Sector reports
The state of Gulf business websites, measured — not opined
Eight public reports built from our own scans of clinic and real-estate websites in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh and Jeddah — public listings plus, for UAE clinics, the official licence registries: 20 technical criteria per website, a named top-20 of observable facts, the rest anonymised. Data collected October 2026 — all eight 2026 editions are published below.
Quick answer
We collected 3,523 establishments from public listings across four Gulf cities, extended the UAE clinic lists with 2,116 licensed clinics from the official registries, and scanned 3,071 websites against 20 published criteria. Sector averages run from 61/100 (Dubai clinics, full licensed base) to 73/100 (Riyadh clinics). Each report gives the sector's real numbers — speed, Arabic support, booking, tracking — a top-20 ranked on observable technical facts only, and what the averages mean for your own site.

The named top-20 in each report ranks websites, not businesses: publicly observable technical facts such as speed, HTTPS, Arabic support, booking paths and measurement tooling. We make no judgement about anyone's services, prices or quality of care, and any listed business can request a free re-scan or removal.
Everything else is anonymised into sector statistics. Where a measurement could not be taken, the report says so — numbers are measured or absent, never invented. The scoring weights and scanning rules are public on the methodology page.
Frequently asked questions
Twenty criteria with published weights, measured on your public website by the same scanner across the whole sector. The methodology page lists every criterion, its weight, and how it is measured.
Both take one email. Request your score via the free audit (you get the full bilingual report), or ask for removal from the named table and we honour it in the next build.
The scans ran in two waves — public listings, completed on 30 October 2026, and the official UAE licence registries, completed on 31 October 2026 — and the eight editions are published with the collection date stated on every figure. The scan re-runs periodically.
Sector-level aggregates are published in the reports. Per-business raw results are shared only with that business — request yours through the free audit.
