SEO for Universities.
Own enrolment season.
Prospective students across MENA research universities for months before applying. They ask Google, and increasingly they ask AI. If your institution is not in those answers at every stage of the research journey, a competitor is.
Generic SEO
does not cut it here.
University SEO is complex — large sites, multiple faculties, programme pages in two languages, and a long research cycle that requires content at every stage. Most MENA universities have technically broken sites, missing schema, and zero AI visibility strategy. That is the gap.
What I do
for your sector.

University SEO is
a long-cycle discipline.
I understand the full student research journey — from early awareness queries to specific programme comparisons to admission intent. I build content architectures that serve students at every stage and convert at the moment of decision.
From public universities in Cairo to private institutions in Dubai and Riyadh — MENA higher education is underinvested in SEO and the institutions that fix that now will own organic enrolment for years.

Faculty and programme architecture
Information architecture and URL strategy for large university sites with hundreds of programme pages across multiple faculties.
Bilingual university SEO
Arabic and English SEO strategy with correct hreflang — for the MENA students who search in both languages.
Enrolment intent content
Content targeting students at the moment they are ready to apply — not just browsing — to maximise application conversion from organic traffic.
