How is SEO scoped in Iraq?
Plans are scoped after discovery around technical fixes, on-page optimization, local visibility, language needs, content gaps, authority, and measurement access. The proposal defines the engagement terms and reporting cadence before work starts.
How long does SEO take to show results in Iraq?
There is no fixed timetable. Technical changes can be verified after release and recrawling, while query movement depends on the starting position, competition, authority, content, indexing, and demand. Establish a dated query-to-page baseline and report movement without promising a deadline.
Do you do Arabic SEO?
Yes. Arabic SEO needs its own query research, intent mapping, native-quality copy, RTL implementation, and language-specific review. Iraqi dialect variants are considered when they appear in current search evidence; English copy is not simply translated and assumed to serve the same intent.
Can you help with Google Maps and local search in Baghdad?
Yes. Local SEO is a separate but related service. We optimize Google Business Profiles, build local citations across Iraqi directories, and tune on-site signals for "near me" and city-specific searches across Baghdad, Erbil, Basra, Mosul, Sulaymaniyah, Najaf, and Karbala.
What's actually included in monthly SEO reports?
Reports cover the agreed query set, landing-page traffic by available city and language dimensions, technical work completed, content changes, and qualified actions attributed to organic search where consent and analytics permit. The format stays concise and tied to decisions.
Can you guarantee page-1 rankings?
No. Rankings depend on search-engine systems, competitors, demand, authority, indexing, and the starting position. Ijjad documents the technical baseline, priority queries and pages, work completed, and measured outcomes without promising a position or deadline.
How do you handle Arabic, Kurdish, and English search intent in Iraq?
We inspect the live query and result-page evidence for each target market before deciding which languages need separate keyword tracks and pages. When Sorani Kurdish, Arabic, and English pages serve distinct audiences, we plan native-quality content, internal links, and reciprocal hreflang rather than applying one fixed language split.
How should an Iraqi business prioritize SEO work?
Start with crawl and indexing blockers, then map commercially relevant queries to the correct pages and measure which landing pages produce qualified actions. Local profiles, useful content, and earned authority follow from that baseline. Page count and publishing volume are not ranking targets.
