Powerful Content Strategy for Middle Eastern Companies

For a investment institution, we created a responsive interface framework that automatically modified controls, fonts, and layout based on the selected language, resulting in a 42% increase in user engagement.

I invest at least 120 minutes each Monday reviewing our competitors':

  • Website organization and UX
  • Content strategy and posting schedule
  • Online platforms activity
  • User feedback and evaluations
  • Search approach and rankings

I currently employ several resources that have substantially improved our competitor analysis:

  • Keyword trackers to track rivals' search rankings
  • Brand monitoring software to follow competition's digital advertising agency riyadh footprint
  • Site monitoring platforms to observe changes to their websites
  • Email capture to obtain their marketing communications

I recommend organizing competitors as:

  • Primary competitors (offering nearly identical offerings)
  • Secondary competitors (with some similarity)
  • New threats (new businesses with disruptive capabilities)

Last month, a business owner asked me why his articles weren't creating any inquiries. After reviewing his content approach, I discovered he was making the same errors I see countless Saudi businesses commit.

When I launched my online business rival assessment three years ago, I was sure that our distinctive products would sell themselves. I ignored competitor analysis as a waste of time – a decision that nearly cost my entire business.

After considerable time of applying universal population divisions, their new locally-relevant division strategy created a significant growth in campaign effectiveness and a substantial decrease in customer acquisition costs.

I use a basic spreadsheet to monitor our competition's rates adjustments on a regular basis. This has enabled us to:

  • Discover periodic promotion cycles
  • Notice product bundling tactics
  • Understand their value positioning

Essential techniques contained:

  • Urban-focused divisions beyond basic regions
  • Area-specific targeting
  • Urban vs. rural differences
  • International resident zones
  • Visitor destinations vs. native communities

Recently, I observed as three rival companies poured resources into expanding their business on a specific social media platform. Their attempts were unsuccessful as the platform proved to be a poor fit for our sector.

Initiate by listing ALL your competitors – not just the major ones. Throughout our research, we identified that our largest competitor wasn't the famous brand we were watching, but a new startup with an unique strategy.
