Sector report — 2026 edition
Private clinic websites in Riyadh: the Gulf's best average, with one big hole
We collected 360 Riyadh clinics from public listings and scanned the 166 reachable websites on 20 published technical criteria. Riyadh posts the strongest average of the eight editions we scanned — and the clearest single weakness.
Quick answer
Riyadh's 166 scanned clinic websites average 73/100 — the best of our eight 2026 sector scans. 90% offer Arabic and 76% render it correctly right-to-left, the inverse of Dubai's picture. The hole is conversion plumbing: only 42% have a working contact form, 37% validate it, and 58% carry GA4. Notably, 19% carry a TikTok pixel — almost five times Dubai's clinic rate.
The sector in four numbers
- 45%
- of the 360 establishments found on public listings showed no usable website at all
- 73/100
- average technical score across the 166 websites scanned (median 74)
- 61%
- median Lighthouse mobile performance score — Google flags anything under 90%
- 26%
- have a Meta pixel — the rest run (or will run) paid campaigns with no conversion feedback
Collection 2026-10-31, from public listings (OpenStreetMap + Google Maps) — a coverage of publicly listed establishments, not a census. 28 listed websites were unreachable at scan time.
Three findings that matter if you run a clinic in Riyadh
First: Arabic-first is the norm here, not the differentiator. 90% of scanned sites offer Arabic and three quarters render it properly — so unlike Dubai, Arabic alone wins nothing. The differentiators that remain open are speed (median 61%), structured data (55%) and measurement.
Second: the sector loses patients between interest and contact. Fewer than half the scanned clinics have a working contact form, and barely a third validate input before submission. With 72% offering some booking path, the gap is specifically forms — the channel patients use outside working hours. A clinic that fixes its form competes against a sector where most haven't.
Third: TikTok is already in the stack. 19% of Riyadh clinics carry a TikTok pixel versus 5% in Dubai — consistent with Saudi Arabia's platform mix — but only 26% carry a Meta pixel, so most paid traffic on either platform still runs unmeasured. Under SFDA rules, health advertising requires prior approval regardless of platform; measurement is the part that is entirely in the clinic's hands.

Technical measurements of public websites, collected 2026-10-31 — a ranking of websites, not of anyone's services, prices or quality of care. "Perf." is the Lighthouse mobile performance score. Listed and want a re-scan, a correction or removal? One email: the next build honours it.
What this ranking is — and is not
The table above ranks websites, not businesses. Every column is a publicly observable technical fact — page speed, HTTPS, Arabic support, booking paths, measurement tooling — collected by the same scanner, with the same weights, on the same dates, across the entire sector. We make no judgement about anyone's services, prices or quality of care, and a high or low position says nothing about either.
Everything outside the top 20 is anonymised into the sector statistics on this page. Where a measurement could not be taken, we say so rather than estimate it. The full criteria list, weights and scanning rules are public on the methodology page, and any listed business can request a free re-scan, a correction or removal from the named table — we honour all three in the next build.
What the sector builds on
| Platform | Sites | Share of scanned |
|---|---|---|
| WordPress | 71 | 43% |
| Not identifiable from the page | 69 | 42% |
| Next.js | 9 | 5% |
| Nuxt | 4 | 2% |
| Wix | 2 | 1% |
| TYPO3 CMS | 1 | 1% |
Detected from public page signatures (generator tags, asset paths). A custom or hardened build shows as not identifiable — that is not a defect.

Frequently asked questions
Twenty public criteria with published weights — speed, HTTPS, mobile, Arabic support, contact and booking paths, WhatsApp, analytics, ad pixels, structured data, freshness — measured by the same scanner across the whole sector. The methodology page lists every criterion and its weight.
Both take one email. Request your full result through the free audit (you receive the complete bilingual report for your site), or ask for removal from the named table and the next build of this report honours it.
The collection covers establishments visible on public listings (OpenStreetMap and Google Maps) in October 2026 with a working website on file. If your listing had no website — true for a large share of the sector — there was nothing to scan. The free audit works on any URL regardless.
Yes — the scan re-runs periodically and each edition states its collection date. Scores move only when the underlying measurements move.
Mostly Arabic: 90% of Riyadh clinic sites offer it versus 39% in Dubai, and Arabic support carries real weight in the published scoring. On speed, structure and measurement the two cities are close — Dubai actually leads on booking paths and analytics coverage.
