Steuben Glass appeared in 4 of 5 sampled buyer-intent queries (80%). The website is highly discoverable for informational and community-oriented queries related to Steuben glass, its history, and collecting. However, there is a clear gap in discoverability for transactional queries, as the site does not facilitate the purchase of new Steuben glass products, consistent with its role as an association for a historical brand.
