One of the biggest challenges for any fledgling news website is to quickly build up a loyal following. This not only helps build website authority, but it also helps to attract advertisers to provide the revenue which any business requires to grow.
Magnify PR is proud to be working closely with GBNews.com which, in October, was the fastest-growing news website in the UK for the sixth consecutive month.
According to Press Gazette’s monthly rankings, visits to gbnews.com were up 650% year-on-year as the brand reached an audience of 6.2 million people in September. GB News switched to a new .com URL earlier this year. While the additional URL means that not all growth will be organic, the brand nevertheless is seeing a large growth in its online audience.
Commenting, Nick Owens, founder of Magnify PR, said: “The numbers being delivered by GBNews.com are staggering and huge credit needs to go to their team, led by Geoff Marsh.
“Recent changes to the way news stories are shared via social media have led to many major news publishers struggling to maintain audience numbers.
“But GB News.com bucks the trend. How? They’ve become experts at delivering first class content via journalists who instinctively know what their audience wants. Magnify PR is proud to work with them.”
