Home Services Super App' Positioning — 30+ Categories — Not Confirmed as Hero Tagline
Score

Finding
AIM Group quotes CEO Nacho Tejero: 'We are evolving from being perceived as a cleaning app to becoming a true home services super app, with categories such as electricians, plumbers, renovations, moving services, tutoring, and childcare or elderly care, among the more than 30 service categories currently available.' The shift from 'cleaning app' to 'home services super app' is a strategic repositioning that the homepage must lead with — otherwise Webel is still being understood as a cleaning marketplace by first-time visitors.
Recommendation
Update the homepage hero to the 'super app' frame: 'Webel — the home services super app. Cleaning, plumbers, electricians, tutoring, childcare, and 30+ more. One app, everything your home needs.' The old positioning ('cleaning app') was a category limitation; the new positioning ('super app') is a category expansion. The hero is the most important place to establish the new positioning before the European expansion begins.

7.5x / 6.6x / 3.3x / 2.2x Revenue Growth (2022-2025) — Extraordinary Traction Metric Not in Hero

Finding
AIM Group quotes Tejero: 'Since 2022, the company has recorded growth of 7.5x, 6.6x, 3.3x, and 2.2x, the most recent year achieved with lower marketing investment than previous years.' This 4-year consecutive revenue growth trajectory — with improving capital efficiency (growing 2.2x on less marketing spend) — is an extraordinary signal. It proves Webel has a sustainable, organic-growth business model. For a home services marketplace competing against Bark, Treatwell, and TaskRabbit, this growth series is the hero claim.
Recommendation
Feature the growth trajectory in the homepage metrics bar: 'Revenue growth: 7.5x → 6.6x → 3.3x → 2.2x (2022–2025) · Growing on less marketing each year.' Or summarised: '28x revenue growth since 2022 · Now tripling revenue in 2026.' The capital efficiency message — growing 2.2x with lower marketing investment — is particularly powerful for B2B customers (home service professionals) evaluating whether Webel is a platform worth committing to long-term.

Cleaning App' Search Intent — Old Positioning Generating Traffic That Doesn't Match New Super App Brand
Score
25
Severity
Medium
Finding
Webel's historical SEO and App Store positioning was built around 'cleaning app Spain' and 'limpieza a domicilio' (home cleaning). With 30+ service categories now available, searches for 'plumber Madrid,' 'electrician Barcelona,' 'tutor a domicilio Madrid,' and 'childcare app Spain' represent major untapped organic traffic. If Webel's SEO still primarily targets cleaning searches, the expansion to 30+ categories is invisible to organic search.
Recommendation
Create dedicated landing pages for each new service category: webelapp.com/fontanero-madrid (plumber Madrid), webelapp.com/electricista-barcelona, webelapp.com/clases-particulares (private lessons). Each page should be localised for the specific city with specific service details. This multi-city × multi-category SEO expansion is how Webel captures organic search traffic from the 30+ category expansion without paid marketing spend — directly enabling the 'tripling revenue on lower marketing' strategy.
