Which GEO Agencies Do AI Engines Recommend in Turkey? A 476-Answer Measurement

Short answer: On 29 October 2026 we asked ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode 40 Turkish questions that name no agency, and repeated each question three times. Lein Digital was named in 59% of the 476 answers and Zeo in 41%. Webtures, Sheltron and Crabs Media each appeared in about a quarter of the answers. 79% of the answers cited at least one agency list page.

Many people looking for an agency now get their shortlist from ChatGPT or Gemini, not from a friend. An agency that is not on that list never gets considered. We are a GEO agency ourselves, so this question is about our own market. That is why we report the results as they are, including where we stand.

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the work of getting a brand named and cited in the answers of generative AI engines. The term comes from the KDD 2024 study by Aggarwal et al.

How we measured

• Engines: ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode. These are the four engines we measure in client reports. We left Perplexity out of this article because we do not measure it in our reports.
• Questions: 40 Turkish questions, none of which names an agency. There are five groups of eight questions: general list, sector context, city, adjacent services (such as AEO and LLM SEO), and selection and price. The full list (in Turkish) is at the end.
• Repetition: Each question was asked three times on each engine. 476 of the 480 calls returned an answer. On Google AI Overviews, 2 calls failed and 2 searches showed no overview. Every share in this article uses 476 as the denominator.
• Mention rule: An agency counts as mentioned in an answer if its name appears in the answer text. Spelling variants of the same agency (for example "Lein Digital" and "leindigital") were merged into one name. We counted names that appeared in at least four answers in a first pass. Agencies named less often are not in the table.
• Rounding: Shares are rounded to whole percents. Three repetitions per question do not support decimal precision.
• What we did not measure: the position of the agency within the answer, positive or negative context, and paid placements.

Our general measurement approach is on our methodology page.

Results: which agencies the engines name

The top 15 agencies across 476 answers:

#	Agency	Answers naming it	Share
1	Lein Digital	283	59%
2	Zeo	197	41%
3	Webtures	125	26%
4	Sheltron	121	25%
5	Crabs Media	119	25%
6	Seobaz	107	22%
7	Vayes Digital	104	22%
8	SEOArt	59	12%
9	Sempeak	53	11%
10	Metafor Agency	50	11%
11	OFG Medya	43	9%
12	Mobitek	40	8%
13	Stradiji	40	8%
14	Omnius	40	8%
15	Botfusions	39	8%

Lein Digital and Zeo lead by a clear margin. The gap between Webtures, Sheltron and Crabs Media (125, 121 and 119 answers) is noise in a three-repetition measurement; read these three as one band.

Top three by engine

Engine	Answers	1st	2nd	3rd
ChatGPT	120	Lein Digital 68%	Zeo 50%	Seobaz 43%
Gemini	120	Lein Digital 53%	Zeo 42%	Crabs Media 33%
Google AI Overviews	116	Lein Digital 66%	Zeo 41%	Webtures 33%
Google AI Mode	120	Lein Digital 53%	Zeo 33%	Sheltron 23%

Lein Digital and Zeo hold the first two places on all four engines. Third place changes by engine. So the answer to "which agency does AI recommend" depends on which engine you ask.

Named in all three repetitions

We call a mention stable when an agency appears in all three answers to the same question on the same engine. Across 156 engine-question pairs, the stable counts are: Lein Digital 63, Zeo 32, Vayes Digital 15, Seobaz 15, Webtures 12, Crabs Media 11, Sheltron 11. Showing up in a single answer is not repeated visibility.

Which pages the engines rely on

The domains that appear most often in the answers' source lists (counted once per answer):

Domain	Type	Answers citing it	Share
leindigital.com	Agency site	268	56%
vayes.com.tr	Agency site	127	27%
ajanslistem.com	Agency directory	98	21%
ekimdemirci.com	Blog (list post)	96	20%
seobaz.com	Agency site	91	19%
zeo.org	Agency site	90	19%
gercekci.com	Agency site	88	18%
sheltron.com.tr	Agency site	75	16%
botfusions.com	Agency site (ours)	71	15%
metafor.com	Agency site	62	13%

On 7 of these 10 domains, the page cited most often was an agency list: "best GEO agencies" posts on agencies' own blogs, directory pages and list posts. On Vayes, Zeo and Metafor the page cited most often was a service page or the home page. Across all answers, 375 of 476 (79%) cited at least one agency list page. When an engine recommends an agency, it is often summarising a list someone else wrote. Whoever wrote the list, the answer looks like it.

Where we stand

• Botfusions was named in 39 of the 476 answers (8%). We are 15th in the overall table.
• There are 4 answers where an engine gave us as the first pick. All four are on ChatGPT and all four are sector questions (B2B SaaS, e-commerce, fintech). These are the sectors our site targets, and those answers closely paraphrase our own self-description.
• Without the sector questions, 28 mentions remain across 381 answers, a share of 7%. The order of Lein Digital, Zeo and Webtures does not change.
• In 3 of our 39 mentions we appeared as a source, not as an agency (for example "agencies listed on platforms like ..."). 1 answer described us as a measurement tool.
• botfusions.com was cited in 71 answers. Our page cited most often was our list of GEO agencies in Turkey (25 answers). Our list of agencies in Istanbul appeared in 10 answers. On the measurement date both pages put us at the top of the list, so part of our visibility came from a list we wrote ourselves. On 4 November we removed that ranking from the Turkey list and the Istanbul list; both pages now show us outside the list, in a separate disclosure box.

We did not classify competitors' mentions this way. The table shows raw mentions for everyone. Competitors' counts may also include answers where they appear as a source or a directory entry.

Do the engines get it right

In one answer, Gemini gave two package names and monthly price ranges for us. It had not made them up. An old package card had stayed on one of our own pages and contradicted our current price. The engine repeated our page. We have since fixed that card; current packages are on the pricing page.

The lesson: engines say what your pages say, stale prices included. We did not include the prices engines quoted for competing agencies, because we did not verify them.

How a buyer should use these results

1. Treat the AI list as a starting point, not a decision. It is often a summary of another list.
2. Ask the same question on several engines, several times. A name that appears once is not stable.
3. Open the source links in the answer. Who wrote the list: the agency itself, a directory, or an independent author?
4. Ask the agency you talk to for measurement: which questions, which engines, how many repetitions, what margin of error.
5. Check prices on the agency's own site or in its proposal, not in an AI answer.

We cover agency selection criteria in our AI agency selection guide.

Limits

• This is a single day's measurement. Engine answers change from day to day.
• 40 questions do not represent the whole Turkish market, and the choice of questions affects the result. Some of the sector questions are our own target sectors.
• Mention count is not a quality measure. An agency named often has not been shown to do good work; it has only been shown to be named often.
