The buyer is usually a brand or a founder with an idea or a drawing but no manufacturing partner; they search in sentences that state the intent, like "get my own product made" or "ODM manufacturer". Search behaviour is therefore narrative rather than technical, and the first contact opens with "can you make this". The trust threshold is high; an NDA and an example of similar work already done are what decide it.
Most competitors never set the digital side up at all: wrong phone number, opening hours nobody has edited, reviews left unanswered for years. What creates separation here is not a clever idea but doing the basics properly. A business that keeps its profile accurate, adds real photos and answers every review tends to reach the top of the list within a few months.

Local service businesses have no marketplace sales, so the model is a fixed management fee plus a share of monthly net sales. The fixed part runs 200–800 $ depending on starting investment, and the share runs %%4–%%11 of sales; in low-margin categories both rates are halved. Entry requires a minimum 15,000 $ starting investment and proof of capital.

In Central Anatolia much of the buying is institutional: public bodies and tenders in Ankara, manufacturers in Konya and Kayseri. Deals move through quotes rather than carts, and buyers call instead of filling in a form, so a phone number visible on every page moves conversion more than any layout change.
