# Research

Open-data research and case studies. Every figure has a date and a source, and the method is written out so anyone can repeat it.

## Open-data research

Measurements across many sites, with the sample and the date.

1. Report 29 October 2026
   ### [Three tools scored the same 10 sites: why the scores disagree](https://ruesandora.com/writing/three-tools-same-10-sites)
   Three GEO audit tools measured the same 10 sites and their rankings agreed anywhere from 0.19 to 0.70. Causes: scope, scale, bot access gates. Small sample.
2. Report 29 October 2026
   ### [We tested our own brand with 30 questions: 0/15 on category queries](https://ruesandora.com/writing/we-measured-our-own-brand)
   We asked ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity 30 questions. On category queries our brand appeared in 0 of 15 answers. Asked by name, it varied a lot by engine.
3. Report 29 October 2026
   ### [Why 11 of 30 sites could not be measured: firewalls and scanners](https://ruesandora.com/writing/why-11-sites-were-unmeasurable)
   11 of 30 Turkish sites could not be measured in the first round and 7 answered the scanner with 403. What unmeasured means and how to test your site.
4. Report 20 October 2026
   ### [Are Turkey's biggest websites ready for AI? We measured 30](https://ruesandora.com/writing/turkey-websites-ai-readiness)
   We checked the homepages of 30 Turkish sites in 8 sectors for AI readiness: 6 block at least one AI bot, 10 have llms.txt, and a stale date is the top issue.

## Case studies

One project, what was done and how it was built.

1. Case study 29 October 2026
   ### [We scanned our own site: 21 signals are open on ruesandora.com](https://ruesandora.com/writing/our-own-site-scan)
   On 18 October 2026 we scanned our own site with Ruescan: score 86, 21 of 188 signals open. Which ones are open, what we fixed in a week, how to read the report.
2. Case study 8 October 2026
   ### [How we built our bilingual EN/TR site: hreflang, redirects, language detection](https://ruesandora.com/writing/bilingual-site-hreflang-redirects)
   English at the root, Turkish under /tr/, 301s in a _redirects file, hreflang with x-default, a narrow language redirect, git-based lastmod and IndexNow.
