What is the organic presence rate?
The presence rate indicates the percentage of search terms for which your website appears in the top 20 of search results. This provides insight into how well your website ranks in the organic search results.
A weighted average position
The average position is determined using a weighted average. This takes the monthly search volume of the search terms into account. Search terms with a higher search volume carry more weight, making changes in the market visible more quickly and giving you a better picture of the potential impact on your website traffic.
How is ad presence measured?
Ad presence shows how often your website was visible in text advertisements on page 1 or 2 of Google over a period of three months. This percentage indicates how often your website was visible in advertisements during this period.
Why a 3-month measurement for SEA?
Given the dynamic nature of advertising compared with organic positions, the full three-month period was used to accurately map out the advertisers.
Ad presence indicates, as a percentage, how often your website was shown throughout the full three-month period. Here too, the average position was weighted based on search volume, meaning that search terms with a higher search volume have a greater influence on your average position.
Here you can see the 25 websites that are most prominent in this sector based on the organic results in Google on 13-10-2025. Only the top 20 results per search term were used to provide as accurate a picture as possible and to map out parties that are 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 has a top 20 ranking for many search terms and has achieved a good average position.
This is the SEO market 3 months later than the initial measurement. By analysing the situation in January, you can see the medium-term SEO trend within your sector. Think of emerging players 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 give you a clear overview, a percentage-based graph has also been added. This allows you to see at a glance how the positions of different parties in your sector 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.
Here too, the top right is the most favourable: the number of search terms in the top 20 has increased, along 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. Simply put: if you move up from position 2 to position 1 this means an improvement of +50%.
Looking at the period (13-10-2025 and 13-01-2026) these are our findings:
The biggest climber is Gamma.nl, which now has a better presence in the top 20. The website has a visibility change of 8% and an average position change of 20.9%.
The current visibility percentage is now 28.9% and the average position is 10.84.
The visibility change of Kunstgrasnet.nl is 4% and the average position change 32.9%, meaning that the current average position 7.5 is.
Mastergrass.nl has a visibility change of 4% and an average position change of 9.5%, meaning that the average position now stands at 11.33.
The biggest decliner is Kunstgrasdump.nl, which is now less present in the top 20. The website has a visibility change of -7% and an average position change of -133.7%.
The current visibility percentage is now 26.8% and the average position is 13.65.
Hornbach.nl with a visibility change of 3% and an average position change of -95.2%, resulting in the current average position being 8.06 is.
Grasexpert.com has a visibility change of 8% and an average position change of -33.8% and the current average position is 9.7.
Alongside the analysis of the organic Google search results, the corresponding paid text ads have also been examined. As you know, of course, the first organic position in Google is the highest achievable, but unfortunately, that does not necessarily mean that your website is immediately visible to the searcher.
For that reason, it is interesting to examine for the same search terms, over the entire 3-month period, which parties are also actively using SEA. This gives you an even more concrete picture of your visibility in Google for the artificial grass sector and enables you to see even more clearly who your biggest competitors are.
