Is ArabData coverage complete for every market?
No. Coverage varies by market, sector, source, and freshness, and ArabData does not use absolute claims such as complete coverage.
Coverage methodology
How ArabData Defines Market, Sector, and Platform Coverage
This page explains how ArabData approaches geographic, sector, niche, and technology-platform coverage and why finding some entities does not mean a market is completely covered.
For anyone who needs to interpret ArabData coverage correctly and compare markets or sectors without assuming complete coverage.

Geography requires evidence
Language or domain extension alone is not always enough to determine a business's country. Available signals should be combined, and confidence reduced when market association is unclear.
Sector and niche are not always one label
A company can operate across multiple activities or sectors. Classification should rely on activity descriptions, products or services, and available evidence.
Technology-platform coverage changes
Detecting Salla, Zid, Shopify, or WooCommerce relies on technical signals that can change after a site update or migration, so freshness matters and a platform signal should not be treated as permanent.
Coverage gaps are part of realistic data
Some businesses or stores may not yet be discovered or may lack enough evidence for acceptance. Absence of evidence should not be converted into a claim that an entity does not exist.
Frequently asked questions
Is store-platform detection permanent?
No. A store can migrate platforms or change its technical stack, so platform should be interpreted as a time- and source-dependent signal.
Does absence from results mean a business does not exist?
No. The cause may be discovery gaps, insufficient evidence, or current coverage limitations.
