Digital Marketing Agency for Saudi Arabia — Bilingual, Accountable, GCC-Native
Google Ads, Meta Ads, and SEO for KSA brands that want Arabic-led campaigns and honest SAR-denominated reporting.
We are a UAE-based, Google Premier Partner agency. Roughly one in four of our active engagements serves Saudi brands — Riyadh corporate services, Jeddah retail, Eastern Province industrial, and nationwide e-commerce. Campaigns are Arabic-led (because KSA search is 70 to 80 percent Arabic for most verticals), bids are set against SAR-denominated conversion values, and reporting ties back to qualified pipeline, not platform vanity metrics.
Bilingual Arabic + English campaigns, Arabic-led
Saudi search behaviour is 70 to 80 percent Arabic for most verticals. We build KSA accounts with Arabic as the primary locale and English as secondary, not the reverse. Native Arabic copy, not translation.
KSA geography layered properly
Riyadh, Jeddah, Mecca, Medina, Dammam, Khobar — each a separate campaign layer with its own budget, bids, and messaging. Not a single "Saudi Arabia" geography target spraying spend across the kingdom.
Google Premier Partner credential
Less than 3 percent of MENA agencies carry Google Premier tier. Verifiable on Google's own partner directory — the badge on this page links to the verification URL, not a hosted image. Same tier applies to KSA campaigns.
Dedicated KSA pages for every service
Each KSA service page gives you real SAR-denominated pricing, Saudi-specific buyer behaviour notes, Arabic keyword context, and a FAQ built for KSA buyers. Not UAE content with a "Riyadh" keyword swapped in.

Frequently asked questions
The questions Saudi brands ask us on the first call. Not here? Email [email protected] or WhatsApp us — we reply within two hours during KSA business hours.
Do you work with clients in Saudi Arabia?
Yes. Big AL Consulting is UAE-registered (Dubai) and runs paid media and SEO engagements for brands selling into Saudi Arabia. We handle campaigns across Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Khobar, and Mecca. Remote-first engagements, SAR-denominated reporting, and direct account access. No local KSA entity required on your side — we invoice from our UAE DED-licensed company, which is standard for GCC cross-border agency work.
How much does Google Ads cost in Saudi Arabia?
Saudi Google Ads CPCs typically run 15 to 25 percent below UAE on the same keywords — Riyadh and Jeddah are less competitive than Dubai in most categories. Expect SAR 3 to 9 per click in commercial categories (retail, services), SAR 10 to 25 per click in legal and medical, and SAR 120 to 500 cost-per-qualified-lead depending on offer quality. Arabic-language campaigns in KSA usually cost 30 to 50 percent less than English equivalents because demand is heavily Arabic.
Should I run KSA campaigns in Arabic or English?
Arabic should carry the majority of spend for most KSA verticals. Saudi search behaviour is 70 to 80 percent Arabic for local services, healthcare, retail, F&B, real estate, and government-adjacent categories. English-only KSA campaigns leave the majority of intent uncaptured. We build bilingual accounts by default — Arabic primary, English secondary — with locale-separated landing pages. The only exception is pure B2B SaaS or international-buyer categories where English dominates.
Is bigalc.ae a problem for ranking in Saudi search?
The .ae TLD is a UAE geo-signal, which is a disadvantage for KSA rankings. We mitigate it with: a dedicated /sa/ subfolder, `areaServed: Saudi Arabia` schema on every page, SAR-denominated pricing content, Saudi-specific case mentions, and en-SA / ar-SA hreflang pairing. This is not as strong as a .sa domain, but it ranks meaningfully for branded + long-tail KSA queries and is the right move until KSA revenue justifies registering bigalc.sa.
What cities and regions do you cover in Saudi Arabia?
Campaign geography: Riyadh, Jeddah, Mecca, Medina, Dammam, Khobar, Dhahran, Taif, Tabuk, Abha, Al Khobar, and national KSA-wide layers. We separate campaign geography by commercial hub so budget allocation and messaging track where buyers actually are. Riyadh for government-adjacent and corporate, Jeddah for retail and commerce, Eastern Province (Dammam/Khobar) for B2B industrial and oil & gas services, Mecca/Medina for Umrah and pilgrimage-related categories.
Can you run paid social (Meta, TikTok, Snapchat) in KSA?
Yes. Saudi Arabia is the GCC's strongest social-commerce market. Meta (Instagram + Facebook) is the main paid-social channel for most B2C verticals. TikTok Saudi is extremely high-value for fashion, beauty, F&B, and D2C — CPMs are often lower than UAE. Snapchat still carries meaningful reach in KSA Gen Z and under-35 audiences, especially for retail and local services. We build bilingual creative across platforms with Saudi cultural context, not UAE templates repurposed.
How long does it take to start running KSA campaigns?
Week 1 is discovery, tracking setup (GA4, Conversions API), and KSA-specific keyword + audience research. Week 2 we build campaigns and produce creative. Week 3 we launch with a controlled learning-phase budget. First qualified leads typically in days 10 to 20, stable CPL from week 5 to 6. If your Google Ads account is new and needs re-verification for KSA geography, add a week for approval.
Do you have Saudi-specific case studies?
Live engagements across UAE, KSA, and broader GCC. Case studies are shared on the first strategy call (not published publicly because some clients operate in sensitive categories like legal and healthcare where attribution is not appropriate). We can share category-level benchmarks (CPC ranges, CVR ranges, CPL ranges) up front so you can sanity-check whether we fit your category before the call.
Can you handle VAT and invoicing for Saudi clients?
Yes. We invoice in SAR or AED (your choice), with UAE VAT treatment per cross-border GCC agency services rules. Our Dubai DED trade licence covers digital marketing services across GCC. Your Saudi entity can reverse-charge VAT or we can invoice your UAE-based finance entity if your group has one — we will pick the cleanest path on the first call.
Are you Google Premier Partner certified in KSA?
Yes. The Google Premier Partner badge applies globally — it is not region-specific. Big AL Consulting holds Google Premier Partner status (verifiable on Google's own partner directory), which applies to campaigns we run for KSA clients as well as UAE. Premier tier requires passing certification exams, meeting Google's spend and performance bars, and gives us direct Google account-manager support for complex KSA accounts.
