Local help you can trust, with money that waits for the work
Sosomak connects foreign visitors with verified people and companies in Türkiye. You describe what you need, compare clear offers, and agree directly with the provider you choose.
The process, step by step
Apply once
Create an account, choose your services from the Sosomak catalogue, and upload verification documents. We check them within 2 working days.
Receive requests
Requests that match your services, cities and languages appear in your dashboard. You can also be invited by the Sosomak team.
Ask, then offer
Ask the customer questions in chat, then send an offer. Revise it if they ask for changes, or send a custom offer in chat to a customer you already work with.
Agree and deliver
When the customer accepts, you agree on payment directly, as written in your offer, and deliver the service.
Build your reputation
Customers review you after the service, and your verified profile helps the next visitor choose you.
Why visitors use Sosomak
Filter by the language you need. Every profile shows each language and how well the provider speaks it.
Profiles show the exact checks completed: identity, business registration, guide card, transport authorisation or insurance.
Every offer lists inclusions, exclusions, price breakdown, taxes, extra costs and cancellation terms in the same order.
Need a shopping expert, a negotiator and shipping? One request can go to several providers, and you see what each offer covers.
Shopping experts and representatives must tell you who pays them and any commission from shops.
When you don’t know what to ask for, our team reads your request and finds the right people.
Why providers join Sosomak
Reach visitors before and during their trip. They arrive with dates, a city and a budget.
Set your pricing basis, minimum booking, travel charges and cancellation terms in each offer.
Create your profile, choose your services from the catalogue and start receiving requests once your checks are done.
When a visitor doesn’t know what to ask for, our team invites suitable providers directly.
Verification badges and reviews show visitors that you are a real, checked professional.
Freelance interpreters and guides can sell alongside agencies and transport companies.
The rules everyone follows
A badge names the check that was done, such as “Tourist guide credential checked”. It describes a check, not a blanket guarantee.
Transport, guiding and professional services are offered only by providers with the right authorisation.
Representatives, negotiators and shopping experts state who pays them and any referral commission.
Administrative help is described separately from legal, tax or investment advice, and never promises an approval.
Identity documents, tax documents, bank details and home addresses are never shown publicly. Exact addresses are shared only after booking.
Agreements written in Sosomak messages are what we review if there is a dispute.
Common questions.
Is it free to browse services and providers?
Yes. Browsing services, purposes of visit and provider profiles is free, and so is creating an account and requesting offers.
How do I pay for a service?
At launch, you pay the provider directly, in the way described in the offer you accept. Sosomak does not handle or hold the payment yet, so it cannot refund it. Protected payments through Sosomak are coming soon.
Can customers and providers contact each other directly?
Yes. You can message any provider through Sosomak before booking, and providers can ask you for missing details before sending an offer. We recommend keeping agreements in Sosomak messages, so there is a clear record.
Do I need an account to look around?
No. Without an account you can browse all services, provider profiles, listings and prices. To request offers, message providers or send a request to our team, you need a free account. It takes one minute to create.
Is there a fixed price, or do I always get offers?
Many listings show a starting price, but the final price is in the provider’s offer, based on your dates, location, number of people and needs. Some services are priced only by quotation.
What if I don’t know which service I need?
Use Help me find a service. Describe your plans in your own words. Our team assigns the right services and invites suitable providers to send you offers.
Can one request cover several services?
Yes. Each offer shows whether it covers your entire request or only part of it, and lists what is not covered, so you can combine offers from different providers.
Is there a minimum booking amount?
Sosomak has no platform minimum. Each provider can set a minimum booking, such as 4 hours or one day, and it is shown on their profile and in every offer.
What language is the site in?
The site is in English at launch, with more languages to follow. You can filter providers by the language you need during the service.
Who can become a provider?
Individual professionals and registered companies based in Türkiye. Some services need a licence or credential, which we check before your profile goes live.
How long does provider verification take?
Usually within 2 working days after you upload your documents.
