The way people search for and offer services in the Middle East is about to change. A new player is entering the region’s digital economy — ServiceOrca.com, a global AI-powered service marketplace, is officially launching its platform in the Middle East in Q3 2025, with its first focus markets being the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and other GCC nations.
ServiceOrca’s entry is timely. As the Middle East undergoes rapid digital transformation, especially in sectors like real estate, healthcare, home improvement, and consulting, both individuals and businesses are demanding faster, easier, and more transparent ways to connect with trusted service providers. Yet, many still rely on fragmented solutions — from classified ad sites to social media groups — where quality, availability, and reliability remain uncertain.
ServiceOrca.com is here to solve that.
A New Approach to the Service Economy
Founded by serial entrepreneur Rafayel Tobelyan, ServiceOrca was built with one mission in mind: to modernize the global service economy by providing a structured, AI-enhanced, and commission-free platform that brings service providers and customers together.
“We looked at platforms like Yelp, Thumbtack, and Angi and realized there’s still no global solution that truly respects both sides of the service equation,” said Tobelyan. “Most of them take a large cut, push ads, and don’t offer category-specific tools. We built ServiceOrca to fix this — and the Middle East is one of our most strategic focus regions.”
Unlike many platforms that profit from lead generation or charge per click, ServiceOrca does not take any commissions. Listings are free forever, and the platform is designed to provide long-term value to professionals and businesses without hidden costs.
How It Works
ServiceOrca is built on three key pillars: structure, trust, and visibility.
1. Structured Category System
With over 500 carefully organized categories, the platform covers everything from household services like air conditioning repair and pest control to professional services such as accounting, legal consultation, education, fitness, and web development.
Each service is tagged with detailed attributes like availability, pricing, location, and specialties — helping users make informed decisions quickly. For instance, instead of simply searching for “plumber,” users can filter by 24/7 availability, emergency services, type of plumbing task, and even languages spoken.
2. Trust Through Transparency
ServiceOrca displays reviews per service, not just per provider. This means a company offering five different services will have separate ratings for each, ensuring transparency and helping users assess the quality of each offering independently.
All service providers undergo a verification process, and verified profiles are prominently marked to ensure clients receive high-quality services.
3. SEO-Optimized Public Profiles
Each service listing has its own search engine–friendly page, helping providers rank on Google organically. ServiceOrca also leverages AI-powered ranking algorithms that ensure quality and relevance drive visibility, not paid promotions.
Why the Middle East?
The decision to launch in the Middle East comes as no surprise. According to recent reports, the GCC’s service economy is expected to reach over $600 billion by 2027, driven by population growth, digital adoption, and economic diversification initiatives such as Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and the UAE’s digital government strategies.
Yet, despite this growth, service discovery remains highly unstructured.
“In the United Arab Emirates, people still post in WhatsApp groups to find a handyman or dog walker. In Saudi, small businesses struggle with visibility online. We’re here to change that,” says Tobelyan. “We want to make discovering quality services as easy as booking a ride.”
ServiceOrca’s roadmap includes Arabic language support, region-specific filters, and localized customer service, ensuring the platform feels native to each GCC market.

The platform supports:
-

By not acting as a middleman, ServiceOrca ensures direct communication between clients and providers, making the platform ideal for building long-term financial relationships.
Looking Ahead: Global Rollout, Local Relevance
While ServiceOrca has global ambitions — with expansion planned across North America, Europe, and Asia — the company is strongly focused on building deep roots in the Middle East. The team is actively engaging with regional partners, chambers of commerce, and digital incubators to support local professionals and SMEs.
“We don’t just want to launch here. We want to grow with the region,” Tobelyan notes. “Our vision is to become the first name that comes to mind when someone needs a reliable service — whether in Dubai, Riyadh, Doha, or beyond.”
Final Thoughts
The Middle East is rapidly evolving, and with that evolution comes the need for smarter, more efficient platforms that bridge the gap between talent and need. ServiceOrca is more than just another marketplace — it’s a movement toward greater transparency, accessibility, and fairness in the global services sector.
As the platform prepares for its Q3 2025 Middle East launch, now is the time for forward-thinking service providers to get on board.
