Using extensive testing for a food delivery client, we found that advertisements delivered between evening hours dramatically surpassed those shown during standard optimal periods, producing one hundred sixty-three percent better sales.
Recently, a company director inquired why his content weren't creating any business opportunities. After examining his publishing plan, I discovered he was making the same blunders I see many Saudi businesses repeat.
A few months ago, a retail chain spent over 200,000 SAR in conventional advertising with underwhelming returns. After moving just 30% of that investment to handheld promotion, they experienced a three hundred twenty-eight percent improvement in store visits.
Not long ago, my small business was barely surviving to find new customers. Our digital storefront was nowhere to be found in Google rankings. That's when I chose to invest in professional website ranking help.
-
Select fonts specifically designed for Arabic digital display (like Dubai) rather than traditional print fonts
-
Enlarge line spacing by 150-175% for enhanced readability
-
Implement right-aligned text (never middle-aligned for body text)
-
Avoid narrow Arabic fonts that compromise the unique letter structures
-
Locate the most critical content in the top-right section of the screen
-
Arrange content blocks to flow from right to left and top to bottom
-
Apply stronger visual weight on the right side of equal designs
-
Confirm that indicating icons (such as arrows) point in the correct direction for RTL designs
-
Explicitly specify which language should be used in each form element
-
Automatically switch keyboard language based on field expectations
-
Place form text to the right side of their corresponding inputs
-
Ensure that validation messages appear in the same language as the required input
Recently, I was advising a prominent e-commerce platform that had spent over 200,000 SAR on a beautiful website that was converting poorly. The reason? They had merely transformed their English site without considering the basic experience variations needed for Arabic users.
- Restructured the form flow to follow right-to-left user expectations
- Created a bilingual data entry process with intelligent language switching
- Optimized smartphone usability for one-handed Arabic typing
Last month, a hotel owner discovered that their digital platform was entirely absent from voice search results. After implementing the approaches I'm about to reveal, they're now showing up in nearly half of applicable spoken questions.
Helping a hospital, we rewrote their information to incorporate full inquiries that people would verbally request, such as "Where can I find a dermatologist in Riyadh?" This approach enhanced their voice search appearance by over seventy percent.
- Repositioning action buttons to the right-hand portion of forms and pages
- Restructuring visual importance to progress from right to left
- Adapting interactive elements to align with the right-to-left reading pattern
For a merchant, we identified that their audio query visibility was limited because they had prepared primarily for foreign language queries. After adding specialized native audio query enhancement, their visibility improved by over two hundred percent.
As someone who has designed over 30 Arabic websites in the recent years, I can tell you that applying Western UX standards to Arabic interfaces simply doesn't work. The unique characteristics of Arabic script and Saudi user expectations require a completely different approach.
Throughout my latest project for a financial services company in Riyadh, we observed that users were consistently selecting the wrong navigation items. Our behavior analysis demonstrated that their attention naturally flowed from right to left, but the primary navigation components were positioned with a left-to-right importance.
If you're creating or revamping a website for the Saudi competitive market analysis, I advise working with professionals who really grasp the complexities of Arabic user experience rather than simply adapting Western interfaces.
- Relocated product photos to the left portion, with product specifications and purchase buttons on the right
- Changed the image carousel to progress from right to left
- Incorporated a custom Arabic typeface that kept clarity at various scales
