A few days ago, a business owner complained that his online presence was costing considerable sums of riyals with minimal results. After reviewing his approach, I identified multiple serious mistakes that are extremely typical among Saudi businesses.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Last week, a eatery manager in Riyadh expressed frustration that his business wasn't visible in Google results despite being well-reviewed by customers. This is a frequent problem I observe with regional companies across the Kingdom.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Successful methods:
|
||||||
|
* Implementing Saudi financial services like local services
|
||||||
|
* Upgrading local details
|
||||||
|
* Showcasing regional support availability
|
||||||
|
* Including confidence builders tailored for Saudi customers
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Initiate by mapping ALL your rivals – not just the well-known ones. During our research, we found that our largest competitor wasn't the well-known company we were tracking, but a emerging company with an innovative approach.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For a doctor's office in Jeddah, we increased their local visibility by nearly one hundred percent by confirming their company details was perfectly consistent in both Arabic and English on all directories.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Not long ago, my family-owned business was struggling to reach new customers. Our website was completely hidden in Google listings. That's when I made the decision to try expert [search ranking services Jeddah](https://git.ipross.rionegro.gov.ar/chesterzielins/saudidigital-2002/issues/1) engine optimization.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Essential adjustments:
|
||||||
|
* Commitment period adjustments for Saudi customers
|
||||||
|
* Word-of-mouth impact weighting amplifications
|
||||||
|
* Occasional buying patterns acknowledgment
|
||||||
|
* Status-driven purchases evaluation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Last quarter, a store group invested over 200,000 SAR in standard promotion with disappointing outcomes. After transitioning just 30% of that budget to mobile marketing, they experienced a three hundred twenty-eight percent increase in foot traffic.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For a apparel brand, we executed a detailed medium performance analysis that discovered their highest ROI channels were totally separate from their worldwide patterns. This insight allowed a reallocation of budget that improved their overall ROI by 213%.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Remarkable results:
|
||||||
|
* Ephemeral platforms exceeding Instagram for certain products
|
||||||
|
* Late marketing substantially surpassing afternoon efforts
|
||||||
|
* Motion media producing higher ROI than still visuals
|
||||||
|
* Mobile efficiency exceeding computer by significant margins
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Six months into our launch, our sales were underwhelming. It wasn't until I accidentally a detailed analysis about our industry that I understood how oblivious I'd been to the business environment around us.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I currently utilize several tools that have significantly improved our market intelligence:
|
||||||
|
* SEO tools to analyze other companies' search rankings
|
||||||
|
* Social listening tools to track competitors' social activity
|
||||||
|
* Digital tracking tools to observe modifications to their digital properties
|
||||||
|
* Newsletter subscription to obtain their campaigns
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When I started my e-commerce business three years ago, I was sure that our special products would be enough. I ignored competitor analysis as unnecessary – a mistake that practically cost my entire company.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For a high-end retailer, we created a regionally-appropriate attribution approach that acknowledged the distinctive buying journey in the Kingdom. This technique uncovered that their network investments were actually delivering 286% more results than formerly calculated.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I dedicate at least two hours each week reviewing our competitors':
|
||||||
|
* Digital organization and user experience
|
||||||
|
* Articles and content calendar
|
||||||
|
* Online platforms engagement
|
||||||
|
* Customer reviews and evaluations
|
||||||
|
* Search approach and rankings
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A few months ago, a retail client consulted me after spending over 500,000 SAR on online advertising with limited outcomes. After restructuring their methodology, we achieved a dramatic increase in value generated.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Not long ago, I observed as three competitors spent significantly into growing their presence on a certain social media platform. Their initiatives were unsuccessful as the medium turned out to be a poor fit for our sector.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I advise classifying competitors as:
|
||||||
|
* Direct competitors (offering very similar products/services)
|
||||||
|
* Secondary competitors (with limited resemblance)
|
||||||
|
* Emerging challengers (new businesses with game-changing models)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Key considerations:
|
||||||
|
* Protracted consideration phases in Saudi buying paths
|
||||||
|
* Family influence factors in conversion actions
|
||||||
|
* WhatsApp as a major but difficult-to-track influence channel
|
||||||
|
* Physical verification as the last buying stage
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I use a simple spreadsheet to track our rivals' rates adjustments weekly. This recently enabled us to:
|
||||||
|
* Identify seasonal discount patterns
|
||||||
|
* Recognize product bundling strategies
|
||||||
|
* Comprehend their cost structure
