Hyperlocal website storms engagement chart in latest IPSOS figures

Ipsos Full Logo (RGB)A hyperlocal website had the second most engaged users in the country in February with each visitor spending almost nine minutes on the site on average.

The Isle of Thanet News was launched by Kathy Bailes in 2017 after she left her role with Reach-plc owned county-wide website Kent Live.

Last month it placed second in the national league table for average minutes spent per user, according to the latest

The News, which covers Margate and Ramsgate, was second only to Newsquest’s eveningnews24.co.uk, the website of the Norwich Evening News, whose users stayed on the site for more than 12 minutes.

Other Newsquest sites continued to dominate the engagement chart with Carlisle’s newsandstar.co.uk and ipswichstar.co.uk also figuring in the top four.

However Reach platforms reigned supreme in the overall audience list, with Gloucestershire Live making an appearance in the top 10 for the first time after posting a 128pc year-on-year increase in users.

Gloucestershire Live also made the top 10 for page views with 18.9m during February compared to 7m in February 2023, but Birmingham Live continued to top the chart with 59.9m views.

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, February 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.
