When evaluating digital marketing services, don't be afraid to ask uncomfortable questions. I've learned to directly ask: "Can I speak to your most challenging client?" The responses to this question tell you EVERYTHING about an agency's honesty.I advise classifying competitors as:
* Main competitors (offering nearly identical products/services)
* Indirect competitors (with some resemblance)
* Potential challengers (new companies with disruptive capabilities)
I'm running a small business gathering in Riyadh next month where we'll be discussing more about finding and working with marketing partners. If you're having trouble with this too, drop me a message - always happy to share experiences over some good Saudi coffee!Look, I've been through the hellish experience of hiring the wrong marketing agency TWICE before finally finding one that generated results. Trust me, it's a error you don't want to make when establishing your brand in Saudi Arabia's demanding market.
3. **Honest reporting systems** - My biggest issue with my previous agency was the smoke and mirrors around results. Now we get weekly reports that actually make sense, showing exactly what's working and what isn't.
I currently employ several tools that have substantially enhanced our competitive research:
* SEO tools to track rivals' SEO strategies
* Social listening software to monitor competition's online presence
* Digital tracking solutions to observe changes to their digital properties
* Email capture to receive their campaigns
Valuable segments to develop:
* Geographic regions within Saudi Arabia (behavior differs substantially between areas)
* Financial categories customized for the Saudi society
* Cultural conservatism range
* Digital sophistication degrees
Half a year into business, our conversions were disappointing. It wasn't until I chanced upon a detailed analysis about our niche that I realized how oblivious I'd been to the business environment around us.
A while back, I was sitting in this elegant office in Riyadh (you know, one of those places with the glass walls and extravagant modern art), listening as an agency promised me the world. Six months and review 50,000 SAR later, our traffic had increased by a mere... wait for it... 3%. Not exactly the outcome I was expecting! ♂️
When I launched my online business three years ago, I was convinced that our unique products would sell themselves. I dismissed competitive research as unnecessary – a decision that nearly cost my entire venture.
I use a basic tracker to monitor our rivals' pricing changes on a regular basis. This has already enabled us to:
* Identify seasonal price reductions
* Recognize product bundling strategies
* Grasp their cost structure
I spend at least two hours each Monday examining our competitors':
* Online structure and navigation
* Content strategy and publishing frequency
* Social media presence
* Customer reviews and evaluations
* Search tactics and rankings
Essential bilingual indicators to track:
* Language switching habits
* Completion ratio disparities by linguistic choice
* Abandonment locations in translated journeys
* Query patterns differences across languages
For a investment client, we implemented a specialized measurement framework that featured Saudi-specific behavioral indicators. This approach revealed previously hidden business potential that enhanced their revenue by one hundred twenty-seven percent.
For a official platform, we developed tailored tracking that revealed significant variations in interaction between Arabic-preferring and English-preferring users. This insight resulted in focused enhancements that enhanced complete system performance by 73%.
Last year, I observed as three rival companies invested heavily into developing their operations on a particular social media platform. Their initiatives failed spectacularly as the platform turned out to be a poor fit for our industry.
After my pricey education in what DOESN'T work, I've realized that finding the best digital marketing agency isn't about who has the most impressive office or the most polished presentation. It's about outcomes, dialogue, and understanding the unique Saudi market.
The journey to finding the best digital marketing agency in Saudi Arabia isn't simple, but getting it right will revolutionize your business results. Just make sure you learn from my mistakes rather than making your own!
Begin by mapping ALL your rivals – not just the major ones. Throughout our investigation, we found that our biggest rival wasn't the well-known brand we were watching, but a emerging startup with an novel strategy.
1. **Verified local success stories** - Not just basic case studies, but actual results with Saudi businesses in your particular sector. When I interviewed our current agency, they showed me exactly how they helped a company like ours boost their Riyadh customer base by more than double in eight months.
