Publish a statistics page with data relevant to your industry

4-6 hr Impact: high ✓ Manual completion — a permanent stone

A statistics page with data relevant to your industry aggregates useful numbers in one place — genuinely valuable as a reference other content creators, journalists, and researchers in your space will link to when they need a credible source for a specific statistic.

Statistics pages are among the most consistently linked content types that exist, because anyone writing about your industry eventually needs to cite a real number, and you become the convenient, credible source for it.

The full picture

A comprehensive industry statistics page extends the original-data and statistics-content principles discussed throughout this broader strategy into a dedicated, thorough resource specifically compiling relevant data for your entire industry — this represents genuine reference value distinct from statistics embedded within other, more narrowly-focused content pieces.

This dedicated treatment deserves the same rigor discussed regarding statistics content elsewhere — proper sourcing and attribution for every included figure, genuine organization that makes specific data points easy to locate and cite, and honest, accurate representation of whatever data you're compiling or presenting.

This content type tends to accumulate substantial, ongoing citation value precisely because it serves as convenient, comprehensive reference material other content creators within your industry genuinely need when discussing industry trends or context — a well-maintained, comprehensive statistics resource often becomes a frequently-cited reference point.

Given how data currency matters for this content type's continued usefulness and credibility, establishing genuine, periodic update practices ensures this resource remains accurate and valuable over time, rather than gradually becoming outdated and less useful as industry conditions and available data continue to evolve.

How to do it

  1. 1
    Gather genuinely useful, well-sourced statistics
    Either your own original data, or carefully compiled and properly attributed data from credible external sources.
  2. 2
    Organize by topic for easy reference
    Someone should be able to quickly find the specific number they need.
  3. 3
    Cite every source clearly
    Both for credibility and because unattributed statistics are much less trustworthy and less likely to be cited themselves.
  4. 4
    Update regularly
    Stats pages have a real shelf life — a periodic refresh keeps this genuinely current and valuable rather than visibly outdated.

Common mistakes
