✦ TECHNICAL SEO SAUDI ARABIA — QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Technical SEO Saudi Arabia — Questions Answered
What is hreflang ar-SA and why is it critical?
hreflang ar-SA tells Google a page targets Arabic-speaking Saudi users. Without it, Google may show your Arabic content to users in other Arabic countries, diluting ranking signals. It’s critical for any Saudi bilingual website targeting both Arabic and English searchers.
What Core Web Vitals should Saudi websites target?
We target: LCP under 2.5s, INP under 200ms, and CLS under 0.1. Saudi connectivity varies from 5G in Riyadh and Jeddah to slower connections in rural areas — we optimise for the 75th percentile of your actual Saudi audience.
Why is RTL so important for Saudi SEO?
Arabic flows right-to-left, affecting layout, spacing, and font rendering. Google understands RTL pages better when HTML has correct dir=”rtl” attributes and CSS is properly mirrored. Incorrectly implemented RTL hurts user experience signals and can negatively impact Google rankings.
