Technical SEO and AI search visibility
Be easy to find, and easy to quote, when people search for what you do.
Most search problems on business websites are technical: pages search engines can't read, slow load times, duplicate URLs, or an Arabic version Google never connects to the English one. Because I'm a developer, I fix these in the code instead of handing you a report.
Technical SEO is the work that lets search engines crawl, understand and index your website: site structure, speed, redirects, structured data and language tags. I do it for UAE websites in English and Arabic, and it now includes AI search visibility: making sure Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT search, Copilot and Perplexity can reach and cite your pages. No one can guarantee rankings or AI mentions; I fix what holds your site back and report what changed.
Who this is for
- Businesses that don't appear in Google for the services they offer in the UAE
- Sites that lost search traffic after a redesign, migration or domain change
- Bilingual sites where the Arabic pages are missing from search or show to the wrong people
- Owners asking how to appear in ChatGPT, Gemini or Google's AI answers
- Teams with an SEO audit but nobody to implement it
Problems this solves
- Important pages aren't indexed, or the wrong pages appear.
- I check how Google and Bing crawl the site, then fix canonical tags, sitemaps, robots rules, redirects and internal links so the right pages are found.
- The Arabic version competes with the English one, or never appears.
- Each language gets its own URL, a self-referencing canonical and matching hreflang tags in both directions, so search engines treat them as translations rather than duplicates.
- AI tools never mention the business.
- I check that the search crawlers AI tools rely on (such as OAI-SearchBot, Claude-SearchBot and PerplexityBot) are not blocked by robots.txt or a firewall, that the site is verified in Bing Webmaster Tools, and that key pages state facts clearly near the top.
- The site is slow and fails Core Web Vitals.
- I trace what slows each page (images, fonts, scripts, rendering) and fix it in the code, then confirm with lab tests and, over time, real-user data.
What’s included
- Technical audit and fixes
- Crawling, indexing, redirects, canonical URLs, sitemaps, mobile usability and Core Web Vitals, fixed rather than just listed.
- Bilingual and hreflang set-up
- Separate English and Arabic URLs, hreflang pairs with an x-default, and per-language titles, descriptions and structured data.
- AI search visibility
- Robots.txt rules that allow AI search crawlers, Google Search Console's generative AI setting checked, Bing Webmaster Tools and IndexNow set up, and answer-first page summaries. This is generative engine optimisation without the folklore: no special files that search engines say they ignore.
- Search-to-page mapping
- A keyword map that gives each topic your customers search, in English and Arabic, one destination page, so pages don't compete with each other.
- Structured data
- Schema markup that accurately describes your business, services, products or articles, validated before release and matching what is visible on the page.
- Reporting you can read
- Monthly summaries from Search Console, Bing Webmaster Tools and analytics, including AI-assistant referrals where they can be measured.
How it works
1Audit
A crawl of the site plus Search Console and Bing data (with your access), focused on your most valuable pages.
2Priorities
A short, ranked list of fixes by likely impact and effort, explained in plain English.
3Implementation
I make the technical and on-page changes myself, or write them up for your developer.
4Monitor and refine
Search engines take weeks to re-crawl. I track what changed and adjust.

Questions UAE business owners ask
Can you guarantee first-page rankings or a mention in ChatGPT?
No. Google itself says no one can guarantee a top ranking, and AI tools choose sources in ways their makers don't fully document. I remove what is holding the site back and build pages that deserve to be found and cited.
Do I need an llms.txt file or special AI markup?
Not for Google: it says its AI features need no special files or markup, and that it does not use llms.txt. An llms.txt file is optional and harmless if it matches your visible pages, but it is not where the results come from.
Can you get us into the Google Maps results?
Map results need a Google Business Profile, which requires a real location customers can visit or an area you serve in person. If your business is eligible, I'll guide you through setting it up correctly.
How long before we see results?
Technical fixes can show within weeks once pages are re-crawled. Content and authority take months. I'll tell you what to expect for your site.
Do you buy links?
No. Paid link schemes break Google's spam policies and can harm your site. I focus on a sound site, useful content and genuine mentions.
