What drives the cost
Recruitment searches in Saudi Arabia include domestic worker recruitment offices and corporate hiring. These are very different buyers and need separate campaigns.
What this budget buys
Using the typical bid range above:
- AED 5,000 a month: roughly 857 to 2,040 clicks at these bid levels
- AED 10,000 a month: roughly 1,715 to 4,081 clicks at these bid levels
- AED 20,000 a month: roughly 3,430 to 8,163 clicks at these bid levels
Clicks are only the start. What matters is how many of those clicks become enquiries, and that depends on the landing page and how fast your team replies.
Arabic or English?
Across the keywords we pulled, Arabic searches account for about 100% of monthly volume (206,800 Arabic against 0 English). In Saudi Arabia, Arabic ads and Arabic landing pages are the default, not an extra. See our Arabic Google Ads page for Saudi Arabia.
What the landing page needs
For recruitment agencies, the pages that turn clicks into enquiries usually have separate pages for employers and for household recruitment. Sending paid traffic to a generic home page is the most common reason costs look high.
