SEO Proposal · Rinnai Indonesia · 3 November 2026

Water heaters, built-in hobs, and cooker hoods are searched 51,600 times a month.
Why is Rinnai missing from the main Google results?

We looked at what Indonesian buyers of kitchen and bathroom appliances search for on Google, whose sites appear today, what changed after Rinnai's new website went live, and what needs to be in place for Rinnai to be found again within 6 to 12 months. Every figure includes its source.

Key terms

What are SEO, AEO, and GEO?

All three help buyers find Rinnai when they look for a stove, water heater, or cooker hood. The difference is where they search.

In simple termsThink of Google as the largest home appliance store in Indonesia. SEO puts Rinnai's products on the shelf shoppers look at most. AEO makes Google answer buyers' questions by quoting Rinnai. GEO makes ChatGPT and other AI tools name Rinnai when asked about stoves and water heaters.
Search Engine Optimization

Someone asks ChatGPT "which Japanese built-in hob brand is good?", and Rinnai is named as an option.

The decision

Recover the lost rankings first, then complete the 3H pages

Blue gas stove flame
In simple termsRinnai once ranked first on Google for "water heater" and "regulator gas". When the new site went live, the old page addresses were not redirected to the new pages, and those rankings were lost. What was once held is faster to recover than to build from scratch.
For its own name, Rinnai is safe. The site ranks first for "rinnai", "kompor rinnai", and "kompor rinnai 2 tungku". The problem lies in category searches, which are far larger. For "water heater" (28,000 searches a month), Rinnai ranked first in January 2026 and is now outside the top 30. Rinnai's site strength is 43 out of 100, close to Modena (45), yet Modena gets about 28,000 visitors a month from Google, twice as many as Rinnai. (Ahrefs, 3 November 2026.)
Five findings

What affects the number of buyers the most

Modern bathroom
In simple termsRinnai's new site looks clean, but Google lost track of the old pages, does not yet read Rinnai as a Japanese brand, and the site is slow on mobile.
  1. Visitors from Google have dropped about 72% since January

    According to Ahrefs, the Rinnai site received about 46,240 visitors a month from Google in January 2026, then 29,829 in June and about 13,149 today. The number of keywords bringing visitors fell from 2,929 to 733.

  2. Pages that used to rank first now return 404

    The article "Kenali Water Heater-mu" (Get to know your water heater) ranked first for "water heater" (28,000 a month), and the article on installing a gas regulator ranked first for "regulator gas" (27,000 a month). Both addresses, and the old product page addresses, now show "Halaman Tidak Ditemukan" (page not found).

  3. Large 3H searches go unanswered

    "Water heater" (28,000), "kompor tanam" (14,000), and "cooker hood" (9,600) add up to 51,600 searches a month. Rinnai reaches the top 10 only for cooker hood (position 4). For the other two, Google shows Tokopedia, Shopee, Modena, Ariston, and Electrolux. Rinnai's category pages are quoted in Google's AI summary but do not appear in the regular results.

  4. Google does not read Rinnai as a Japanese brand

    The home page title is "Rinnai Indonesia, Pelopor Healthy Lifestyle di Indonesia" (healthy lifestyle pioneer in Indonesia), the description starts with "Distributor resmi Rinnai Indonesia" (official distributor), and the main heading is just "Rinnai". The word "Japan" (Jepang) does not appear on the home page or on the water heater, built-in hob, cooker hood, and gas stove category pages.

  5. The site is slow on mobile

    A Google PageSpeed test on 3 November 2026 scored 47 on mobile and 66 on desktop. On mobile, the home page's main image appeared only after 25.3 seconds. Most people search for home appliances on their phones.

What buyers search for

The most searched terms

How many times people in Indonesia search for these terms on Google each month (Ahrefs, 3 November 2026). Search terms are shown in Indonesian, as people type them.

Searching on a phone
In simple termsThe 3H categories are among the most searched. People who type "water heater" or "kompor tanam" are usually setting up a new home or replacing an old appliance.

Translations: kompor tanam = built-in hob, kompor gas = gas stove, tungku = burner, listrik = electric, pemanas air = water heater, penghisap asap dapur = kitchen exhaust. Other relevant searches: "harga water heater" (water heater price) 1,500, "merk kompor gas terbaik" (best gas stove brand) 1,500, "water heater terbaik" 400, "kompor tanam terbaik" 400, "cooker hood terbaik" 300 a month. Brand names: "modena" 7,800, "electrolux" 7,600, "kompor rinnai" 5,400, "rinnai" 3,500. Searches such as "rinnai buatan mana" (where is Rinnai made) and "rinnai dari negara mana" (which country is Rinnai from) are still small (30 to 40 a month), so the Japanese brand message works best on pages that already get many visitors.

Compared with other brands

Ahrefs estimates, 3 November 2026. Exact figures may vary, but the gaps are clear.

Kitchen showroom
In simple terms"Site strength" is based on how many other sites link to a site, on a scale of 0 to 100. Rinnai's strength matches Electrolux and Modena. The difference is in visitors, because their pages answer more product searches.

Source: Ahrefs, 3 November 2026. Ariston and Teka are excluded because their Indonesian pages sit under a global site, so the figures are not comparable. Marketplaces such as Tokopedia and Shopee appear in almost every product search, but they are not direct brand competitors.

Who ranks today

3H searches are held by marketplaces, Modena, and Electrolux

Google Indonesia results according to Ahrefs, 3 November 2026. Search volumes also from Ahrefs.

Searching on Google with a laptop
In simple termsWhen people search for "water heater" or "kompor tanam", Google shows Tokopedia, Shopee, Modena, and Electrolux. Rinnai is only quoted in the AI summary at the very top.

Searches that include the Rinnai name are safe. The ones to pursue are searches without a brand name, because that is where buyers who have not chosen a brand are comparing.

Work to be done

Eight pieces of work to recover and grow visitors

All of them can be built from product data and brand guidelines Rinnai already has.

Site check

SEO foundations the Rinnai site still needs

We opened the home page, four category pages, three product pages, the service center page, and the page list submitted to Google, and measured speed with Google PageSpeed Insights on 3 November 2026. We only looked and did not change anything.

Code on a screen
In simple termsRinnai's new site already looks clean and fits the "Solid and Minimal" style. What needs work is behind the scenes: redirects, speed, and the information Google reads.

Old addresses are not redirected to the new pages

Critical
Issue
Old addresses such as /kenali-water-heater-mu/, /cara-memasang-regulator-gas-yang-benar, /gas-stove/, /kompor-gas-rinnai-ri-302s/, and /cooker-hood-rinnai-rh-126b/ are redirected from www to non-www, then end at a 404 "Halaman Tidak Ditemukan" (page not found). These pages used to bring most of the visitors from Google.
Evidence
Old Rinnai water heater article address returns 404
Fix
A redirect map from every old address to the new page with the same content. Articles that have not been rebuilt are rewritten at a new address.

Slow on mobile

Critical
Issue
The home page's Google PageSpeed score is 47 on mobile and 66 on desktop. On mobile, the main image appears only after 25.3 seconds (3.0 seconds on desktop). This comes from one test, so we will measure again several times before starting.
Fix
Compress the main image and load it first, defer unnecessary scripts, then monitor speed every week.

The Japanese brand message is not visible to Google

High
Issue
The home page title is "Rinnai Indonesia, Pelopor Healthy Lifestyle di Indonesia", the description starts with "Distributor resmi Rinnai Indonesia", and the main heading is just "Rinnai". The word "Jepang" (Japan) does not appear on the home page or the four category pages. The data Google reads for the home page is typed as an article, not as company data.
Fix
A title, description, and home page text that name Rinnai as a Japanese brand, plus company data for Google. Content follows Rinnai's brand guidelines.

Product pages lack product data and image names

High
Issue
The three product pages we checked (RI-2RSPN, RB-772RO(G), RH-229SS) have no structured data at all. The main heading is only the model code and appears twice, and 16 to 20 images per page have no name. The home page and category pages are similar: 23 of 29 home page images have no name.
Fix
Full product names as main headings, product data (name, brand, image, category) for Google, and image names generated from product data.

Few articles left, and the page list needs tidying

Medium
Issue
The article list submitted to Google contains only 7 articles, all in English and all about built-in hobs. The page list also includes pages that do not belong there, such as /thank-you/, /corporate-philosophy-2/, and /corporate-philosophy-3/.
Fix
Indonesian articles for each 3H category, and a cleaned-up page list for Google.

Questions people also ask Google and ChatGPT

Many people now type full questions into Google. This list comes from Google question data (Ahrefs). Similar data for ChatGPT is not publicly available, so we use Google data as the reference.

In simple termsIf Rinnai's site answers these questions clearly, Google and AI tools are more likely to quote it, and to name Rinnai when people ask which brand is good.

Strategy

Helping Rinnai get found when people look for kitchen and bathroom appliances

A family cooking together in the kitchen
In simple termsWe work in three stages. First, recover the lost rankings. Second, make Rinnai appear when people search for 3H products. Third, build trust through guides on choosing, installing, and caring for appliances.
01

Recover what was lost

The fastest impact, because Google already knows these pages.

  • Redirect map for old addresses
  • Mobile speed
  • A home page that says Japanese brand
  • Company data for Google
02

When people search for 3H products

We start with the categories with the most searches, then move to individual products.

  • Water heaters: gas, electric, heat pump
  • Built-in hobs and cooker hoods
  • Product data and image names
03

When people are still researching

Home appliance buyers usually compare first. We prepare guides so they get to know Rinnai at this stage.

  • Water heater and gas regulator guides
  • Built-in hob and cooker hood guides
  • Answers to popular questions
Google's AI summary. Rinnai's category pages are already quoted in the AI summary for water heater, built-in hob, and cooker hood. Every new page will open with a clear answer so this position holds and grows.
What we do not promise. We do not promise to beat Tokopedia and Shopee for every search within 6 months, because both are very large. We also cannot guarantee any specific ranking, because that is Google's decision. What we aim for is to recover the lost rankings, reach the first page for 3H searches, then measure how many buyers click through to the official store and showrooms from the site.
Measuring success

From search to purchase

Google rankings are only the first step. Each month we also measure how many people find Rinnai, click through to the official store, and visit a showroom.

Our service package

What the package includes

Pricing is provided in a separate document.

Cooker hood in a kitchen
In simple termsThis monthly SEO package covers recovery, 3H pages, regular articles, and reports. All results remain Rinnai's property.

What Rinnai gets

  • Recovery: redirect map for old addresses, mobile speed, home page title and description, company data for Google
  • 3H category and product pages: full product names as main headings, product data, image names
  • 4 guide articles a month (water heaters, built-in hobs, cooker hoods, gas regulators)
  • Links from relevant home and kitchen media and partners (without buying links)
  • Content written so Google's AI summary and ChatGPT can quote it easily, with results monitored every month
  • Click tracking for the official store, showrooms, and service centers, plus a monthly report on Google rankings, visitors, and buyers who take action
Frequently asked

If the SEO work stops, does Rinnai disappear from Google?

Short answerNo. All pages we create live on Rinnai's own site and remain Rinnai's property. Rinnai keeps appearing on Google after the engagement ends. Ads are different: ads stop showing as soon as payment stops.

What stays

  • All pages and articles on rinnai.co.id
  • Google accounts (Search Console, Analytics) in Rinnai's name
  • Google Maps reviews of the showrooms

What can slowly drop

  • Google rankings, if other brands keep adding content
  • Product information that is not updated

Any decline is gradual.

Compared with ads

  • Ads stop showing the day the budget runs out
  • Nothing remains in Google search results
Conclusion

SEO is an investment that compounds, and whoever gets there first is harder to move

In simple termsAds stop bringing visitors once payment stops. Pages that Google trusts keep bringing buyers every month, and the number grows each time a new page is added.

Compounding: results keep adding up

A water heater page built this month still brings visitors next month, and the built-in hob and cooker hood pages add to it. People who type "water heater" are weighing a purchase, so every increase in visitors means more buyers reaching the official store.

Whoever is first is harder to move

Google tends to keep pages that have ranked for a long time. Modena and Electrolux are already on the first page for water heater and built-in hob. The longer Rinnai waits, the harder they are to displace.

What was once held is faster to recover

Rinnai once ranked first for "water heater" and "regulator gas", and its site is as strong as Modena's. What is needed is to recover the old addresses and complete pages for 51,600 3H searches a month. This is not easy: it takes the right pages, Google's trust, and steady work over 6 to 12 months. That is where we help.

Our recommendation: put the redirect map in place as soon as possible, because the longer those addresses return 404, the more likely Google is to drop them. Then move on to the water heater, built-in hob, and cooker hood pages.
