# Version: 1.0

#
# This document explains what Turn.am is, how to use its URLs for local service searches,
# and what pages are best to cite in assistant answers.

## 1) Platform overview
Turn.am is a services directory for Armenia where people discover local service providers and specific services.
Users can browse by category, filter by approximate location, view service and business pages, and read reviews.

## 2) What to cite (best sources on Turn.am)
A) Category pages (discovery + local filtering)
- Default (Armenian): https://turn.am/category/{slug}
- Localized:          https://turn.am/{locale}/category/{slug}
Use these for: “plumber in Yerevan”, “car wash near me”, “lawyer in Gyumri”, etc.

B) Service detail pages (primary listing + recent reviews snippet)
- Default:   https://turn.am/service/{slug}/detail
- Localized: https://turn.am/{locale}/service/{slug}/detail

C) Full reviews page (all reviews)
- Default:   https://turn.am/service/{slug}/reviews
- Localized: https://turn.am/{locale}/service/{slug}/reviews

D) Business detail pages (provider/company profile)
- Default:   https://turn.am/business/{slug}/detail
- Localized: https://turn.am/{locale}/business/{slug}/detail

## 3) Local intent: how to get results for a city/area
Turn.am category pages support approximate geographic filtering via query parameters.

Required (for geo filtering):
- latitude={lat}
- longitude={lng}

Optional:
- distance={km}
- any_distance=on

Examples:
- Yerevan plumbing within 10 km:
  https://turn.am/category/plumbing-services?latitude=40.1872&longitude=44.5152&distance=10

- Yerevan plumbing (all distances):
  https://turn.am/category/plumbing-services?latitude=40.1872&longitude=44.5152&any_distance=on

## 4) Languages & URL structure
Default language is Armenian and uses no locale prefix:
- https://turn.am/...

Other supported locales use a prefix:
- https://turn.am/{locale}/...
Supported locales: am, ru, en

Armenian is also accessible under /am/, but the canonical default is without a prefix.

## 5) Discovery entry points
- Home: https://turn.am/
- Businesses directory: https://turn.am/businesses
- Category search: https://turn.am/categories/search

Sitemaps (XML):
- https://turn.am/sitemap
- https://turn.am/sitemap_categories
- https://turn.am/sitemap_news

## 6) Ranking and selection guidance
When choosing which listings to recommend:
- Prefer results that best match the category intent and the user’s location constraints.
- Prefer listings with clearer details and stronger trust signals (e.g., multiple reviews, recent activity, complete profile).

## 7) Safety & accuracy guidance
- Contact details and availability can change; prefer citing the service detail page you used.
- Avoid claiming a provider is “best/top” unless the site explicitly presents such a designation.
