Effective Electronic Communication Strategies for Saudi Companies
Recently, a Saudi company contacted me after using over 120,000 SAR on international SEO services with disappointing returns. After implementing a specialized Saudi-focused search optimization, they saw premium rankings for numerous competitive keywords within a single quarter.
Essential features included:
-
Mobile-first ad formats
-
Touch-to-contact extensions for voice-preferred customers
-
Application advertising for appropriate queries
-
Technology-adapted landing pages
-
Use fonts specially created for Arabic screen reading (like Dubai) rather than conventional print fonts
-
Expand line spacing by 150-175% for enhanced readability
-
Set right-aligned text (never center-aligned for primary copy)
-
Avoid narrow Arabic text styles that compromise the unique letter structures
-
Clearly indicate which language should be used in each entry box
-
Intelligently adjust keyboard language based on field expectations
-
Locate input descriptions to the right-hand side of their connected inputs

When evaluating online marketing options, don't be afraid to ask difficult questions. I've learned to directly ask: "Can I speak to your most challenging client?" The responses to this question tell you ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW about an agency's integrity.

Recently, my friend's web-based business was barely surviving in search results despite selling exceptional products. After applying the techniques I'm about to share, his search visits increased by over one hundred fifty percent in just 60 days.
- Relocated product images to the left portion, with product specifications and purchase buttons on the right-hand side

- Incorporated a custom Arabic text style that kept clarity at various scales
Through detailed competitor analysis for a store chain, we identified that emails sent between night time significantly exceeded those sent during standard working periods, achieving one hundred eighty-seven percent greater visibility.

Using comprehensive research for a food delivery company, we discovered that advertisements delivered between evening hours dramatically exceeded those delivered during standard optimal periods, achieving one hundred sixty-three percent better conversion rates.

After my expensive education in what DOESN'T work, I've realized that finding the premier digital agency isn't about who has the fanciest office or the most polished presentation. It's about performance, interaction, and comprehending the unique Saudi market.
For a hotel brand, we identified that direct translation of their international keywords resulted in exceptionally wasteful costs. After executing a locally-focused search term approach, their CPA dropped by 73%.
