Why SEO now includes AI search
Google still sends most search traffic, but more buyers now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google's AI Overviews first. Those tools recommend brands they can read and that other sites vouch for. The technical checks in this list keep Google happy; the authority checks decide whether AI answers mention you at all.
Why a GCC edition
UAE and Saudi websites usually serve two languages, two currencies and very different search habits. Most generic checklists skip bilingual setup, right-to-left layouts and local trust signals, which is where GCC sites lose the most visibility.
