The analysis and charts are based on 699 important search terms within the phone case industry, which collectively represent an average monthly search volume of 1.166.320.
What is the organic presence percentage?
The presence percentage indicates the percentage of search terms for which your website appears in the top 20of 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 understanding of the potential impact on your website traffic.
How is ad presence measured?
The ad presence indicates how often your website was visible in text ads on page 1 or 2 of Google over a three-month period. 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 rankings, the full three-month period was used to accurately map the advertising parties.
The advertising presence indicates, as a percentage, how often your website was displayed 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 are most present in this industry based on the organic results in Google on 13-10-2025. Only the top 20 results per search term have been used to provide the most accurate picture possible and to map the parties actively working to become visible within this keyword theme.
In the top right of the graph is the ideal position: 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 first 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 market share or established names that have strengthened their 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.
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 rises, 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 Appelhoes.nl, which is now better represented in the top 20. The website has a visibility change of 16% and an average position change of 23%.
The current visibility percentage is now 53.7% and the average position is 9.25.
The visibility change of Dutchies.com is 32% and the average position change 18.9%, meaning that the current average position 8.69 is.
B2ctelecom.nl has a visibility change of 3% and an average position change of 7.2%, meaning that the average position now stands at 10.61.
The biggest decliner is Mediamarkt.nl, which is now less present in the top 20. The website has a presence change of 7% and an average position change of -41.4%.
The current presence percentage is now 66.5% and the average position is 9.26.
Otterbox.nl with a presence change of -6% and an average position change of -41.1%, meaning the current average position 9.23is.
Mimamsterdam.com has a change in presence of 7% and an average position change of -39.4% and the current average position is 4.81.
In addition to analysing the organic Google search results, the associated paid text ads were also examined closely. 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 will also immediately be 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 phone case industry and enables you to see even more clearly who your biggest competitors are.
These are the top 5 advertisers over the period 13-10-2025 to 13-01-2026:
Bol.com
Has a presence percentage of 90.2% with an average position of 1.98.
Smartphonehoesjes.nl
