Media monitoring in the UAE and GCC, in English and Arabic.
Find every online pick-up of your press release across the UAE, Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC, with a link and a screenshot for each one, and see how AI assistants talk about it. One clear report your client or management can open on any device.
Counts from our media outlet database, which lists 76,000+ outlets in 224 countries.
Why monitoring in the region is different
A press release distributed in the Gulf rarely lands in one place. The same news appears on English business portals, Arabic news sites, regional trade publications and syndicated newswire feeds, often under a translated headline. Generic monitoring tools built for the US or Europe tend to miss the Arabic versions and count the syndicated copies as separate stories.
Clipping Report was built for exactly this mix. It looks for the English and Arabic versions of a release, follows each distribution circuit's own list of outlets country by country, and keeps the original release, its language versions and its pick-ups together in one report.
How it works
- You send the release. The headline, the newswire link if there is one, and the countries or circuit it was distributed to.
- We search two ways at once. Our team searches the open web the way readers do, while the AI Searcher checks newswire archives, several search engines and every outlet on the circuit for language versions and syndicated pick-ups.
- Every pick-up gets proof. Each clipping is saved with its link, outlet, country, language and a full-page screenshot, so nothing depends on a link that might change later.
- Your report goes live. An interactive, password-protected report with a coverage map, breakdowns and every clipping, plus PDF, Word and Excel versions. It is updated as more coverage appears.
What the report shows
- Where the release landed: countries, regions, languages and media types, on a map and in charts
- Every clipping with its outlet, link and screenshot, as a table or a gallery
- The original release in each language it was distributed in
- Reach and media value estimates, with the method spelled out
- An AI visibility check: whether ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity mention the company, and whether they cite your coverage
- A short written summary your client can forward as it is
Who uses it
PR and communications agencies in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Riyadh use it to report results to clients without building slides by hand. Newswires and distribution services use it to give every customer proof of distribution, often under their own brand with white-label reports. In-house communications teams use it to show leadership exactly where an announcement was published.
Frequently asked questions
Do you monitor Arabic media?
Yes. Arabic-language outlets are a core part of the outlet database (8,300+ outlets), and the AI Searcher looks for the Arabic version of a release as well as the English one, so Arabic pick-ups appear in the same report.
Which GCC countries are covered?
The United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman, plus the wider Middle East and the rest of the world. The outlet database lists 9,000+ outlets in the GCC alone.
How quickly do I get a report?
The first report is usually ready within a day or two of distribution, and it is updated as more coverage appears. Each update shows what changed since the previous version.
Is this print and broadcast monitoring?
No. Clipping Report covers online media: news sites, portals, trade publications and newswire pick-ups that anyone can open. Every clipping has a link and a screenshot as proof.
