Odoo Blog

Publish Arabic and English articles from the same Odoo site that already holds your CRM and store, so every reader can become a subscriber or a lead.

What this module handles

Many Saudi companies keep a WordPress blog on a separate domain from the main site, which splits search authority and leaves subscribers in a plugin database nobody reconciles with CRM. Odoo Blog uses the Website builder's editor, so posts carry the same theme, forms and tracking as every other page, and Naqlah, an Odoo Gold Partner in Saudi Arabia, sets it up for bilingual publishing with SEO fields and lead capture in place.

  • Drag-and-drop article editor using the same building blocks as the rest of your site
  • Arabic and English versions of each post with right-to-left layout and Arabic typography
  • Multiple blogs for news, guides and careers, each with tags and author pages
  • SEO title, description, keywords and social preview image set per post and per language
  • Newsletter sign-up blocks and lead forms placed inside the article body
  • Comments with moderation and share buttons for X, LinkedIn and WhatsApp
  • Draft workflow with scheduled publishing dates and author permissions
  • Visitor, read and engagement statistics in the Website dashboard alongside GA4
Saudi ready

Built for how business runs in Saudi Arabia

Naqlah configures Arabic-first articles with English mirrors on their own URLs, author pages with Arabic names, and FAQ-style blocks that Google AI Overviews and ChatGPT can cite, since clear structure is what Saudi search and AI answers reward. Subscriber consent is recorded in Email Marketing when a reader signs up, so your newsletter list has a lawful basis under PDPL from the first contact. Share buttons are set for the channels Saudi readers actually use, X, Snapchat and WhatsApp, rather than defaults built for other markets.

Bilingual by design
Each post has an Arabic and an English version linked as translations, not two unrelated articles. Right-to-left layout, Arabic fonts and date display are handled by the site theme.

Built for Saudi search
Per-language URLs, meta fields, sitemap entries and FAQ blocks give Google and AI assistants a structure they can index and quote. Schema markup is added through an app or custom code where needed.

Readers become contacts
Sign-ups land in Email Marketing lists and enquiry forms land in CRM, each with the article recorded as source. No plugin database, no CSV exports.

How it connects

How does a blog post turn into a lead in Odoo?

1. Article published in both languages
The writer publishes the Arabic post with its English version, each with SEO title, description and preview image.

2. Reader arrives from search or a share
A buyer finds the guide on Google, in an AI answer, or through a link shared on WhatsApp or X.

3. Reader subscribes or submits a form
A newsletter block or a wholesale enquiry form sits inside the article and records consent as part of the submission.

4. Contact created with the article as source
The subscriber joins an Email Marketing list, or the enquiry becomes a CRM lead, and reports show which articles produce contacts.

Implementation

What Naqlah configures in your implementation

  1. Blogs and tag structure. We create the blogs you need, such as news, guides and careers, with tags and categories agreed with your marketing team.
  2. Bilingual templates and RTL check. Post layouts are tested in Arabic and English, including author pages, dates and share buttons.
  3. SEO fields, sitemap and redirects. Meta fields are enabled per post, sitemap entries confirmed, and 301 redirects mapped from your old WordPress or Medium URLs as part of migration.
  4. Forms mapped to lists and CRM. Newsletter blocks feed Email Marketing lists and enquiry forms feed CRM with consent text in both languages.
  5. Moderation and authors. Comment moderation rules and author profiles with Arabic and English names and bios.
  6. Editor training and checklist. Your writers learn the editor and follow a publishing checklist covering SEO fields, FAQ blocks and translation links.

Timelines depend on the number of blogs, languages and posts to migrate, and Naqlah gives a clear roadmap in the first consultation.

Who it is for

Companies that get the most from this module

  • Odoo Website clients running SEO or GEO programs. Articles live on the same domain as the site, so authority is not split.
  • eCommerce brands on Salla or Odoo. Buying guides and seasonal content for Ramadan and White Friday with product blocks linking to the store.
  • Training institutes and consultancies. Arabic explainers that build topical authority and feed course or service enquiries into CRM.
  • Roasteries and F&B brands. Brewing guides, origin stories and branch news in Arabic with a wholesale enquiry CTA in each article.
  • B2B suppliers and distributors. Product and compliance guides that answer the questions buyers search before requesting a quotation.
