Multilingual SEO operations

Running SEO across 6 languages and 3 GCC markets with automation handling hreflang and localization QA.

Role: Head of SEO & AI Solutions

Problem

SEO ran across six languages (English, Arabic, Russian, German, French, Chinese) and three GCC markets (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman), managed largely by hand. Hreflang errors, RTL issues, and localization gaps were constant, hard to catch, and expensive to fix after the fact.

Constraints

Arabic and RTL at scale, six-way language parity, and three distinct markets, all with a small team. Quality had to be enforced automatically because manual QA could not keep up with the volume.

System

Automation generates and validates hreflang across the language and region matrix, and a localization QA layer flags gaps and inconsistencies before they ship. Technical SEO is handled programmatically rather than page by page.
