Yes, and the answers are different from anywhere else. Asked for the UAE, the engines read UAE pages: Google Maps, the regulator registers (DHA, RERA, the FTA), noon and dubizzle, Bayut, the Gulf press. They answer per emirate, and a growing share of consumer questions are in Arabic, which few sites answer. The UAE pages on this site say what changes per trade.
What is specific to the UAE
The emirate in the sentence: 'in Dubai' and 'in Abu Dhabi' are answered from pages that name each. The licence: clinics, brokers, schools and tax agents are checked against the register. The free zone: DIFC, DMCC and JAFZA are asked about by name for legal, financial and logistics questions. And dirhams: 'under AED 50,000' is answered from pages with a dirham figure.
Arabic
Arabic questions are answered from Arabic pages, and in most trades there are few. A company with Arabic versions of its key pages is named in Arabic answers against thin competition. For B2B, English still carries most of it.
The term behind it: AI visibility
How often AI answer engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews) name a company when a buyer asks who to consider in its category, and whether they cite its own pages when they do. Measured as a share of recorded answers, weighted by position in the list and by citation.
The first of the report's two scores, out of 100. Every buyer question is put to every engine; an answer that names the company scores by position (first named counts most) and by whether the company's own site was cited. The score is the weighted share across all recorded answers, with the engines that answered nothing left out of the denominator and named in the header. AI visibility, in full.
