Get Recommended by AI Assistants to Customers in Sudan

What it takes to be recommended

AI assistants recommend businesses they can identify clearly and confirm through several sources. For companies serving Sudan, that means publishing accurate, up-to-date information in Arabic and English, keeping details consistent everywhere, and being mentioned on sites that assistants already read. Because conditions can change quickly, keeping your information current is especially important.

Arabic and English

Arabic and English are Sudan’s official languages. Most local customers will ask AI assistants their questions in Arabic, while international organisations, partners and some professionals will use English. Publish your main pages in both, use natural Sudanese Arabic terms where customers would use them, and track prompts in each language because answers can differ.

Main hubs and sectors

Historically, much commercial activity has been centred in the Khartoum area, including Omdurman and Khartoum North, while Port Sudan on the Red Sea is the main seaport. Other cities such as Kassala, El Obeid and Wad Madani serve their regions. Key sectors include agriculture (such as gum arabic, sesame and cotton), livestock, gold mining, trade, logistics and humanitarian services. A shipping agent in Port Sudan and a medical supplier working with aid organisations will face very different prompts.

Sources AI assistants are likely to use

• Google Search and Google Business Profile, which most people use to find businesses online.
• Business directories and supplier registers used by international organisations.
• Arabic and English news sites covering Sudan and the wider region.
• Chambers of commerce, trade and professional associations.
• Social media pages and reviews where your customers leave feedback.

Practical steps

• Use the same business name in Arabic and English everywhere, with one agreed transliteration.
• Write phone numbers with the +249 country code and keep WhatsApp or other contact channels up to date.
• State clearly which areas you currently serve and how customers can reach you, and update this whenever it changes.
• Be explicit about pricing and payment, including whether you quote in Sudanese pounds or US dollars.
• If you serve buyers from neighbouring Egypt, Ethiopia, Chad, South Sudan or Saudi Arabia across the Red Sea, explain cross-border delivery and documents.
• Note changes in hours during Ramadan and Eid.

Help the diaspora find you

Many Sudanese abroad look for services for their families at home, such as transfers, deliveries or medical supplies. Pages that answer questions like “How can I pay for an order from outside Sudan?” make it easier for assistants to recommend you.
