• Kruidvat.nl has newly entered the top 5 in fifth place.

How was the market analysed?

Google organic in October

Here you can see the 25 websites that have the strongest presence in this industry based on the organic results in Google on 13-10-2025. Only the top 20 results per search term were used to provide the most accurate picture possible and to map the parties actively working to become visible within this keyword theme.

The ideal position is shown in the top right of the graph: this means that your website ranks in the top 20 for many search terms and has achieved a strong average position.

Google organic in January

This is the SEO market 3 months later compared with the initial measurement. By analysing the situation in January, you can see the medium-term SEO trend within your industry. Consider emerging parties that are steadily gaining more market share or established names that have an even stronger position in the market.

More importantly, you can of course also see how your organic presence and average position have developed compared with your competitors.

To make comparison easier and provide you with a clear overview, a percentage graph has also been added. This allows you to see at a glance how the positions of different parties in your industry have shifted. Whether it concerns the growth of new players, the consolidation of established names or a decline, the graph clearly shows the trend for each website.

Changes in the organic market in 3 months

Here too, the top right is the most favourable: the number of search terms in the top 20 has increased with a better average position. The bottom left is the least favourable, because there you have fewer search terms in the top 20 as well as a worse position.

In this graph, a positive percentage change in position means that your rankings have improved. Put simply: if you rise from position 2 to position 1 that means an improvement of +50%.

Looking at the period (13-10-2025 and 13-01-2026) these are our findings:

Ad presence

Alongside the analysis of the organic Google search results, the associated paid text ads were also examined. As you know, the first organic position in Google is the highest position achievable, but that does not (unfortunately) necessarily mean that your website is immediately visible to the searcher.

For that reason, it is interesting to look at which parties are also actively using SEA for the same search terms over the entire 3 months period. This gives you an even more concrete picture of your visibility in Google for the erotics industry and allows you to see even more clearly who your biggest competitors are.

This is the top 5 advertisers over the period 13-10-2025 to 13-01-2026:
