What is the organic visibility percentage?
The visibility percentage indicates for what percentage of the search terms your website appears in the top 20 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 sooner and giving you a better understanding of the potential impact on your website traffic.
How is ad visibility measured?
Ad visibility shows how often your website appeared 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 ads during this period.
Why a 3 months measurement for SEA?
Given the dynamic nature of ads compared with organic positions, the full three-month period was used to accurately map the advertising parties.
Ad visibility 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 25websites with the strongest 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 strong 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 sector. Think of emerging parties that are continually gaining market share, or established names that have gained an even stronger foothold 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 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 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 Mediamarkt.nl, which is now better represented in the top 20. The website has a presence change of 39% and an average position change of 14.5%.
The current visibility percentage is now 23.6% and the average position is 6.95.
The visibility change of Praxis.nl is 33% and the average position change -5.2%, meaning that the current average position 7.35 is.
Haardcenter.nl has a visibility change of -15% and an average position change of 34.1%, meaning that the average position is now 2.88.
The biggest decliner is Houtkacheldirect.nl, which is now less visible in the top 20. The website has a visibility change of 29% and an average position change of -56.7%.
The current visibility percentage is now 19.8% and the average position is 7.16.
Haardenexpert.nl with a visibility change of -3% and an average position change of -48.8%, bringing the current average position to 7.47.
Sfeerhuisbaan.nl has a visibility change of -16% and an average position change of -39.8% and the current average position is 9.21.
Alongside the analysis of the organic Google search results, the corresponding paid text ads were also examined closely. As you naturally know, the first organic position in Google is the highest achievable, but unfortunately, that does not necessarily mean that your website is also immediately visible to the searcher.
For that reason, it is interesting to examine, for the same search terms over the entire 3 months period, which parties are also actively using SEA. This gives you an even more concrete picture of your visibility on Google for the stove industry and enables you to see even more clearly who your biggest competitors are.
