The Challenge

A local trade, a crowded market.

Roofing ("dakdekker") searches in the Netherlands are dominated by local intent — homeowners looking for urgent leak repairs, storm damage callouts, and 24/7 availability in and around Haarlem. Dakdekkers247.nl was competing against established local roofing firms with a modest backlink profile and a keyword footprint that hadn't been focused on the terms that actually convert.

Context: Total tracked keywords actually dropped over this period (393, down from 874) — a deliberate consolidation away from low-value, low-intent terms and toward pages that rank in the Top 3 and actually drive calls, which is why traffic and Top 3 rankings both climbed even as the raw keyword count fell.
