Arabic SEO agency in Dubai that writes for Arabic search, not translates into it.
A page translated from English into Arabic reads like a translation, and it ranks like one. Arabic SEO done properly starts with keyword research done in Arabic, technical RTL setup that actually works, and content written by someone who thinks in the language, not converted from an English draft after the fact. As an Arabic SEO agency in Dubai, that is the only version of this service we offer.
Drivix is an Arabic SEO agency in the UAE that has managed AED 2.5M+ in verified ad spend and scaled 100+ brands across the UAE & GCC, with 90%+ client retention. Arabic SEO runs as a genuine parallel track alongside English SEO on every UAE campaign, with RTL technical setup, native Arabic keyword research and original Arabic content, not machine translation.
What we deliver
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
01
RTL Technical Setup
Correct right-to-left markup, layout mirroring, and hreflang structure so Google reads your Arabic and English pages as alternates, not duplicates.
02
Native Arabic Keyword Research
Keyword research done in Arabic from the start, independent of the English keyword list, since Arabic-first buyers frequently search in different terms entirely. This runs alongside ourSEO agency in Dubai service as one combined campaign.
03
Original Arabic Content
Content written by someone who thinks in Arabic, not translated from an English draft, so it reads naturally and ranks for how Arabic-first buyers actually search.
04
Arabic On-Page SEO
Titles, meta descriptions, header structure and internal linking optimised for Arabic search terms, not a copy of the English on-page structure.
05
Local SEO in Arabic
Google Business Profile and local content in Arabic for businesses with a physical location, matching how Arabic-first customers search locally.
06
Reporting & Strategy Reviews
Monthly reports tied to Arabic-language traffic, leads and rankings specifically, so Arabic performance is never hidden inside a blended English total.
“What impressed me most was the 24/7 availability. The complete package of website, SEO, and Ads all working together is exactly what scaled us from one branch to three.”

In depth
What Arabic SEO actually requires
Right-to-left technical setup that actually works: correct `dir="rtl"` and `lang="ar"` markup, layouts that mirror properly rather than breaking under RTL text flow, and URL and hreflang structures that tell Google the Arabic and English versions of a page are alternates of each other, not duplicate content competing with itself. A surprising number of sites claiming Arabic SEO have none of this configured correctly, which caps every page below it regardless of the content quality.
Genuinely original Arabic content, not machine translation or a translated English draft. Arabic has its own idiom, register and search phrasing that a translation carries over imperfectly at best, and Google increasingly recognises the difference in how content actually performs. Arabic keyword research run as its own independent exercise, since the terms an Arabic-first buyer types are frequently not a direct translation of the English equivalent term at all.
How Arabic SEO fits alongside English SEO
Arabic SEO runs as a genuine parallel track alongside English SEO on the same site, not a separate project bolted on afterwards. The technical foundation, Core Web Vitals, crawlability, site architecture, is shared between both language versions, so fixing it once benefits both. From there, keyword research, content and on-page optimisation are done independently for each language, because the terms, the competition, and often the buyer intent itself genuinely differ between an English-first and an Arabic-first search for the same product or service.
Most UAE businesses running a serious SEO campaign need both, since the market includes a large Arabic-first buyer base alongside a large English-first one, and a site optimised for only one language is invisible to the other.
Proven results
We do not break out Arabic-specific search performance as a separate verified figure for any client yet, so we would rather say that plainly than attach an English-language result to an Arabic SEO claim. What we can show is our verified track record running SEO for UAE businesses overall: 69,100 organic clicks and 1.2M impressions at an average position of 10.7 for Beefurb, a Dubai and Sharjah electronics retailer, and #1 brand visibility with page-one rankings for competitive terms for Alif Accounting & Tax Consultants.
Beyond those two verified case studies, our track record across the portfolio is AED 2.5M+ in managed ad spend, 100+ brands scaled across the UAE & GCC, and 90%+ client retention. The same technical and content discipline behind those results applies to an Arabic SEO campaign from day one.
Pricing
Arabic SEO retainers start from AED 6,000 per month, the same starting point as our English SEO service, and full-service engagements covering technical, on-page, content and link building in both languages run higher depending on competition level and target keywords. SEO has no separate ad spend to budget for, since the management fee is the whole cost.
We confirm the exact scope and price after a free audit of your site and your Arabic-language competitors, with no lock-in contract.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions
How much does Arabic SEO cost in Dubai?
Arabic SEO retainers start from AED 6,000 per month, the same starting point as our English SEO service, since the technical, keyword research and content work involved does not shrink because the language changes. Running Arabic and English SEO together as one campaign, rather than as two separate engagements, is usually more efficient than commissioning them separately. We confirm the exact scope and price after a free audit.
Do you write original Arabic content or translate from English?
We write original Arabic content. A page translated from an English draft reads like a translation to a native Arabic reader, and it targets the keywords an English speaker would search for translated literally, not the terms an Arabic-first buyer actually types into Google. Our Arabic keyword research starts in Arabic, independently of the English keyword list, and the content is written by someone who thinks in the language rather than converts into it.
How long does Arabic SEO take to show results in Dubai?
For most Dubai and UAE businesses, meaningful ranking improvements for Arabic search terms appear in 3 to 6 months, the same timeline as English SEO, since the technical and content foundation takes the same amount of work regardless of language. Arabic search often has less competition for a given commercial term than the English equivalent, which can mean faster movement to page one once the foundation is in place.
