This is because the id you're using to access the element is a dynamic id. Everytime you refresh the page it will be different.

You'll need another way to locate the element thats not dynamic. You could try using a class or an xpath that searches for text within the button. Something like this to give you an idea:

Click Element    xpath=//button/span/span[contains(text(), 'Beste Ergebnisse')]
