City website storms ahead in online audience chart

Ipsos Full Logo (RGB)

One of Reach’s flagship city websites has maintained its dominance at the top of the online traffic charts for last month, but rival publishers continue to lead way on user engagement.

Birmingham Live, the sister website of the Birmingham Mail, continued to storm ahead in the rankings for audience and page views, with 9.4m unique users in March and 57.8m views.

It held on to top place on both metrics, with sister titles the Manchester Evening News and Liverpool Echo in 2nd and 3rd place respectively for page views and 3rd and 4th for users.

But rival publishers Tindle Newspapers and Newsquest continued to hold sway in the user engagement chart, which measures how long on average each user spends on a site.

Top place on this metric went to Tindle’s Cambrian News, with an average 9.56 minutes per user, ahead of Carlisle News and Star website newsandstar.co.uk and Norwich Evening News platform eveningnews24.co.uk in 2nd and 3rd place.

Highest ranking Reach sites for user engagement were the Hull Daily Mail’s HullLive, at 6.53 minutes per user, and the Grimsby Telegraph’s GrimsbyLive with 5.52 minutes.

Hyperlocal title the Isle of Thanet News maintained its presence in the top 10, ranking 7th overall with an average user engagement time of 6.34 minutes.

By contrast visitors to Birmingham Live stayed on average for 1.5 minutes, down from 2.55 minutes in Fenruary.

Reach’s Gloucestershire Live continued its race up the charts following its strong showing in February, placing 7th on both audience and traffic metrics with 3.8m users  – a 137pc increase on March 2023 – and 19.4m page views, an increase of 135pc.

The full list showing the total number of unique users is below. Scroll down for the table showing total number of page views per user and average minutes per user tables.

The titles are listed in order of the most recent, March 2024 metrics, which can be found in the middle column.

Websites which are ‘untagged’ are reported based on observed panel behaviour. These sites can experience volatility from month to month.

When a website is untagged, it means that it relies solely on data collected from the Ipsos Iris user-centric panel. Tagging enhances measurement, particularly for smaller sites, by improving the accuracy of the reported data.
