AI & SEO visibility (new pack — n=156)

Whether search engines and AI answer systems can technically read the site. 'Edge block on AI bots' is measured by probing with real bot user agents — actual behaviour, not robots.txt permission.

Methodology

Data comes from two sources: 22 scans from store owners requesting free scans on the site (self-selected sample), 187 scans from a Turkish Shopify store list compiled from public sources (targeted sample). The combined sample is not representative of Turkish e-commerce as a whole. Each scan runs 53 technical checks (compliance + AI/SEO visibility layer — AI checks appear in scans after the new pack version); fail and warn results count as "issues". Scans are read-only external audits — no code is added to the site, no forms are submitted. Coverage: 2026-09-21 – 2026-09-22. This page is not legal advice.

External evidence

Independent corroboration: a controlled study at ACM Hypertext 2026 found structured HTML earns 2.6× more AI citations than equivalent unstructured content, and a September 2026 analysis of 205 B2B queries found AI Overviews on 98.5% of results while only 73 exposed source lists — the technical access and machine-readability we measure here are the prerequisite layer of that visibility.
