Transformative Marketing Plans for 2025
Recently, a hotel owner realized that their online presence was entirely absent from spoken searches. After executing the techniques I'm about to share, they're now being found in nearly half of relevant audio queries.
- Shifting action buttons to the right area of forms and pages
- Reconsidering content prioritization to move from right to left
- Adapting interactive elements to match the right-to-left viewing pattern
For a merchant, we identified that their audio query discovery was limited because they had prepared mostly for foreign language queries. After adding customized Arabic voice search optimization, their visibility improved by 217%.
Helping a hospital, we revised their content to include full inquiries that people would actually ask, such as "Where can I find a dermatologist in Riyadh?" This strategy enhanced their voice search discovery by seventy-three sixty Agency services percent.
- Relocated product photos to the left area, with product information and purchase buttons on the right side
- Changed the image carousel to advance from right to left
- Incorporated a custom Arabic typeface that maintained legibility at various dimensions
The most profitable Saudi brands know that users don't separate in terms of mediums. My banking client achieved a 76% increase in potential customers after we connected their previously disjointed channels.
A few weeks ago, my friend's e-commerce store was hardly visible in search results despite providing excellent products. After implementing the methods I'm about to share, his search visits improved by over one hundred fifty percent in just eight weeks.
Recently, a company director expressed frustration that his platform strategy was consuming thousands of riyals with minimal results. After analyzing his strategy, I pinpointed multiple serious mistakes that are surprisingly common among Saudi businesses.
Throughout my recent project for a financial services company in Riyadh, we found that users were frequently tapping the wrong navigation items. Our user testing revealed that their attention naturally moved from right to left, but the important navigation components were located with a left-to-right importance.
Last month, I was advising a prominent e-commerce business that had poured over 200,000 SAR on a beautiful website that was performing terribly. The issue? They had merely transformed their English site without addressing the fundamental UX differences needed for Arabic users.
I smile when clients insist they're using the "latest" digital marketing approaches but haven't changed their approach since 2022. The digital landscape has transformed completely in just the past year.
- Created a figure visualization approach that handled both Arabic and English digits
- Restructured charts to flow from right to left
- Applied color-coding that corresponded to Saudi cultural associations
As someone who has created 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 behaviors require a completely different approach.
-
Distinctly specify which language should be used in each input field
-
Automatically change keyboard layout based on field requirements
-
Position field labels to the right side of their associated inputs
-
Verify that validation messages appear in the same language as the expected input
-
Choose fonts purposely developed for Arabic screen reading (like Boutros) rather than classic print fonts
-
Expand line leading by 150-175% for better readability
-
Set right-justified text (never center-aligned for main content)
-
Prevent condensed Arabic fonts that diminish the unique letter forms
-
Restructured the data entry sequence to follow right-to-left thinking processes
-
Built a bilingual form system with smart language toggling
-
Optimized smartphone usability for one-handed Arabic typing
If you're building or redesigning a website for the Saudi market, I strongly recommend working with professionals who genuinely comprehend the nuances of Arabic user experience rather than simply converting Western designs.
- Place the most critical content in the top-right corner of the screen
- Structure content blocks to flow from right to left and top to bottom
- Implement heavier visual importance on the right side of equal designs
- Confirm that directional icons (such as arrows) orient in the correct direction for RTL designs
