Frequently Asked Questions

This depends on the keywords you are targeting. General keywords with many search results are difficult to rank high on. Think “clothing,” “women’s shoes” or “playstation 4. Specific keywords with fewer search results are easier. Think ‘wrist brace right’, ‘women’s bicycle 28 inch aluminum’ or ‘bicycle bags double waterproof’.

In short: If we fail to rank your product in your chosen top (e.g., the top 10) for any of your specified keywords, you will get your money back 100% at the end of the campaign. So we are going to make sure that you rank in the search results (not counting ads) during your campaign. If we do not succeed in doing this for all the keywords you have specified, we will consider our service insufficient and, despite the work done, we will give you your money back. This way you can be sure that you are getting value for money!

 

Go to: Better rank on Bol.com ⇒ Bol.com SEO | Marketplacestudio.nl and place you order. Here you can specify which keywords and products you would like to rank for. We will give you advice on this. Once we have received payment for your order, we will start writing an advisory report. This will be delivered within 2 working days. After delivery, we start our SEO campaign 2 business days later for the duration you have chosen.

 

There are a few things to keep in mind:

A) We recommend selecting a keyword that consists of multiple words (e.g., “bicycle bags double” or “wrist brace right”). If you advertise or have advertised on Bol.com: Look closely at which keywords have generated clicks and sales. 

B) Make sure your product is in the right category. You do this by comparing your product category with 3 competitors. Which category are they in? Make sure this category is identical! We see that this sometimes goes wrong. Ranking is not possible if your product is not placed in the correct category.

C) Your product should already rank in Bol.com on the first 150 positions. If the product is untraceable, we advise you to contact us first so we can help you solve this.

 

For a product page to successfully rank for a keyword, there are a few conditions:

The product is live with stock on Bol.com/en/ or Bol.com/be/

The product has a review average of at least 3.5 out of 5, or no reviews yet.

If you want the top 10 search guarantee, the keyword should have no more than 8000 search results

Your product must be findable in search results for your chosen keyword

The product is not within a variation.

We recommend selecting a keyword consisting of multiple words (e.g., “fitness mat 200 cm”). Tip: If you advertise or have advertised on Bol.com: Look closely at which keywords have generated clicks and sales.

 

Have you read our ‘what to consider’ FAQ, but still want to promote a keyword with high competition?

You can, but we cannot guarantee in that case that you will rank top 10. The chance is there, but we cannot guarantee it.

Of course, the potential here is enormous!

Ps. There may be additional costs here. 

We can rank up to 3 products from the same client on the same keyword provided no top 3 ranking guarantee is requested and no other campaign is already running for this keyword.

After placing your order, within 2 business days we will begin ranking higher for the keyword you provided for your product for a period of 7 days. At the end of this period, you will receive an email with the results of the campaign.

 

All we need from you is the product URL and 1 keyword consisting of 2 or 3 terms for the product you want ranked, your email address and your business address. We do not need any payment information.

 

Yes you really are not stuck with anything when you place an order for a trial campaign. We do not ask for payment details when you place an order for a trial campaign. All we ask of you is to leave a review on our trustpilot page, helping us with a positive review (if you liked it of course!) :).

 

Your product will rise in ranking by applying our advice from the advisory report you receive. In addition, your ranking will increase due to the user signals we send to your product listing (SEO). If you decide to end your campaign, the SEO will stop. Depending on the competition (do they lower their prices? Do they come up with new products), your ranking will drop back down in the rankings. The exact position is hard to predict. Our experience shows that a product returns to its previous position in 7 to 30 days after the end of a campaign.

 

Pausing campaigns is unfortunately not possible. You need to make sure yourself that you have enough products in stock, and have your product in the correct category.

 

No problem, we are happy to think with you! Just contact us, see how at the bottom of the page.

No, we do not require any kind of access. 

 

A) For each keyword, only 1 customer can be helped on top 3 and top 7 guarantees. At top 10 guarantees this can be 2 customers.

B) However, per customer we can rank multiple products on 1 keyword on Bol.com:

These are the options:

A) 3x top 7 ranking

B) 3x top 10 ranking

C) 1x top 3 ranking and 2x top 7 or top 10 ranking

The reason for this is that otherwise we cannot fulfill our guarantee promises.

So never more than once top 3 and never more than 3 times a guarantee at all!

Update: Good news! Since April 2022, we are able to rank products on Bol.com/be/ as well! Enter the URL of your belgian product page while ordering, and we will make sure to specifically target Belgium.

Note!

The same product can only be ranked on BE and NL if it has a unique product ID for each country.

If the product does not have a unique product ID, choose to rank for NL or BE.

1. Go to bol.com. Type in a keyword. 

2. Click enter. ‘xxxxx results’ will now appear under the title.

Review the FAQ above to find out the maximum number of search results we can guarantee a top 10.

We will default your products to rank high on the ‘all categories’ page, if you also want to rank high in a specific category, you need to make sure your product is in that category.

Example: If you search for ‘mosquito lamp’ on Bol.com, Bol.com will show the only results within the category ‘insect lamps’. 

 

We have no direct contact with Bol.com or other marketplaces regarding our service. As with Google SEO, we try to give the search engine algorithms what they ask for. 

In the case of Google, these are mainly backlinks and content. In the case of Bol.com, other factors play a role. Because we offer a rank guarantee on our products, the risks for customers are minimal. Do you not rank or are you placed lower? After all, you will get your money back!

We cannot guarantee that bol.com will ever change their algorithm and take action against this. The question is then what will happen. We do not expect products that we boost for you to suffer negative effects from this. 

Why not? If it were, it would open the door to abuse by competitors. After all, the service is then a “weapon” for the competitor to obtain deductions on BOL.com’s policies.

Bol.com itself indicates in its videos that pageviews matter in rankings, see the video on visibility in their webinar . 

That’s what we deliver, in a scalable, effective way. There is no distinction between types of pageviews in this. In addition, of course, we offer the rank guarantee, which gives you financial security. So we run a risk if our ranking methods no longer work correctly.

Although absolute guarantees do not exist in life, we believe that the risk of adverse effects is very limited.

Technically, most optimization techniques go against search engine guidelines. However, if it were so dangerous, it would be easy to apply the techniques against competitors so that they experience the adverse effects.

Therefore, in practice, there is very little risk. We constantly test random products on this, in order to measure the effects and further improve our service.

Simple. If we do not rank any of your keywords at the rank guarantee position we have issued during your 30-day campaign, you can request a refund via email, live chat or the contact form.

 

The campaign starts with the writing of a one-time advisory report. In it, your entire product page is analyzed by our team and improvement suggestions are given.

After delivery of the report, +/- 48 hours later our off-page optimization starts. These are SEO signals that we send to listings. We keep the exact formula of this to ourselves so as not to make our competitors any wiser. It is our “secret sauce” that makes our service so unique and effective!

Our service is hands-off and achieves success on about 95% of all keywords, so the chances of success are very high. Should we still fail to rank you, you simply get your money back according to our rank guarantee. A real win-win situation.

Our service is highly effective, making this service at this price considered a no-brainer by many clients. Most clients earn a demonstrable return on their campaign between 10 to 18 days.

In 90% of cases, our clients recoup their campaign costs in 10 to 18 days.

You can easily place an order by choosing a package in the prices section and checkout. You can download an invoice in your own profile and order more packages.

This is unfortunately not possible given that we prepare campaigns and write advisory reports.

Subscriptions run for the concluded period, unfortunately you cannot cancel in the meantime. You get a discount when you subscribe for longer periods. We recommend that you choose 1-month campaigns in this case.

Subscriptions expire automatically. Suppose you order a 3-month campaign. You will not be billed again after these 3 months.

You can pay in different ways. Think of credit card, iDeal, a direct bank transfer (both NL and BE) or via bitcoin or Ethereum.

Our service is applied to a product, not product groups. So we boost 1 product. We recommend disconnecting variations for a good keyword boost.

Type part of your product name in the BOL search. You will then get a list of products. Find your product here and verify if other variations are shown within your product.

Our ranking service works better when the products are disconnected and thus not boosted as a variation.

 

Update July 2022: At this time, we strongly recommend not running sponsored products at the same time as running a campaign with us. We find that this can have a negative impact on your campaign.

Yes, this is not a problem. Once your product appears on page 1 of the search results, your sponsored products result will be shown on page 2 or beyond.

The top 10 ranking applies to the normal default sorting of boel.com search results, i.e., the “relevance” dropdown option. 

 

Our service focuses on search results. So when a customer searches for a product, he or she gets to see the search results in almost all geveallen. This is where we rank you.

In some exceptional cases, the consumer will not see search results but a product category page after a search. We recommend that you do not enter orders for such keywords.

You can recognize these pages by this text in the url: ruleRedirect=1

Our service provides organic rankings. This is separate from sponsored products.

So this way you will rank high without paying per click. So our service is useful for advertisers who currently pay per click. Many of our clients earn back our service because they spend less on sponsored products.

We follow the AVG law to protect personal data. Your customer data is therefore treated with the highest degree of confidentiality. Data will not be shared with third parties. In addition, your order data is used exclusively for the execution of our campaigns.

Our systems are well secured to exclude third party access.

We do not ask for and do not have access to your bol.com sales account. Therefore, we cannot tell you exactly what your sales results are.

We do send you a progress report every Friday with insight into the development of your rankings of your products. This allows you to look at your sales data to see if you also see an increase in sales.

It can happen. This often has a few common causes, which you or we can fix.

1. Is your product in the right category? 

It could be that your product is in the ‘wrong’ category. Bol.com often shows a specific category as a search result. Search for your keyword and see if the result contains this text:

 These are the results for [Your keyword] in [Standard Category].

Search ‘[Your keyword]’ in all categories

Click on the search link. Is your product then found? Then it means you need to change your product category to the standard category.

2. Is your product still in stock with the same price?

In some cases a price change throws a spanner in the works. Check if your price is still the same, and you still have the product actively listed on Bol.com. If you have recently changed your price, or your product was out of stock, please let us know via the contact page.

3. Is your product linked as a product variation?

If the product you have optimized with us is linked as a product variation, it may not rank. Disconnect it to make it rank normally.

If you have any questions or need further assistance with this please let us know.

First, we do our utmost to achieve the ranking guarantees, but in some cases this is still not feasible. Then, of course, you can ask for a refund.

Send an e-mail to us with the campaign whose rankings you think have not been achieved. 

Include your company name and account number, and we’ll make sure the money is in your account within 10 business days!

We hope that you will nevertheless be open to new campaigns, as failure to achieve rankings is not common.

 

You pay per month, even if you purchase 3, 6 or 12 months. 

This way you never have to pay a large amount upfront.

This is possible via credit card and direct debit. Manual payment options are not available for multi-month purchases.
