Search engine optimization can become the most profitable marketing channel for a Jordanian business. When your website ranks for searches like "best dental clinic in Amman" or "furniture store Jordan", customers come to you every day without paying for each click. But choosing the wrong SEO company can waste months and money, or even damage your website. Here are the questions we recommend every business owner in Jordan asks before signing.
1. What results have you achieved for businesses like mine?
Ask for real examples, ideally in your industry or a similar one, with numbers such as organic traffic, leads or keyword positions before and after. A serious company will explain the context and timeline, not only show a screenshot.
2. How will you choose our keywords?
Good SEO starts with research into what your customers actually search, in Arabic and English. In Jordan many people search in Arabic, in English and even in "Arabizi". The agency should explain how it will balance high-volume keywords with high-intent keywords that bring customers.
3. What will you do in the first 90 days?
You should receive a clear plan: technical audit, fixes, page optimization, content creation and local SEO. If the answer is vague, such as "we will work on your SEO", be careful.
4. Will you write Arabic content?
Arabic content is a big opportunity in Jordan because competition is often lower than in English. Ask who writes it and whether it is written natively or translated by a tool.
5. How do you build links?
Links are important, but bought or spammy links can get your site penalized. Prefer agencies that earn links through partnerships, local directories, PR and useful content.
6. Do you handle technical SEO yourselves?
Many SEO problems are technical: slow speed, mobile issues, duplicate pages or broken Arabic URLs. An agency that can also fix websites, not only report problems, saves you time.
7. What about Google Maps and local SEO?
For clinics, restaurants, showrooms and service companies, appearing in the Google Maps results in Amman, Irbid or Zarqa can bring more calls than regular results. Ask how they will optimize your Google Business Profile and reviews.
8. How will you report results?
Monthly reports should include rankings, organic traffic, and most importantly conversions: calls, forms and WhatsApp clicks from Google. Ask to see an example report.
9. Who owns the work?
Your website, content, Google Search Console and Analytics accounts must stay in your name. Avoid contracts where the agency keeps control of your accounts.
10. How long until we see results?
An honest answer is usually two to three months for first movements and four to six months for strong results, depending on competition. Be very careful with anyone who guarantees the first position on Google in a few weeks.
Red flags to avoid
- Guaranteed rankings or "page one in 30 days" promises.
- Very cheap packages based on hundreds of backlinks.
- No access to your accounts or data.
- Reports full of numbers but no leads or sales.
