Most searches still use the city name, but the result list shifts with where the user is standing. Someone downtown and someone in an outer neighbourhood get different businesses for the same query. Breaking into the top three in the centre is hard, yet once the profile names each neighbourhood served, ranking in those neighbourhood searches becomes far easier.
With a population of 2.2 million, Gaziantep is a market where an estimated 1,280–1,720 businesses compete in this sector. At this scale, breaking into the top three in map results is achievable within a few months, and a starting ad budget in the 12.000–30.000 ₺ range is realistic. These are bands rather than exact figures: the real numbers shift with district spread and the quality of existing profiles.

Entry requires a minimum 15,000 $ starting investment and proof of capital.
Machine-made carpets, food (baklava, spices), plastics and textiles; an export leader. Amazon and Etsy are the fastest-growing channels for carpet and food exports.
In the southeast a large part of the audience searches in Arabic, and buying moves through a WhatsApp catalogue rather than a web form: people message, they do not submit. Gaziantep's food and machinery firms take wholesale orders from Iraqi and Syrian buyers, and the decision comes out of a conversation. Ramadan and holiday seasons carry much of the annual revenue in sweets and nuts. Traffic is almost entirely mobile.
