How we read the Egyptian search market

كيف نقرأ سوق البحث المصري

Every recommendation we make starts from a structured view of search demand — clusters of related queries, the intent behind them, and the page-type best suited to win them.

Framework status

The framework is ready. The data layer activates per project.

This page explains the structure we use to classify Egyptian search demand. Real keyword volumes, CPC, and difficulty are only shown when a verified export is connected to a specific client project.

Data integrity pledge

No fabricated volumes. No invented difficulty scores. Strategy is built from real exports and verified SERP review.

Method

A shared structure across every site we work on

Each row in our intelligence dataset describes one query: its industry, location, intent, parent topic, cluster and the page type best fit to capture it. The same structure powers strategy across every site, while the data behind each site stays unique.

Structured rows

Industry, intent, location, parent topic, cluster, suggested page type and editorial angle — for every keyword.

Clusters over keywords

We plan around clusters of related queries, not single keywords. Each cluster maps to one strong page.

Intent-led

Local, commercial, transactional, informational — intent decides the page type and the call-to-action.

Intent clusters

The four search intents we plan around

نوايا البحث الأربعة

Every query in the Egyptian market is sorted into one of four intents. The intent decides the page type, the layout, the CTA — and whether the query belongs in a service page, a location page, a listing page or a guide.

Local

Local intent

The searcher wants a result tied to a specific Egyptian city, district or branch — usually triggers a Maps pack.

الباحث عايز نتيجة في مدينة، حي، أو فرع معين في مصر — وغالبًا بتظهر باقة الخرائط.

Sample queries

  • دكتور أسنان في مدينة نصر
  • best restaurant zamalek
  • محامي في الإسكندرية

Page type: Branch / city / area page

Commercial

Commercial investigation

Comparing options before buying — best, vs, top, reviews, alternatives. Decides who gets shortlisted.

بيقارن قبل الشراء — أفضل، vs، توب، مراجعات، بدائل — هنا بيتحدد مين يدخل القائمة المختصرة.

Sample queries

  • best ERP software egypt
  • أفضل كمبوند في القاهرة الجديدة
  • iphone vs samsung

Page type: Comparison / listicle / category page

Transactional

Transactional intent

Ready to act — buy, book, request, contact, price. The highest-value queries on the site.

جاهز يتحرك — اشتري، احجز، اطلب، تواصل، سعر — وده أعلى القيم على الموقع.

Sample queries

  • شقق للبيع في التجمع الخامس
  • احجز موعد دكتور
  • request a quote SEO

Page type: Listing / product / lead-form page

Informational

Informational intent

Researching the topic — how, what, why, guide, meaning. Feeds the funnel and builds topical authority.

بيتعلّم عن الموضوع — إزاي، إيه، ليه، دليل، معنى — وده اللي بيغذّي القمع وبيبني السلطة الموضوعية.

Sample queries

  • إزاي تشتري شقة بالتقسيط
  • what is technical seo
  • دليل تسجيل العقار في مصر

Page type: Guide / blog / hub article

What we track

Signals captured for every keyword

المؤشرات اللي بنرصدها

No vanity metrics. We only track signals that change the recommended page or the priority of the work.

Industry

Which Egyptian industry the query belongs to — drives which service page wins it.

Location

City, district or country-wide — controls whether the page is local, regional or national.

Intent

Local, commercial, transactional or informational — decides the page type and the CTA.

Parent topic

The broad theme the cluster belongs to — used to build topical hubs.

Cluster

The set of related queries that share one page. We plan around clusters, never single keywords.

Page type

Service, location, product, comparison, guide — the recommended template for the cluster.

Language

Arabic, English or both — controls hreflang, URL strategy and content order.

Editorial angle

The hook that differentiates our page from the current SERP — written, not auto-generated.

SERP shape

Maps pack, PAA, image pack, aggregator dominance — defines what a winning page must include.

Sample row

What a single row in the dataset looks like

One row per keyword — qualitative fields that drive the page-type and the recommended SEO move. Numeric fields (volume, KD, CPC) are only populated for an active client project from a verified export.
