SEO Company in Jeddah

What does an SEO company in Jeddah actually need to fix?

Most Jeddah sites we audit share three gaps: an Arabic version that was translated rather than researched, menus or catalogues locked inside images and PDFs, and no pages that match how local customers phrase their searches. Fixing those three usually does more than any amount of link building.

Everything else is ordinary SEO done carefully. Crawlable pages, clean structured data, fast loading on a phone, and reports you can check yourself.

Keyword research that sounds like Jeddah

An Arabic keyword list translated from English misses most of what people here type. Locals search in a blend of Hejazi colloquial Arabic, formal Arabic, English and Arabic written in Latin letters, sometimes inside a single query. A restaurant’s name might be searched in Arabic script, in English, and in two misspellings of each.

So we build the two lists separately. We start from your Search Console data where it exists, add competitor and Maps data, then check intent by reading the results Google shows for each term. Our free Arabic keyword research planner and Arabic dialect selector show part of that method.

Technical problems we keep finding on Jeddah sites

These turn up in nearly every audit:

• An Arabic site on a separate domain or subdomain with no hreflang, so Google treats the two versions as rivals instead of translations.
• Menus as images or PDF downloads. Google can’t rank a dish it can’t read, and neither can an AI assistant.
• Booking widgets that render the whole page in JavaScript, leaving crawlers an empty shell.
• Mixed-direction text that breaks on mobile, with phone numbers and prices flipping inside Arabic sentences.
• Heavy hero videos that look lovely on office Wi-Fi and stall on a phone in traffic on Prince Sultan Road.

Sectors where search decides the shortlist

Hospitality is where most of our Jeddah SEO sits. For our SEO work with Toki, a Cantonese and Szechuan fine dining restaurant, and Leylaty Group, a luxury events and hospitality group whose restaurant websites we manage SEO for, the job is to be found for the occasion as well as the name: a business dinner, a family celebration, a wedding.

Jeddah also runs on trade. Jeddah Islamic Port is the main sea gateway for western Saudi Arabia, and the freight forwarders, customs brokers and importers around it are searched in English as often as Arabic, by buyers comparing a handful of suppliers. Those sites need service pages that answer technical questions plainly, which we cover in more depth on our logistics marketing page.

How the first three months usually run

Month one is the audit and the fixes that block everything else: indexing, hreflang, speed, broken templates. Month two is research and page planning, with Arabic and English handled as separate briefs. From month three we publish, build links and report against the queries we agreed at the start.

We don’t promise positions. We do show you every change and what it did in Search Console.
