Riyadh · Vision 2030Live in RiyadhPerformance marketing, GEO, AI automation, B2B outbound, web design, AI creative, marketing strategy, and social media for Riyadh founders, CEOs, and business owners.
Trusted across 20+ platforms
Formal partner status on every primary ad platform we run
We wire these into client stacks as the operating layer
AI engines we work with directly for citation and GEO
Riyadh is the most AI-receptive buyer market in the region. Vision 2030 pulled forward five years of AI adoption into eighteen months. Xpand Media fits that pace with GEO that gets brands cited in ChatGPT and Perplexity, AI ops that automate the manual reporting layer, and paid that reports on pipeline rather than impressions. Engagements run in the Saudi working week (Sun-Thu) and respect the local calendar.
Market data · $2B+ deployed in Saudi tech in 2025; Riyadh anchors 80%+ of national VC. Vision 2030 PIF backing across SaaS, fintech, and AI.
Saudi Arabia's capital and the Vision 2030 acceleration center
Founder pain points · Riyadh
Pain 01
Compressed timelines, fast capital deployment, urgency in everything. Slow agency cadence kills engagements before month 2.
Pain 02
Saudi B2B requires native Arabic content for paid social, organic SEO, and GEO entity work. Generic English-only execution underperforms heavily.
Pain 03
Saudi has the world's highest Snapchat penetration. Most non-MENA agencies skip it entirely; that's a meaningful audience missed.
Pain 04
Saudi SaaS rarely scales to $20M+ ARR from KSA alone. UAE + Egypt expansion is the default playbook within 18 months.

Market intelligence · Riyadh
Channel mix
Saudi paid mix is genuinely Snapchat-first for consumer/DTC. B2B leans LinkedIn + Google Ads but skipping Snapchat means missing the largest single Saudi audience platform.
VC and accelerator ecosystem
Sanabil Investments, STV (Saudi Technology Ventures), Wa'ed Ventures (Aramco), KAUST Innovation, Raed Ventures, Hala Ventures. Strong sovereign + corporate VC backing under Vision 2030.
How Xpand wins here
