Question 1

What does the UAE website checker look at?

Accepted Answer

Four areas: Arabic & localisation (a real Arabic version, RTL layout, hreflang, Arabic fonts), UAE legal & compliance (PDPL privacy policy, cookie consent, VAT TRN, trade licence, and for clinics a DHA/DoH/MOHAP licence and restricted advertising claims), local presence (+971 number, WhatsApp click-to-chat, emirate address, map, LocalBusiness schema with a UAE address, opening hours, .ae domain) and trust & conversion (HTTPS, reviews, calls to action, social links, mobile readiness, WhatsApp link preview).

Question 2

Is this legal advice?

Accepted Answer

No. It's a technical scan that flags what is commonly expected or required for websites operating in the UAE, based on public guidance from the FTA, UAE PDPL and health authorities. For specific obligations, confirm with your licensing authority or a legal adviser.

Question 3

Why does Arabic matter if my customers speak English?

Accepted Answer

Around 70% of UAE residents are comfortable in English, but Arabic speakers, government bodies and many corporate buyers expect an Arabic option, and bilingual sites capture Arabic searches your competitors miss. It also signals a serious local presence.
