Publish the “[topic] statistics” page writers have to cite

A “[topic] statistics” page is the query a writer runs when a claim needs a number, so the page that answers it best is cited for years. Aggregate fifty-plus figures traced to primary sources — the filing, the study, the government table — each dated, linked and stated once, with ten quotable one-liners on top. Pick the sub-topic where page one is weak, and stamp the year.

The play

Every post, pitch deck and AI answer needs a number to back a claim, and the writer types “[topic] statistics” at 11pm the night before publishing. Build that page: fifty-plus figures, each traced to the body that produced it, dated, linked, stated once, with a quotable takeaways block on top. The links arrive as citations of the figure itself.

Watch out for

Primary sources only, every URL loaded and the number confirmed on the page — a figure copied from another roundup is the one way this page loses the citation it exists to earn.
Pick the sub-topic where page one is weak, not the head term: at low authority “[category] statistics” belongs to the incumbents, and “[niche] statistics” to whoever writes it first.
Passive links only start once the page ranks. Until then, distribute it: answer the questions it settles, and send the current figure to writers still citing the old one.
Year in the title, visible last-updated date, and a real refresh each quarter — a stale statistics page is replaced, not decayed.
