In short

Big demand. Schools in Riyadh alone draw 27,100 searches a month, and hospitals 22,200.
Customers search in Arabic, often in everyday spellings a translated list would miss.
Online stores run on Salla or Zid, so tracking has to be set up for those platforms.
The calendar matters. Ramadan, Hajj, National Day and the November sales all shift demand.

Riyadh against Doha

The same Arabic searches, in each market's own data.

The same Arabic search, monthly volume in Riyadh divided by Doha. Schools are searched 46 times as often in Riyadh.

Category	Riyadh	Doha	Multiple
Schools — مدارس الرياض	27,100	590	46×
Real estate — عقارات الرياض	18,100	590	31×
Dental clinics — عيادة اسنان الرياض	1,000	210	5×
Lawyers — محامي الرياض	720	320	2×

Semrush, Saudi Arabia database, September 2026. Estimates — treat the ordering as reliable and the absolute figures as approximate.

A school in Riyadh competes for more than forty times the searches of a school in Doha. That changes the budget, the pace of learning and how finely campaigns can be split.

Where Saudi accounts go wrong

Translated Arabic. A translated keyword list misses how people type, such as «الكتروني» without the hamza.
Social run for views. Snapchat and TikTok are widely used in Saudi Arabia, yet many advertisers still judge them on views rather than customers.
Order count, not value. On Salla or Zid, if order value does not reach the ad platform, bidding chases your cheapest orders.

How we run Saudi accounts

Arabic, written

What we do: keyword lists from Saudi search data, ad copy written in Arabic.

More detail: on the Arabic side of this site.

City by city

What we do: separate campaigns for Riyadh and Jeddah where your data supports it.

Why: costs and demand differ between them.

Value back to the platform

What we do: set up the purchase event inside Salla or Zid, passing order value.

For lead businesses: signed clients from your CRM.

The Saudi calendar

Ramadan moves peak hours, buying behaviour and click cost at once.
Hajj season, National Day and the November sales each need planning weeks ahead. A sharp budget jump on day one sends a campaign back into its learning phase.
The weekend is Friday and Saturday.

Common questions

Do you write the Arabic, or translate it?

We write it. A translated keyword list misses how people actually search here, and ad copy that reads as translated reads as foreign.

Which platforms do you run?

Google Ads, Snapchat, TikTok and Meta. Snapchat and TikTok are widely used in Saudi Arabia, and we run them as acquisition channels judged on customers.

We sell through Salla or Zid. Can you work with that?

Yes. We set up the purchase event inside the platform, pass order value rather than just order count, and keep the product feed current so budget is not spent on items that are out of stock.

How much does it cost?

Media budget goes to the platforms directly, and our monthly fee is separate. Most Saudi industry clicks we measured cost under a dollar, but B2B categories reach $5.44. We quote after the first call.

How long before we see results?

Enquiries usually start in the first week. The larger Saudi market gives the platforms data faster than smaller Gulf markets, but judging campaigns still takes about three months, our minimum term.
