People-first content
Google's guidance asks whether content shows first-hand experience, expertise and a clear purpose, and whether readers leave satisfied.
Easy to quote
AI Overviews and assistants show links to pages that support their answers. Clear, current, well-sourced pages are easier to cite.
Show who is behind it
Name the author or reviewer, their role and experience, and the date the page was last checked.
A second market
Arabic searches often have less good content to compete with. Write for them, do not just translate.

How long before content brings leads?

Should I write in Arabic?
If your buyers search in Arabic, yes. Write Arabic content for Arabic questions rather than translating English articles.
