Many products, little original copy – and too much clutter in the index

A usable foundation with noticeable gaps: a few targeted steps will make you much easier to find.
Compared with competitors: Of 12 search terms checked, you appear among the first ten results on Google for 5, Bergpfad Beispielshop for 12. Your strongest competitor is therefore found more often than you.
Musterladen leads on niche products but is barely visible in the big categories. Manufacturer texts, more than a thousand filter pages in the index and missing buying advice hold it back. Cleaning up the index first and describing the most important products in its own words will help it catch up quickly.
The 12 findings of this audit are grouped into 3 action areas. Each area states the problem, the evidence, the impact on your business and the solution. The corresponding actions are in the action plan.
Bergpfad Beispielshop and Trail Exempel share the top positions. Both have guides and comparisons that are missing here.
14 actions, ordered by impact and effort within each timeframe. Each action belongs to an action area; quick wins are marked.
The order of the short-term actions: prerequisites first, at most two actions per responsible role start in each phase, and the length of the bar follows the effort. A guide for your planning, not a schedule.
