Why it is different
Why translated pages do not rank in Persian
Persian search has its own habits. People mix formal and colloquial forms, use English words in Latin or Persian script, and often type Arabic letters (ي، ك) instead of Persian ones (ی، ک). A page that only uses one spelling misses a large part of the demand.
The competition is local too. In most categories the first page belongs to Iranian marketplaces, publishers and brands with years of Persian content and links. Winning there takes the same local knowledge they have.
Technical details matter as well: right-to-left layout, the Persian zero-width non-joiner in words, Persian digits, page speed for users on Iranian networks and structured data in Persian.

FAQ
Questions we hear most
Can my existing English site rank in Iran?
Rarely. Iranians search in Persian, so you need Persian pages written for that market. We usually add a Persian section to your existing site with proper hreflang, so both versions keep their own rankings.
Should Persian URLs be in Persian or English?
Both can work. English slugs are cleaner to share; Persian slugs can match the query exactly. We decide per site, then keep it consistent.
Do you translate our existing content?
We adapt rather than translate. Product names and facts stay accurate, but examples, structure and keywords are rebuilt for Persian readers.
Is Google used in Iran?
Yes. Google is the main search engine in Iran and the main source of organic traffic for Iranian websites.
