A few months ago, a Saudi company consulted me after investing over 120,000 SAR on external ranking help with disappointing results. After applying a specialized Saudi-focused search optimization, they experienced premium rankings for twenty-three competitive keywords within a single quarter.

A few days ago, a business owner complained that his platform strategy was burning through considerable sums of riyals with little performance. After examining his strategy, I found numerous serious mistakes that are remarkably frequent among Saudi businesses.

Important categories to create:

|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
* Traditional adherence spectrum
|
|
|
|
|
* Digital sophistication degrees

Not long ago, I observed as three competitors spent significantly into growing their presence on a certain social media platform. Their initiatives failed spectacularly as the medium appeared to be a bad match for our industry.

For [Https://Events.Columbian.Com/?P=73345](https://events.columbian.com/?p=73345) a financial services customer, we developed a tailored measurement framework that incorporated locally-important interaction signals. This technique uncovered previously hidden business potential that increased their sales by one hundred twenty-seven percent.

For a public portal, we developed specialized measurement that uncovered significant variations in engagement between local tongue and English-preferring visitors. This insight created targeted optimizations that enhanced total platform effectiveness by seventy-three percent.

I use a basic spreadsheet to record our competitors' pricing adjustments weekly. This has already allowed us to:
|
|
|
|
|
* Identify cyclical price reductions
|
|
|
|
|
* Detect package deal approaches
|
|
|
|
|
* Understand their cost structure

When I established my e-commerce business three years ago, I was sure that our distinctive products would sell themselves. I dismissed competitive research as unnecessary – a decision that almost destroyed my entire venture.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I suggest classifying competitors as:
|
|
|
|
|
* Direct competitors (offering nearly identical products/services)
|
|
|
|
|
* Secondary competitors (with partial resemblance)
|
|
|
|
|
* New threats (new companies with game-changing models)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I spend at least 120 minutes each week examining our competitors':
|
|
|
|
|
* Digital architecture and UX
|
|
|
|
|
* Content strategy and content calendar
|
|
|
|
|
* Social media activity
|
|
|
|
|
* Customer reviews and assessments
|
|
|
|
|
* SEO tactics and rankings
|
|
|
|
|

Start by identifying ALL your rivals – not just the major ones. In our analysis, we identified that our biggest competitor wasn't the well-known business we were watching, but a recent startup with an unique strategy.
