Track Arabic, French and Hebrew search results locally

Since 2025 Google serves every country from google.com and localises results by the searcher's location. For MENA rankings, the country of the IP now matters as much as the query.

Quick answer

How do I see Saudi or Egyptian Google results in Arabic from abroad?

Search from a residential IP in that country, with the query written in Arabic and the interface language set to Arabic. Google redirects country domains such as google.com.sa to google.com since April 2025 and localises results by location. MENA Proxies sells home IPs in 14 MENA countries, including Saudi Arabia (country-sa) and Egypt (country-eg), at $1.88 for 1 GB, as of October 2026, with no KYC.

What changed when Google dropped country domains?

On 15 April 2025 Google announced that it would redirect country-code domains such as google.ae, google.com.sa and google.com.eg to google.com. Google said that results had already been localised by the searcher's location since 2017, so the country domain no longer changed the results.

For rank tracking, that removes an old shortcut: typing google.com.sa from abroad no longer gives Saudi results. The location of the searcher, read mainly from the IP address, decides the country version. A home IP in the country gives you the same starting point as a local searcher.

Which language settings should I combine with each country?

Why do Arabic queries need extra care?

  • Spelling variants: Arabic users type the same word with or without hamza, with ta marbuta or ha, and with Arabic or Western digits. Track the variants your audience uses; each can rank differently.
  • Dialect words: Egyptian and Gulf users use different everyday words for the same product. A Saudi keyword list run from an Egyptian IP tells you little.
  • Mixed scripts: many searches mix Arabic and Latin script, especially brand names. Track both forms.
  • Right-to-left display: store results as text, not only as screenshots, so that ranks can be compared automatically.

Can I automate Google searches through a proxy?

No. Google's terms prohibit automated access that ignores robots.txt, and google.com/robots.txt disallows /search. Since 2025 Google also requires JavaScript to show results, so a plain script receives a page without results. MENA Proxies is for manual spot checks: a person searching in a browser set to a local IP.

For rank tracking at volume, use a SERP data provider, or Google Search Console for your own site. Our Acceptable Use Policy forbids automated CAPTCHA solving and tools built to defeat bot detection.

How do I run a manual check from Saudi Arabia?

  1. Point a browser at the gateway

    Set the browser proxy to gw.menaproxies.com, port 7777, with the username USERNAME-country-sa-session-x1-ttl-30 so the whole check stays on one Saudi IP.

  2. Use a clean profile in Arabic

    A fresh browser profile, no signed-in account, interface language Arabic (hl=ar).

  3. Type the query yourself

    Search in Arabic as a local user would, and note the time and the session ID.

  4. Record what you see

    Save a screenshot and the order of the results. Repeat later rather than in bulk.

How much traffic do manual SERP checks use?

A result page loaded in a browser moves around a megabyte or more, with scripts and images. 1 GB ($1.88) covers hundreds of manual checks, and traffic never expires. Prices as of October 2026.

SERP tracking: questions

Does google.com.sa still give Saudi results?

No longer from abroad. Since Google's April 2025 change, google.com.sa redirects to google.com, and results follow the searcher's location. To see Saudi results, search from a Saudi IP such as USERNAME-country-sa, with the query in Arabic and hl=ar.

Do I need city-level IPs for local SEO in Riyadh or Dubai?

For queries with local intent, such as restaurants or clinics, yes: results change by city. Add -city-riyadh or -city-dubai when IPs are online there. For national queries, country targeting is enough.

Can I track Hebrew results in Israel?

Yes. Use USERNAME-country-il, write the query in Hebrew and set hl=iw. See the Israel page for networks and languages.

Can I track thousands of keywords with MENA Proxies?

Not through Google search pages. Google's terms and robots.txt rule out automated queries on /search, so MENA Proxies suits manual spot checks. For thousands of keywords, use a SERP data provider, or Search Console for your own site.
