🚀 We’re Launching the BabylonLocal.com Business Directory—And Here’s Why Traffic Matters
85,000 impressions. In just 28 days.
That’s the kind of traffic we’ve been seeing on ILoveBabylon.com lately—and it’s no accident.
From weekly event listings and email newsletters to our growing library of local guides, our small-but-mighty media platform has become the go-to source for “What’s Happening Around the Town of Babylon.”
And now, we’re ready to share that traffic with you.
📊 Is 85,000 Impressions a Lot for Babylon?
Short answer: For a hyper-local site that targets a single Long Island town, yes — 85,000 impressions in 28 days is a healthy number.
Let’s break this down:
1️⃣ Population Context
- The Town of Babylon has a population of about 217,000 residents (source).
- Our website saw 85,000 content impressions in less than a month.
- That means roughly 4 in 10 Babylon residents interacted with our content—many of them multiple times.
That’s a massive amount of attention for a hyper-local platform. We’re reaching your neighbors, your customers, your ideal audience—consistently and affordably.
2️⃣ Compared to Typical Local Outlets
- FCC study: All local news sites combined average just 0.30–0.62 pageviews/person/day (~11.4/month) (source).
- ILoveBabylon.com: 3,000+ impressions per day — well above the norm for a town-focused publisher.
3️⃣ Compared to Local Business Websites
- Typical small biz site: a few hundred to a few thousand monthly impressions.
- ILoveBabylon.com at 85K: 10x–100x more than most — now a true micro-publisher.
4️⃣ What 85K Impressions Can Translate To
📈 Metric | 📊 Conservative Rate | 📬 Monthly Yield (from 85K) |
---|---|---|
Click-through (CTR) to ads/links | 1% | ~850 clicks |
Email sign-up conversion | 10% of clicks | ~85 new subscribers |
Local lead conversion (for listed businesses) | 5–15% | ~40–125 warm leads |
💡 Bottom line: For a website serving a town of ~220K people, 85,000 monthly impressions is strong. It offers real leverage when pitching directory listings or ad placements. As long as those impressions are relevant and well-placed, they can produce serious results for local businesses.
💼 What This Means for Local Businesses
Until now, that traffic has mostly been used to promote community events, local news, and helpful guides like:
- 🏖️ Beaches, Pools, and Spray Parks
- 🎶 Summer Concerts and Outdoor Movies
- 🧺 Fairs, Festivals, and Farmers Markets
But behind the scenes, we’ve been quietly testing local business directory listings—and the results have been outstanding.
From electricians to HVAC techs, painters to pizza shops, small businesses featured on ILoveBabylon.com are seeing:
- ✅ More website visits
- ✅ More Facebook page likes
- ✅ More calls and messages
- ✅ More leads and customers
Now, with the launch of our new BabylonLocal.com Directory, we’re opening up these results to everyone.
🌐 What You’ll Get with a Listing
