Key reading

Branded Residences Saudi Arabia · Riyadh / Jeddah / NEOM · Organic search · August 17–23, 2026

rakez.sa holds median position 1 on this query across the 7-run window, present in 7 of 7 comparable runs. bayut.sa sits at position 2 and alrossais.com at position 3, both with identical presence — 7 of 7 comparable runs. The top-3 is stable across the entire window, with a maximum rank variance of 1 positions, which means the organic surface for this specific query shows no churn at the top. Two social platforms — facebook.com and instagram.com — fill the remaining slots, but instagram.com appeared in only 2 of 7 comparable runs, making its hold on position 4 intermittent rather than structural.

How the actors read on the surface

Branded Residences Saudi Arabia · Riyadh / Jeddah / NEOM · Organic search · August 17–23, 2026

rakez.sa

rakez.sa holds the first organic position on this query across all 7 comparable runs in the window. Its presence frequency — 7 of 7 comparable runs (100%) — and its median position 1 mark it as the most consistently visible domain on this exact query during the observed period.

bayut.sa

bayut.sa appears at the second organic position on this query, with a median of position 2 and presence in 7 of 7 comparable runs (100%). Its consistency mirrors that of the rank-1 actor — no run in the window displaced it from the top-3.

alrossais.com

alrossais.com appears at the third organic position on this query, present in 7 of 7 comparable runs (100%). It completes a locked top-3 that held across every observation in the window.

facebook.com

facebook.com appears at the fourth organic position on this query with a median of position 4 and presence in 7 of 7 comparable runs (100%). As a social platform rather than a specialist operator, its consistent appearance at position 4 signals that user-generated or discussion content surfaces reliably on this ROI-comparison query.

instagram.com

instagram.com also records a median of position 4 on this query, but its presence is limited to 2 of 7 comparable runs (29%). That intermittent visibility distinguishes it sharply from the four actors above, which appeared in every run.

Pattern on the observed surface

The panel splits into two structural tiers

The panel splits into two structural tiers. The top-3 — rakez.sa, bayut.sa, alrossais.com — is stable across all 7 runs with no churn and a maximum rank variance of 1 positions, forming a locked block. Below them, the surface is occupied by two social platforms: facebook.com with full-window presence and instagram.com with intermittent visibility. The spread from position 1 to position 4 is 3 positions, but the real divide is between the three domains that never move and the platform layer that fills the remaining slots. This is a top-heavy, structurally settled surface for one query — not contested, not fragmented, but locked.

Why this reading matters

Branded Residences Saudi Arabia · Riyadh / Jeddah / NEOM · Organic search · August 17–23, 2026

rakez.sa's grip on position 1 across every run in the window is notable because the query itself — "compare ROI from Riyadh vs Jeddah branded residences" — is a competitive, comparison-intent query where one might expect more volatility. Instead, the organic surface for this query reads as structurally decided, at least within this 7-run observation.

Market implication

Branded Residences Saudi Arabia · Riyadh / Jeddah / NEOM · Organic search · August 17–23, 2026

The stability of this query's organic surface across the 7-run window suggests that any operator not already in the top-3 faces a structural barrier on this specific query. The presence of two social platforms at position 4 — one consistent, one intermittent — indicates that user-generated content surfaces reliably on ROI-comparison queries in this market, but does not displace the locked top-3. This observation reads one query, not the full market, but the absence of churn at the top of this particular query is a signal worth monitoring.

FAQ

Does this card prove that rakez.sa is the overall leader in Branded Residences Saudi Arabia?
No. This card reads one exact query — "compare ROI from Riyadh vs Jeddah branded residences" — observed across 7 comparable scheduled runs. It does not read the full market surface or the broader query panel.
What does 'median organic position' mean in this context?
Each actor's best organic position on this query was recorded across the runs where it appeared. The median of those positions is the value shown — it smooths out single-run fluctuations and reflects the actor's typical placement across the window.
Why does instagram.com show position 4 despite appearing in only 2 of 7 runs?
The median is computed across the runs where the actor was present. instagram.com held position 4 in both of its 2 appearances, so its median is position 4 — but its low presence frequency (2 of 7 comparable runs) means this position is intermittent, not structural.
