When Qatar asks AI, does it name you?

We find out whether ChatGPT Search, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity name your business when Doha buyers ask who to hire, in Arabic and English, and fix what they don't. It starts with a free audit.

01

Why you are not named

The assistants already answer. Without you.

Ask ChatGPT Search, Google AI Overviews or Perplexity who to hire in Doha, and the answer often names businesses. Four gaps make it harder for yours to be one of them.

  • 01Entity chaos

    Your name is not one name.

    Your English trading name, your Arabic commercial-registration name, your phone and your address disagree across your site, your Google profile and directories. An assistant comparing sources finds no single version of you to repeat.

  • 02Prose, not answers

    "Contact us for pricing" is invisible.

    Assistants lift clear, self-contained answers. A page that says what you do, for whom, where and roughly what it costs gives them something to quote. Brochure prose does not.

  • 03No corroboration

    Nobody else vouches for you.

    No Google reviews, no consistent Qatar listings, no third-party mentions. An answer that cites sources has nothing of yours to cite beyond your own website.

  • 04No Arabic

    Arabic questions have less of yours to find.

    Your buyers may ask in Arabic. If your pages exist in English alone, that answer has less of yours to work with, and your English result tells you nothing about your Arabic one.

02

What we build

The five things we build.

Google's own documentation says its AI search features need no special schema or AI file. So this is the fundamentals, done completely, in Arabic and English.

  • 01One entity

    One name, everywhere.

    English trading name, the Arabic name on your commercial registration, phone and address set once, then matched across your site, structured data, llms.txt, Google Business Profile, Qatar directories and LinkedIn.

  • 02Google profile

    A pin that lands on your door.

    Duplicates dealt with, categories and service area set, a bilingual description, and the map pin checked against your zone, street and building numbers. Then the same details on the Qatar listings your sector relies on.

  • 03Technical access

    Nothing blocks the crawlers.

    robots.txt checked so the crawlers behind ChatGPT Search, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity can reach your pages. A human-written llms.txt, one connected structured-data graph, reciprocal Arabic and English language tags, and page speed.

  • 04Answer-first pages

    Pages that answer, in Arabic and English.

    Each core page opens with what you do, for whom, where and roughly what it costs, then the questions buyers ask, in English and in Arabic set right to left, never machine-translated.

  • 05Measurement

    A dated baseline, so movement is shown, not asserted.

    The same buyer questions run through ChatGPT Search, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity, in Arabic and English, with every answer logged: named or not, position, competitors named, sources cited, date and language.

03

How it runs

Free audit, foundation, then a monthly cadence.

Four steps. The audit is free. The Foundation project and the monthly programme are quoted after it, once we know what you already have.

  1. Free audit.

    Buyer questions for your service run through ChatGPT Search, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity in Arabic and English, every answer logged. You get an English score and an Arabic score against eight published criteria, the gaps ranked, and the fixes in order. The findings are yours either way.

    • Free · QAR 0
    • AR + EN
    • 3 engines
  2. Foundation, 4–6 weeks.

    The five things above, as a fixed-scope project quoted after the audit: one entity, your Google profile and listings, technical fixes, answer-first pages, and the measurement baseline.

    • Fixed scope
    • Quoted after the audit
  3. Monthly programme, three months minimum.

    Answer-first pages published, review requests sent with consent, listings kept consistent, and a monthly report with Arabic and English results set out separately. After the first three months it runs month to month.

    • Month to month after three months
    • Quoted after the audit
  4. Quarterly re-run.

    The full question set again (same questions, same engines, same languages) compared against your dated baseline, and the plan adjusted to what moved.

    • Against the baseline

Before the call

Asked before every audit.

Something else on your mind? Book a call. We answer the rest there.

Can you guarantee ChatGPT Search, Google AI Overviews or Perplexity will recommend us?

No, and no one honestly can: nobody controls what these engines say. What we can do is fix what they can check (your entity, your Google profile, your pages and whether crawlers can reach them) and show you a dated log of which questions name you, before and after. If anyone guarantees placement, treat that as the warning sign.

How is this different from SEO?

SEO earns a link in a list; AI visibility is being named inside the answer. The two overlap. Google says its AI search features need no special schema or AI text file: to appear as a supporting link, a page must be indexed and eligible for a snippet. So we build the fundamentals once, for both, and measure answers separately.

Does any of this apply in Arabic?

Yes, and we measure it separately. In May 2025 Google announced its AI answers in Search for the Middle East and North Africa, with Arabic support. Every audit question runs through ChatGPT Search, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity in Arabic and English, reported side by side and never averaged, so an English score cannot hide an Arabic gap.

How long before we see anything?

It compounds rather than spikes. Profile and listing fixes can show within weeks. Being named in answers, if it comes, takes longer, because corroboration has to build, and competitive Doha questions are harder. We report against your dated baseline, so you see the direction before any outcome. We will not promise a date, because no one controls it.

What does the free audit include?

Buyer questions for your service run through ChatGPT Search, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity in Arabic and English, with every answer logged. You also get a review of your website and Google Business Profile, an English and an Arabic score against eight published criteria, and prioritised fixes. It costs nothing, QAR 0, and the findings are yours.

What does it cost after the audit?

The audit is free. The Foundation project and the monthly programme are quoted after it, because the scope depends on how much of the groundwork you already have. We do not put a figure on either until we have seen what the audit finds.

We have two Google listings and the pin is wrong. Can you fix that?

Usually, yes. We get the profile claimed and verified, deal with the duplicate through Google's own process, correct the pin against your zone, street and building numbers, set your categories and service area, and make the listing match your website exactly. Some steps wait on Google, so we tell you what is pending rather than promise a date.

Is it legal in Qatar to message customers asking for reviews?

With consent, yes. We treat a review request by message as electronic marketing, which Qatar's Personal Data Privacy Protection Law (Law No. 13 of 2016) allows only with prior, explicit consent. Each message must identify the sender, say it is marketing and offer an opt-out. This is general information, not legal advice; have a Qatar-qualified lawyer check your templates.
