2007 end of year report

Sunday, January 6th, 2008

Happy new year!

As EdinburghMenus.com went live at the end of June 2007 (the 25th to be precise), we thought that the end of 2007 would be a good time to take a look at out progress as it is 6 months since we went live.

Overall, the site has been doing well. After 6 months we have accumulated well over 600 independent user reviews and 871 businesses listed on the site. In the first few months, traffic to the site was predictably very low - we had no marketing budget and planned for the site to become popular through getting higher and higher up in Google results and by word of mouth. As you can see from our Google Analytics graph below, we have been getting steadily more traffic throughout 2007. At launch, we were attracting between 15 and 25 visitors per day but in the run up to Christmas over 250 were visiting daily - even 34 people managed to drag themselves away from The Queen’s Speech and new toys to visit on Christmas Day!

We’ve got a great big list of new features we want to add to the site and we plan on rolling those out as soon as possible. Keep an eye on this blog for updates!
