What is the organic presence percentage?
The presence percentage 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 within 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 sooner and giving you a better understanding of the potential impact on your website traffic.
How is advertising presence measured?
Advertising presence shows how often your website was visible in text adverts on page 1 or 2 of Google over a three-month period. This percentage indicates how often your website was visible in adverts during this period.
Why a 3-month measurement for SEA?
Given the dynamic nature of adverts compared with organic positions, the full three-month period was used to accurately map the advertising parties.
Ad presence indicates, as a percentage, how often your website was shown throughout the full three-month period. Here too, the average position is 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 have the greatest presence 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 identify parties actively working to become visible within this keyword theme.
The ideal position is 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 good average position.
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 sector. This could include emerging parties that are increasingly gaining market share or established names that have strengthened their position in the market even further.
More importantly, you can of course also see how your organic presence and average position have developed compared with your competitors.
To make comparisons easier and give you a clear overview, a percentage graph has also been added. At a glance, this shows 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 an improved average position. The bottom left is the least favourable, as 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 rise 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 riser is Autoimporteur.nl, which now has a stronger presence in the top 20. The website has a change in presence of 34% and an average position change of 21.2%.
The current visibility percentage is now 53.7% and the average position is 8.01.
The visibility change of Gijsautoimport.nl is 14% and the average position change 22.5%, meaning the current average position is 11 is.
Car-go.nl has a visibility change of 80% and an average position change of -4.7%, meaning the average position now stands at 13.71.
The biggest decliner is Rijksoverheid.nl, which is now less visible in the top 20. The website has a visibility change of 5% and an average position change of -64.5%.
The current visibility percentage is now 26.8% and the average position is 16.81.
Easyimport.nl with a visibility change of 3% and an average position change of -36.2%, making the current average position 5.8 is.
Importautos.nl has a visibility change of 10% and an average position change of -16.1% and the current average position is 12.45.
Alongside the analysis of the organic Google search results, the associated paid text ads were also examined. As you of course know, the first organic position in Google is the highest achievable, but that does not (unfortunately) 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 view of your visibility in Google for the car import industry and allows you to see even more clearly who your biggest competitors are.
