SEO Team Leader · Saudi Arabia & the Gulf

Search visibility isn’t luck. I lead SEO for e-commerce brands and turn organic search into a channel you can plan a quarter around.

The short version

Most SEO work is applied before anyone confirms what’s actually broken.

I’m Hussein Eldreny, an SEO Team Leader working across e-commerce brands in Saudi Arabia and the wider Gulf. My job is simple to describe and hard to do well: make a store visible to the people already searching for what it sells, and prove it in numbers that don’t move on their own.

That means an audit that ranks issues by traffic impact rather than by how easy they are to fix. It means structural problems get solved before content gets scaled on top of them. And it means reporting that puts the before and the after side by side — including the metrics that didn’t flatter me.

What I actually do

Six moves,
done properly.

No retainer padded with vanity tasks. Every engagement maps back to rankings, traffic, or revenue — with a Search Console screenshot to prove it.

Search engines have to be able to reach, read and trust the site before anything else matters. I audit crawl and index health, fix what is blocking discovery, and clear the structural problems that quietly cap every other effort.

  • Full crawl audit with issues ranked by traffic impact
  • Index coverage, canonicals, robots and sitemap hygiene
  • Core Web Vitals and page-speed remediation
  • Structured data and schema implementation
  • Log-level crawl budget analysis on large catalogues

Product and category pages behave differently from ordinary content pages, and Gulf storefronts have their own quirks. I build the architecture so every commercial query has exactly one page built to win it.

  • Category and collection architecture mapped to search demand
  • Product page templates that scale across a full catalogue
  • Faceted navigation handled without creating index bloat
  • Variant, duplicate and thin-page consolidation
  • Arabic and English intent handled side by side

Rankings follow pages that answer the query better than the alternatives. I map what people actually search, find where the site has nothing to offer them, and build the pages that close the gap.

  • Keyword and SERP research grounded in real query data
  • Content gap analysis against ranking competitors
  • Title, meta and heading rewrites built around intent
  • Internal linking that compounds the pages already winning
  • Editorial briefs your writers can actually execute

Every claim on this site is a screenshot away from being verified, and your reporting should work the same way. Impressions, clicks, CTR and position, side by side, on a schedule you can plan around.

  • Search Console and GA4 configured and validated properly
  • Before/after reporting windows agreed up front
  • Organic revenue attribution, not just traffic
  • Looker Studio dashboards you can open any day of the week
  • A plain-language read of what moved and why

A standalone audit if you are not ready for an ongoing engagement. You get the same diagnostic I would run on my own accounts, ranked by traffic impact rather than by how easy each item is to fix.

  • Technical, on-page and content review in one document
  • Every issue scored by estimated traffic impact and effort
  • A sequenced roadmap, not an undifferentiated list
  • Handover call to walk your team through it
  • Written so a developer can act on it without translation

I lead SEO teams, so a chunk of the job is making other people effective. If you have in-house marketers or writers, I would rather leave you with a working process than a dependency.

  • SEO process and QA checklists built for your stack
  • Training for content, dev and marketing teams
  • Review cadence and prioritisation frameworks
  • Hiring and briefing support for SEO roles
  • Documentation that outlasts the engagement
The method

How a project moves

Audit

Full technical and content crawl. Every issue ranked by traffic impact, not by how easy it is to fix.

Week 1–2

Fix

Structural and on-page issues resolved first — the changes search engines have to notice.

Week 2–6

Scale

Content and internal linking expanded around what’s already ranking, to compound the early wins.

Month 2 onward

Report

Search Console and Analytics pulled side by side, before vs. after, on a schedule you can plan around.

Try it yourself

What is position
six costing you?

Ranking one place higher isn’t a linear gain — click-through rate falls off a cliff below the top three. Move the sliders to see roughly what a position change is worth on your own impression volume.

250K

Find this in Search Console → Performance → Total impressions, over the last 28 days.

8.0

Search Console reports this as “Average position” on the same screen.

4.0

A realistic first target is two to three positions better than today.

Estimated additional monthly clicks +0 the organic traffic you get today

How this is calculated: your impression volume multiplied by published average organic click-through rates for each SERP position. It is a directional estimate, not a forecast — real CTR varies by query intent, SERP features and brand recognition. I use it to size an opportunity, never to promise a number.

Working together

What actually
lands in your inbox.

The deliverables are deliberately unglamorous. You should always be able to answer “what changed, and what did it do?” without booking a call.

A monthly performance report

Impressions, clicks, CTR and average position, this period against last, pulled straight from Search Console and GA4 — plus a plain-language read of what moved and why.

A prioritised action list

Every open item scored by estimated traffic impact and implementation effort, written so a developer can act on it without needing it translated first.

A live dashboard

A Looker Studio view you can open any day of the week. No waiting for a monthly deck to find out whether the last change worked.

Straight answers

Questions I get
before every project

Including the awkward ones about guarantees and why some of these case studies show CTR going down.

It depends entirely on what is wrong. Where the blocker is technical — indexation, crawl, a broken canonical chain — movement can show inside a week or two, and there are accounts on this site that did exactly that. Where the site needs new content and authority built from a standing start, three to six months is realistic. I will tell you which situation you are in after the audit, not before it.

Because impressions grew much faster than clicks. When a site starts surfacing for thousands of additional queries, many of them are lower-intent, so the percentage of impressions that convert to clicks falls even though total clicks rise. In every case here where CTR fell, both clicks and average position improved. I show it rather than hiding it, because a report that only shows flattering metrics is not a report.

Yes. Those two come up most in the Saudi and Gulf market so they are where the deepest platform-specific knowledge is, but the work translates to Shopify, Magento and custom builds. The technical principles do not change with the CMS — only the implementation details do.

Yes. Arabic and English search intent behave differently for the same product, and treating one as a translation of the other is a common and expensive mistake in this market. I research and structure both.

No, and you should be wary of anyone who does. Nobody controls Google’s ranking systems. What I commit to is the work, the reporting cadence, and an honest read of what moved. The numbers on this site are the track record that offer stands on.
