Last week, a eatery manager in Riyadh lamented that his venue wasn't showing up in Google listings despite being well-reviewed by customers. This is a typical challenge I encounter with local businesses across the Kingdom.

A few days ago, a business owner expressed frustration that his online presence was burning through thousands of riyals with little return. After reviewing his approach, I pinpointed multiple serious mistakes that are surprisingly common among Saudi businesses.

For a healthcare center in Jeddah, we improved their local visibility by nearly one hundred percent by confirming their business information was perfectly identical in both Arabic and English throughout all directories.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

With extensive testing for a shopping business, we identified that communications received between 8-11 PM significantly surpassed those sent during traditional business hours, achieving one hundred eighty-seven percent higher visibility.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Arabic interface adaptation that preserved accessibility
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Language-specific typography
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Application enhancement for both verbal identities
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Seamless language switching without app restart

Recently, a hotel owner found that their website was completely missing from spoken searches. After implementing the approaches I'm about to share, they're now being found in forty-seven percent of appropriate spoken questions.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Helping a hospital, we rewrote their material to feature entire queries that people would actually ask, such as "Where can I find a dermatologist in Riyadh?" This technique increased their spoken question discovery by seventy-three percent.

I currently utilize several resources that have substantially upgraded our competitive research:

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|

|
|
|

For a merchant, we identified that their audio query appearance was restricted because they had optimized mostly for non-Arabic questions. After incorporating tailored Arabic voice search enhancement, their discovery rate increased by two hundred seventeen percent.

Not long ago, I witnessed as three similar businesses spent significantly into expanding their business on a particular social media platform. Their efforts flopped as the medium turned out to be a mismatch for our sector.

I advise categorizing competitors as:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Main competitors (offering equivalent products/services)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Indirect competitors (with limited overlap)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Emerging disruptors (new businesses with innovative potential)
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
* Detect product bundling approaches
|
|
|
|
|

|

Half a year into our launch, our conversions were dismal. It wasn't until I accidentally a detailed analysis about our market sector that I realized how ignorant I'd been to the business environment around us.

When I started my retail business three years ago, I was sure that our unique products would be enough. I overlooked competitor analysis as superfluous – a mistake that almost destroyed my entire business.

Begin by mapping ALL your rivals – not just the well-known ones. During our investigation, we discovered that our biggest competitor wasn't the well-known brand we were watching, but a emerging company with an novel strategy.
