Statistics pages for GEO: one figure, one method, one URL

Publish figures you generated or truly checked

If you crawled, surveyed, or counted, say the sample and the date in the first section. If you are repeating someone else’s number, link to them and do not pretend the page is the source.

One strong figure with a method beats a roundup of twenty uncited stats. Roundups get quoted wrongly because nobody can see which number belonged to which year.

Format the number for extraction

Put the figure in a sentence and in a table cell. Include the unit and the place: sites, percent, Hong Kong, month. A naked ‘73’ in a chart image will be misread.

Give the page a boring, specific title. ‘Hong Kong internal-link crawl, September 2026’ will be cited more accurately than ‘SEO stats you need’.

• Sample size and date up front.
• Figure in text and in a table.
• A title that names the measurement.

Maintain or retire

Schedule a review or label the page as a snapshot that will not be updated. Both are honest. A forgotten ‘live benchmark’ is how you become the source of a stale myth.

Link guides to the statistics page instead of copying the number into ten articles that will drift apart.

Can a statistics page attract links and citations?

Yes, when the figure is specific and the method is visible. Generic stat roundups attract scrapers more than serious citations.

How often should a statistics page be updated?

As often as you said it would be. If it is a one-time crawl, label it with the month and leave it as a snapshot.
