the same domain. If your business wants to reach all Arabic speakers worldwide, we suggest you put up hreflang tags.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Rel Alternate for Home Page<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&lt;link rel=\u201dalternate\u201d href=<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">http:\/\/example.com\u201dhreflang=\u201den<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201d \/&gt;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&lt;link rel=\u201dalternate\u201d href=\u201dhttp:\/\/example.com\/ar\/\u201d hreflang=\u201dar\u201d \/&gt;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You should set up a distinct hreflang tag for each page that references the page\u2019s alternate language version.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you want to have several components of your site target consumers in several Arab countries with distinct pages and content for every nation, a more complicated structure is required.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But, you should consult an expert on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalgravity.ae\/services\/local-seo-dubai\/\">local SEO in Dubai<\/a> before performing this as the wrong application may result in big traffic losses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8-build-links-to-build-your-seo\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">8- Build Links to Build Your SEO<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Link building is central to your SEO strategy\u2019s growth, and it&#8217;s the same for Arabic SEO campaigns. It&#8217;s worth the effort to earn backlinks from different Emirates across UAE with Arabic anchor texts that can benefit your website.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But here is the catch: very few websites will even think about linking back to other sites nowadays.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In many parts of the Middle East, there is less enforcement of copyright laws, so many sites will illegally take content from another site without giving it credit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalgravity.ae\/services\/off-page-seo-dubai\/\">off page SEO services<\/a> experts have devised a few hacks to attract more backlinks from the Middle East despite the difficulties.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There is another thing that we would like to talk about. Some companies keep the Arabic part of your site on the same domain as your English website. Then the backlinks you get from other regions and for your English website will count in the backlink profile of your Arabic site.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We have optimized many Arabic websites that get top rankings with no or few backlinks from Arabic websites because they had multiple high-quality links in English.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9-resources-that-can-link-out-to-your-website\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">9- Resources that Can Link Out to Your Website<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Most Arabic site owners ask this question how they can find websites to pitch to get backlinks? Our response will vary based on your industry. The first thing is to perform competitor research to find websites ranking higher in your industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Then use AHREFS or any other similar tool to check the backlink profiles of those websites. It will show you the resources that link back to your high-ranking competitors. You can pitch to some of the Arabic resources among them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But beware as the rules that work in the English SEO world to earn a backlink may not cut it in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalgravityksa.com\/ar\/services\/seo-ksa\/\">Arabic SEO<\/a> realm. Many Arabic websites won&#8217;t give you a backlink. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Don&#8217;t get disheartened, as our team has achieved this feat with digital PR campaigns. We utilize data journalism about the Arab region to drive backlinks from tremendous publications to reference some statistics or facts in our blog.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you have a good budget, try sponsoring a local event in your niche. Then you can get links on the host\u2019s website. You may get links from other businesses participating in the event.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Can you create some online tools like a quiz or calculator in Arabic? Then you can get some backlinks by this too if you perform the outreach correctly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But never pay just to get backlinks from a website that does this sort of business because they will inevitably get penalized, negatively impacting your rankings as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10-regional-hosting\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">10- Regional Hosting\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So, we talked about backlinks, metadata, tags, and content. What about web hosting? How can you find a good web host in the Arab world? Well, it&#8217;s challenging to get quality hosting services in this region.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many big brands host their site in Europe and employ a Content Delivery Network (CDN) to get their site loaded quickly in the region. Fortunately, AWS has begun boosting its hosting options in the Arab world, so we may see more businesses host here compared to Europe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">AWS now provides data center hosting in Dubai, Manama, and Fujairah. If you want your page speed to be the fastest in Gulf countries like UAE and Bahrain, you should host your website in one of these locations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">AWS is constantly working on its global infrastructure so more data centers can open soon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ready-to-unlock-the-true-potential-of-arabic-seo\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ready to Unlock the True Potential of Arabic SEO<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The throne of Arabic SEO has very few to no claimers for many industries.
