SEO & GEO Agency in Iraq

We rank brands in Iraq on Google in Arabic and English, put their branches on the map, and get them named in AI answers. Fewer Iraqi businesses invest in SEO than in social ads, so the ones that do have room to lead. No SEO case from Iraq is published yet; the dashboard below is from Jordan and labelled as such.

Part 01 · Technical SEO

Technical SEO for sites and stores in Iraq

Best for in Iraq: sites Google cannot crawl or render, or that load slowly on a phone.

95+mobile PageSpeed · Jordan

Many sites we see for the Iraqi market were built quickly for a launch and never checked again: heavy pages on mobile networks, Arabic URLs Google cannot match, copies of the same page and no structured data. We fix the base first, because no content ranks on a site Google cannot read.

Crawl & index

Robots rules, XML sitemaps, canonicals and the pages Google should and should not index.

Speed on mobile networks

Images, scripts and themes cleaned so pages load fast on Iraqi mobile connections, not only on office Wi-Fi.

On-page SEO and content in Iraqi wording

Best for in Iraq: ranking for what Iraqi buyers type, in Arabic, in English and in local words.

28luxury keywords ranked first · Jordan

Part 03 · Local SEO

Local SEO and Google Maps in Baghdad, Erbil and Basra

Best for in Iraq: clinics, restaurants, hotels, showrooms and services that sell to people nearby.

When someone in Baghdad or Erbil looks for a clinic, a restaurant or a showroom, Google Maps answers first, and many Iraqi businesses still have no verified profile, wrong pins or no photos. We set up and run your Google Business Profile for each branch, build a page per city, and earn the reviews that move you up the map.

Google Business Profile

A profile per branch, verified, with the right pin, categories, services, photos and posts.

A simple way for happy customers to leave reviews, and replies in Arabic and English.

Part 04 · Store SEO

Shopify and WooCommerce SEO

Best for in Iraq: stores with many products, thin category pages and duplicate URLs.

Most online stores selling in Iraq run on Shopify, WooCommerce or a custom build. Each gives you a base, but default product titles, empty categories and filter URLs hold most of them back. We fix the structure, write the category and product copy, and get your products into rich results.

Part 05 · GEO

GEO: get named by ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews

Best for in Iraq: brands that buyers ask AI assistants about before they search.

More buyers in Iraq now ask an AI assistant which clinic, school, store or supplier to choose, and the answers draw on the few Iraqi sources that are clear and well structured. Generative engine optimization (GEO) makes your brand one of them: clear facts on your site, answer-ready pages, and mentions on the sites these tools read.

FAQ

SEO and GEO in Iraq, answered

Anything else? Ask us on WhatsApp.

Is SEO worth it in Iraq, where most selling happens on social media?

Yes, for most brands. Fewer Iraqi businesses compete on Google than on Facebook and Instagram, and people who search for a clinic, a school, a hotel or a product by name are ready to act. Good pages also feed the AI answers more buyers now read.

Do you do SEO in Arabic and English for Iraq?

Yes. We research and write Arabic and English separately, with the Iraqi words buyers really search for, and connect the versions with hreflang. For a Kurdish version, your team or a native Kurdish writer provides the copy and we handle the structure and linking.

Do you have SEO results from Iraq?

Not published yet. The SEO results on this page come from Jordan and are labelled that way, for example 86,600 organic clicks for a luxury watches store over 16 months. We publish Iraq SEO cases when the client agrees and the numbers are in.

Can you put my business on Google Maps in Baghdad, Erbil or Basra?

We set up and verify your Google Business Profile for each branch, fix the pin and details, build city pages and grow reviews, which are the main things that move a business up the map. Nobody can promise a fixed position.

What is GEO, and do I need it?

GEO (generative engine optimization) helps AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews find, trust and name your brand. If buyers ask AI which brand to choose in your category, you need it.

What is in the 3-month SEO + GEO package?

Month 1 is the foundation (technical fixes, tracking, Google Business Profile, keyword map), month 2 the pages and content, month 3 GEO and authority. Each month ends with a report and a call.

How long until SEO works?

Technical fixes can show within weeks; content and authority build over months. We report every month on what moved, so you always see the direction.
