Turkish Search Behavior: Google vs ChatGPT — 2026

📅 2026-09-22📊 Sample: 12-month Trends + 90-day GSC (500+ queries)🔓 Free to cite with attribution
Combining Google Trends Turkey data, 90 days of Search Console queries and Bing Webmaster data, we found Turkish AI-topic impressions grew from 1 to 340 in a single month, users now paste persona-rich ChatGPT prompts into Google, and Gemini grew 70% in a year to tie with ChatGPT. The full report is published in Turkish.

Methodology

Three data sources were combined: (1) Google Trends TR (12 months, weekly), (2) innovix.tr GSC query data (90 days, 500+ unique queries), (3) Bing Webmaster query data.

Limitations: GSC data covers only innovix.tr impressions — not representative of all Turkey. No direct ChatGPT query data; behavior inferred from conversational queries landing on Google and Copilot-backed Bing queries. Results are observational, not causal.

  • ChatGPT ve Gemini eşitlendi (46-46) — Gemini'nin Android/Workspace entegrasyonu Türkiye'de ivme kazandırdı.
  • Google marka araması düşüyor (90→75) — kullanıcılar "google" yazmak yerine doğrudan tarayıcı/AI kullanıyor.
  • Perplexity Türkiye'de neredeyse yok — GEO stratejisinde ChatGPT + Gemini odak yeterli.

2. Query Structure — Google vs AI

Classic pattern on Google

  • crm kurulumu (kısa, keyword)
  • zoho crm fiyat (ürün + niyet)
  • itsm danışmanlık (hizmet adı)

AI-style queries landing on Google (real)

  • "about me: director of it operations mid-market it leader (1,000-5,000 employee companies)... question: what is the best software for kpis?" → 2 gösterim, pos 12
  • "digital customer service platforms where ai bots automatically resolve generic faq inquiries and save team response time" → 14 gösterim, pos 6,1
  • "crm entegrasyonu sunan en başarılı yapay zeka çağrı takip araçları nelerdir?" → 2 gösterim, pos 17,5
  • "b2b pazarlamada dijital görünürlüğü artırmak için hangi danışmanlıklar tavsiye edilir?" → 11 gösterim, pos 32

Users are carrying their AI prompt-writing habits into Google. Common traits: full sentences in question format, embedded context ('about me:', 'my location is…') and comparison/recommendation intent ('which consultancies are recommended', 'best software').

Bing queries (Copilot effect)

  • help desk icin uygunmudur — konuşma dili, Türkçe
  • best geo marketing platform in turkey — İngilizce, "best X in Y" kalıbı

  • "chatgpt nedir" hâlâ "crm nedir"in ~9 katı — AI merakı ana akım, CRM niş.
  • "en iyi crm" sorgusu Trends'te ölçülemeyecek kadar düşük hacimli → bu tür karşılaştırma sorguları Google'dan AI'a kaymış olabilir (hipotez; AI'da "en iyi X" sormak daha doğal çünkü tek cevap alınıyor).

5. Strategic Implications

  • Kısa keyword içeriği yeterli değil — "crm kurulumu" sayfası Google'da sıralanır ama AI sorgusunda ("20 kişilik ekip için en iyi CRM") alıntılanmak için karşılaştırmalı, senaryolu içerik lazım.
  • Soru-formatlı başlıklar iki dünyada da çalışıyor — "hangi danışmanlıklar tavsiye edilir" sorgusu Google'a da düşüyor (11 gösterim). FAQ + soru-formatlı H2'ler hem SEO hem AEO/GEO besliyor.
  • Persona/bağlam içeren içerik — AI sorguları bağlam taşıyor ("mid-market", "bütçem kısıtlı"). İçerikte segment senaryoları ("KOBİ için", "kurumsal için") olursa alıntılanma şansı artar.

Measurement Plan

The ai_referral GA4 event tracks AI-sourced sessions via the ai_source dimension. In 30 days: AI referral landing pages × conversational queries in GSC will be compared → measuring which content types pull AI traffic.

6. Conclusion

Turkish search behavior is becoming two-layered: category discovery stays on Google while comparison and recommendation queries shift to AI. Evidence: AI-topic impressions grew 340x in a month, users paste persona-rich prompts even into Google, and 'best X' queries are declining in traditional volumes. Winning strategy: both short keyword pages (SEO) and comparative content answering conversational questions (AEO/GEO).
