What Is tkapi.com? What It Offers Companies

tkapi is short for "Ticaret Kapısı" — Turkish for "Trade Gate." The idea behind it is simple: build a directory of companies and products that's actually worth trusting, at a time when the words "directory" and "listing site" have a fairly bad reputation, earned from decades of link farms, click-bait, and pages stuffed with ads.

At its core, tkapi.com is a curated catalog. Companies and the products they build each get their own page — a company profile lists what the business does, its category, location, founding year, contact details, and the products it makes; a product page lists pricing, platforms, languages, key features, and use cases. Every submission is reviewed by hand before it goes live, so what visitors and search engines find is a directory of real, verified businesses rather than an open list anyone can spam.

For a company, what tkapi actually provides comes down to five concrete things.

The first is a free profile page. Building even a simple landing page costs real time and money — a domain, hosting, design, copywriting. A tkapi profile gives a company a clean, fast page with its logo, up to five gallery images, a description, contact information, and a list of its products, at no cost, live within days of approval rather than weeks.

The second is SEO value through a dofollow link. Product and company pages on tkapi link back to the company's own website with a dofollow link — a link search engines count as a genuine endorsement, not a nofollow link that carries no weight. Because every listing goes through manual review first, these links come from a page search engines can trust, not from a spam farm, which is exactly the difference a link needs to make in order to actually help a site's own search rankings over time.

The third is category and on-site search visibility. Every company is placed in a relevant category and shows up in tkapi's own search, so a potential customer looking for, say, an accounting firm or a SaaS tool in a specific niche can find a listed business by browsing or searching rather than needing to already know its name.

The fourth is bilingual reach at no extra cost. tkapi.com serves both a Turkish and an English version of every page — Turkish under a /tr/ prefix, English at the unprefixed root — so a company profile that fills in its English fields is discoverable by an international audience without maintaining a second site.

The fifth is the credibility that comes from manual review itself. Every application is checked by a real person before publication, and low-quality or clearly fake submissions are rejected. That keeps the overall directory clean, which in turn means a company's own profile sits in better company, quite literally — a listing next to spam is worth less than one next to other verified, real businesses.

Applying takes three steps. First, fill out the registration form with the company's name, one-line tagline, description, category, and contact details, plus a logo and up to five gallery images if available — an account is created automatically the first time someone submits. Second, the tkapi team reviews the application, typically within three to five business days. Third, once approved, the profile goes live at tkapi.com/{company-slug}, and any products the company adds afterward can be listed under it the same way.

Any real business can apply — from a solo consultant or a local shop to an established software company or a full-scale manufacturer. The bar is straightforward: be a real, operating business, provide accurate and current contact information, and fit into an appropriate category.

If you run a company or make a product and want it listed on tkapi.com, the application form is the place to start.
