Question 1

Do you work with doctors and clinics in Saudi Arabia?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We work with doctors, clinics and hospitals across Saudi Arabia — including Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam — and with practices serving Riyadh, Makkah and Eastern Province regions primarily, with strong intercity travel for bariatric and fertility care, plus inbound demand around Makkah and Madinah during Hajj and Umrah seasons. Healthcare is the only sector we work in, so the playbook is built for regulated medical marketing rather than adapted from retail or hospitality. Work runs remotely, with onboarding, strategy and reporting calls scheduled in your timezone, and day-to-day contact over email and WhatsApp so you are never waiting on a time-zone gap to get an answer.

Question 2

Is healthcare advertising regulated in Saudi Arabia?

Accepted Answer

Yes — and this is where most general marketing agencies get clinics into trouble. Saudi Arabia is governed by Ministry of Health (MOH) · SFDA. Health advertising in Saudi Arabia requires a licence from the Ministry of Health, and the facility, the advertised service and the named practitioners must all hold current MOH registration that a reviewer can verify. Advertising a service the facility is not licensed to provide is a direct violation. The SFDA governs claims about medical devices, cosmetics and health products, so lasers, injectables and slimming devices carry a second layer of rules. Testimonials, guaranteed-outcome language and comparative superlatives are restricted, and misleading before-and-after imagery is a common cause of enforcement. We scope every campaign against your MOH facility licence and practitioner register first, so nothing goes live promoting a service you are not licensed to deliver. We would rather tell you upfront that a tactic you have seen a competitor use is not one we will replicate than expose your licence to risk for a short-term gain.

Question 3

How much does healthcare marketing cost in Saudi Arabia?

Accepted Answer

For clients in Saudi Arabia we quote in SAR. Google Business Profile management starts around SAR 230 per month, SEO content publishing around SAR 340 per month, and full-service retainers from about SAR 1,000 per month depending on how many channels you run and how competitive your specialty is. International pricing reflects the additional cost of servicing an account across timezones, currencies and a different regulatory regime, and the figures above are converted from our India list at an indicative rate — your quote is confirmed in SAR in writing after the audit. Paid media sits outside that fee: in Saudi Arabia treatment-intent clicks typically run SAR 12–50. Arabic keywords are still meaningfully cheaper than their English equivalents in most categories, which is exactly where the arbitrage sits — and exactly what English-only agencies never bid on.

Question 4

How quickly will we see results in Saudi Arabia?

Accepted Answer

Most clinics see movement in profile views, calls and direction requests within 30 days, because the earliest wins come from fixing the Google Business Profile — categories, services, photographs, posts and review flow — rather than anything requiring Google to re-evaluate your website. Meaningful map and organic movement usually lands between 60 and 90 days. Competition in Saudi Arabia is high and rising, so we prioritise narrower, winnable searches first — specific treatments and specific districts — so there is traction while the harder head terms build over two to three quarters. Anyone promising you page one in a fortnight is selling something.

Question 5

Which specialties do you work with in Saudi Arabia?

Accepted Answer

All regulated healthcare. In Saudi Arabia the strongest demand we see is in Aesthetics & dermatology, Dental & smile design, Bariatric & metabolic surgery, and we run specialty-specific playbooks for each — the searches, objections and decision timelines for a fertility patient look nothing like those for a dental or orthopaedic patient. Beyond those we work with multi-specialty hospitals, diagnostic centres, physiotherapy and rehabilitation, ophthalmology, paediatrics and mental health practices. If your specialty is not listed it almost certainly still fits; the framework is the same and the keyword, content and compliance strategy is what changes.

Question 6

Do we need to hand over passwords to our Google or advertising accounts?

Accepted Answer

No, and you should refuse this from any agency that asks. We work through manager-level access: your Google Business Profile stays owned by you with us added as a manager, and your Google Ads and Meta accounts are linked to our manager accounts rather than transferred. You keep full ownership of every asset, every review, every historical data point and every campaign we build. If we part ways, you remove our access and everything remains yours — which is the opposite of the position clinics find themselves in when an agency has built the assets inside its own accounts.

Question 7

Why does Arabic-first content matter so much more in Saudi Arabia than in the UAE?

Accepted Answer

Because the patient base is fundamentally different. The UAE is roughly nine-tenths expatriate and English is the working language of its healthcare sector. Saudi Arabia is majority Saudi national, and Arabic carries the clear majority of healthcare search volume, virtually all Snapchat and TikTok engagement, and almost every WhatsApp enquiry. The practical consequence is that an English-only clinic site is invisible to most of its own catchment. There is a second, subtler issue: translation is not localisation. Arabic search behaviour uses different phrasing from the English equivalent — patients search by symptom, by colloquial treatment name and by neighbourhood, not by the clinical term a translator would pick. Machine-translated pages typically miss the actual query set entirely and read as imported, which erodes trust in a market where credibility is everything. We write Arabic first and treat English as the secondary layer for the expatriate and corporate-insurance segment, rather than the other way round. We also keep the two registers separate: Saudi dialect for social creative, where it has to sound like a person, and modern standard Arabic for clinical and treatment pages, where it has to sound like a licensed medical facility.

Question 8

How does Ministry of Health advertising licensing actually work for a Saudi clinic?

Accepted Answer

Health advertising in the Kingdom is licensed, not merely regulated. The Ministry of Health requires an advertising licence for healthcare promotional material, and the review hinges on verifiability: the facility must hold a current MOH licence, the specific service you are advertising must fall within what that licence permits, and any practitioner you name or show must be registered and in good standing. Advertising a treatment your facility is not licensed to provide is the single most common failure, and it is usually accidental — a marketing team writes a page for a service the clinic hopes to add next quarter. Layered on top, the SFDA governs claims about medical devices, injectables, cosmetics and slimming products, so aesthetic and weight-management campaigns face a second set of rules on what a device or product can be said to do. Across both, guaranteed outcomes, comparative superlatives and misleading before-and-after imagery are the recurring enforcement triggers. Our approach is to audit your facility licence and practitioner register at onboarding, map every planned campaign against what you are actually permitted to advertise, and then write to that boundary — which is far cheaper than discovering the gap after a takedown.

Question 9

Should a Saudi clinic invest in Snapchat and TikTok or in Google?

Accepted Answer

In most categories, both, but with Google playing a smaller role than agencies from other markets expect. Saudi Arabia has among the highest Snapchat penetration in the world, and TikTok usage among under-35s is extraordinary — so for aesthetics, dental and elective cosmetic work, discovery genuinely happens on social first. Patients see a treatment, save the clinic, ask friends, then search the clinic by name. That means much of your Google traffic is branded demand that social created, and judging the two channels in isolation will lead you to defund the thing that is actually generating patients. The split we typically run is: Arabic social video for discovery and demand creation, using your own licensed clinicians on camera rather than stock or influencer content, because credibility is the constraint; Google Search for high-intent categories where patients do genuinely research first — bariatric surgery, fertility, orthopaedics — plus defensive bidding on your own brand; and Google Maps plus review velocity underneath everything, because that is where saved-then-searched patients land. Attribution has to be set up before you spend, using WhatsApp click tracking and call tracking, or you will never see the handoff from social to search.
