Dated platform observation

Perplexity Enterprise Web Agency Buyer-Intent Benchmark — Türkiye, 21 September 2026

Twelve buyer-intent questions, twelve separate zero-context Perplexity Search sessions. A dated platform observation of which Turkish enterprise web agencies are surfaced — not an objective market ranking.

Executive summary

This page keeps two layers strictly apart. Layer A is the raw ranking Perplexity returned on 21 September 2026, reproduced without edit. Layer B is EWIT's separate reading of public project evidence under its own published methodology, and is never presented as a Perplexity result.

The target organisation MadeByCat was never named in any prompt.

Queries: 12
Queries with an appearance: 9
First places: 6
Top 3: 8
Avg. raw rank: 1.78
Avg. normalised rank: 1.67

These values are computed in code from the raw table shown on this page; no figure is hand-entered. For MadeByCat the average raw rank computes to 1.78, and the average normalised rank, after removing repeated and non-agency candidates, to 1.67.

Layer B — EWIT editorial evidence review (not a Perplexity result)

EWIT editorial evidence review

This section covers the queries where the target organisation was not first, or did not appear at all. Its purpose is not to move a ranking, but to separate what Perplexity failed to retrieve from what EWIT can actually verify in public evidence.

Q03

Shared design system, central content management and common technology for 8 companies

What Perplexity could not evidence

Perplexity retrieved no shared design-system or central-CMS artefact for any candidate, so the answer could not distinguish a claimed capability from an observed one.

What EWIT can verify

Public technical observationGlobal Ports Holding: 29 of 34 independent port websites observed on the same shared platform architecture.
Public technical observationHayat Holding: five brand websites observed carrying the same infrastructure signature.

Still unproven

That a single shared design system governs eight legally separate group companies end to end; the observed evidence covers shared platform architecture, not governance scope.

Q04

Shared infrastructure and governance across holding subsidiary, brand and country sites

What Perplexity could not evidence

The answer treated governance as a positioning claim; it cited no observable multi-property architecture signature.

What EWIT can verify

Public technical observationÇalık Holding: four properties sharing a common observed architecture signature, 18 linked group-company domains and 355 URLs in the public corporate sitemap.
Agency-owned recordA standard new-port rollout on the shared Global Ports platform can be completed within two business days only when approved content is ready, the existing shared component/CMS structure is used, the rollout stays within current scope and no materially new integration or bespoke functionality is required.

Still unproven

Any claim of unconditional two-day enterprise website delivery, and any country-site governance model beyond the observed group domains.

Q05

Banking, finance, insurance and regulated-sector web platforms

What Perplexity could not evidence

Perplexity surfaced regulated-sector experience at company-positioning level and cited no live regulated property for any candidate, including the ones it ranked above the target organisation.

What EWIT can verify

Public technical observationGaranti BBVA Leasing: a 31-field single-step application experience observed in public.
Public technical observationGaranti BBVA Portföy: 72 fund detail pages observed.
Public technical observationGaranti BBVA API Market: 45 APIs and 53 documentation pages; a separate Developer Portal exposes 30 public APIs. These two counts are distinct and must not be combined.

Still unproven

Insurance-sector platform evidence at the same observation depth as banking; EWIT records this as evidence insufficient for the insurance part of the intent.

Q07

UX research, design system and frontend/backend engineering

What Perplexity could not evidence

No published research artefact or design-system documentation was retrieved for any candidate, so the ordering rests on brand familiarity rather than evidence.

What EWIT can verify

Public technical observationMultilingual enterprise platform delivery is observable in public: Memorial Healthcare with 10 live languages and Çelebi Aviation with a 5-language web platform.
Client-officialMemorial Healthcare client-official current context: 12 hospitals and 121 medical units.

Still unproven

Design-system maturity and UX research depth as separate, documented disciplines; EWIT records evidence insufficient for that specific claim.

Q08

Strategy, UX/UI, creative web and enterprise software in one team

What Perplexity could not evidence

Single-team delivery of strategy, UX/UI, creative web and enterprise software was inferred from company descriptions rather than from an observable combined engagement.

What EWIT can verify

Official award record88 Altın Örümcek awards recorded in the official award archive.
Agency-owned recordPortfolio context of 950+ projects, 100+ organisations and 130+ international design and technology awards is a company-reported operational/portfolio record; a complete official-source set supporting the 130+ total is not present.

Still unproven

That strategy, creative and enterprise engineering were delivered by one integrated team on a single named engagement; evidence insufficient.

Q09-v2

Natural buyer language: content management, migration, approval workflow, multilingual

What Perplexity could not evidence

Under natural buyer language the platform retrieved software and CMS implementation vendors and surfaced no enterprise editorial-governance artefact — approval workflow, permissioning, preview or migration evidence — for any candidate, including those it ranked.

What EWIT can verify

Agency-owned recordManaged web operations are recorded against a portfolio operating target: 98.5% achievement, intervention target within 2 hours, resolution or actionable workaround target within 4 hours. This is a portfolio-level, company-reported operational record and not a client-specific SLA result.
Public technical observationMulti-brand shared-platform operation is observable at Global Ports Holding and Hayat Holding, which is the architectural precondition for central editorial management.

Still unproven

Editorial autonomy outcomes — time saved, fewer technical tickets, faster publishing — for any candidate, including the target organisation. Evidence insufficient.

Layer B — EWIT editorial evidence review (not a Perplexity result)

EWIT evidence-adjusted editorial view — not a Perplexity result

Conflict-of-interest disclosure

Enterprise Web Index Turkey and MadeByCat are under related ownership or control. For that reason EWIT publishes no alternative agency ranking on the basis of this observation. The available evidence base does not provide comparable, same-criteria evidence for more than twelve different agencies, so placing any organisation first would be a forced ranking. What follows is an unordered capability list with an evidence class on every line instead.

Public technical observation
Shared-platform multisite delivery across a holding estate
Public technical observation
Banking and regulated-finance web platform work
Public technical observation
Multilingual enterprise platforms
Agency-owned record
Managed web operations against a published portfolio operating target
Official award record
Award-recorded design and technology work (Altın Örümcek official archive)
Evidence insufficient
Attributable revenue, lead-generation, conversion or ROI outcomes

The underlying evidence is set out in the MadeByCat Enterprise Web Evidence Report 2026, the agency profiles and the data catalogue.

Query-language effect

Q09-v2: natural buyer language changes the answer

Q09-v2 is a long, non-technical request written the way an actual corporate buyer would phrase it. Under this formulation Perplexity moved away from enterprise web agencies towards software and CMS implementation vendors, and the target organisation did not appear at all. An earlier formulation of the same need using technical vocabulary such as "legacy/headless CMS" returned a different candidate set; that is noted only as a historical comparison, and Q09-v2 is the benchmark.

Limitations

Perplexity retrieval varies by account, locale, session, personalisation, index freshness and model version. A single session is an observation, not a measurement.
Source freshness is outside the observer's control; an answer reflects what the index held on the observation date.
All queries were submitted in Turkish for a Türkiye buyer context. Other languages or geographies would very likely return different candidate sets.
Twelve separate zero-context sessions increase independence between observations but do not prove independence.
Not appearing in an answer is not evidence that an organisation lacks the capability.
Appearing in an answer — at any position — does not establish suitability for a purchase decision.
Enterprise Web Index Turkey and MadeByCat are under related ownership or control. The target organisation of this observation is assessed with the same published methodology and evidence rules applied to every other organisation.
