German B2C digital presence requirements
Site role
The site must help visitors understand, desire and consider Gold, then direct them to an external transaction channel. Within ten seconds, a visitor should grasp the product, its Tunisian origin and the reason it is different.
Recommended architecture
- Home
- Gold product page
- Origin / Tunisia
- Taste and cooking
- Recipes
- Journal
- About
- Where to buy
- Contact
The homepage sequence should move from product identification to origin, taste, table, story, proof and conversion. Storytelling comes after clarity.
Gold page
The product template contains a hero packshot, concise description, sensory guide, suggested uses, origin block, validated product information and purchase CTA. Every product fact comes from one controlled source. Missing data is marked internally and never replaced with promotional assumptions.
Content model
Launch content prioritises the questions most likely to support discovery: why Tunisian olive oil, how Gold tastes, how to use it, how it differs from familiar origins and where to buy it. Recipes should connect Tunisian inspiration with ordinary German and European kitchens.
SEO and structured data
Use one clear URL per intent, descriptive titles, internal links and suitable Product, Organization, Article, Recipe and Breadcrumb structured data. SEO begins with commercial and comparison intent, then expands into origin and recipe clusters.
Functional scope

Quality and compliance
The site must be fast, accessible, indexable and easy to maintain. Images need suitable formats, dimensions and alternative text. Consent management must match the tracking actually deployed. Claims, product data, marketplace availability and contact details must pass a final content review.
Measurement
Track product views, origin and recipe engagement, marketplace clicks, click-through rate, organic landing pages, top queries and mobile behaviour. The central commercial event is the outbound marketplace click.
MVP success condition
The MVP succeeds when it communicates Gold clearly, establishes Tunisia as a desirable origin, works reliably on mobile, sends measurable qualified traffic to the purchase channel and can be maintained without disproportionate technical effort.
