Statistics for SEO Agencies and Content Teams: Free, Sourced and Ready to Cite

Advanton publishes statistics for SEO agencies, content marketers and consultants who need credible, sourced figures for client articles, landing pages, pitches and reports. Every figure comes from an official source, such as the US Census Bureau, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the World Bank or India’s Ministry of Statistics, and every page shows the source, the date and how to cite it.

Find a statistic fast

  • Industry statistics roundups: the key figures for an industry on one page, with US and India data. Restaurants, retail, ecommerce, beauty and salons, clothing and apparel, automotive, home services and contractors, healthcare practices, grocery, real estate and rental, education and tutoring and fitness.
  • Search 8,700+ statistics: Advanton Statistics covers consumer spending, small businesses, markets, jobs and pay, and 39 indicators for 217 countries.
  • Ask a question in plain words: Find answers and Ask Advanton return the figure, the chart and the source.
  • Market sizes: estimates for 200 business types in India and US household spending categories, with the method shown.
  • Your client’s location: state and country dashboards show how a place ranks on every measure.

Cite and link correctly

You are welcome to use Advanton’s figures in client content. When you publish online:

  1. Credit the original agency (for example, the Bureau of Labor Statistics) and Advanton.
  2. Link to the Advanton statistic page you used. The page is the citation: it shows the source, the period and the method.
  3. Keep the period and unit with the number, for example "in 2025, per household".

Each statistic page has ready-made APA, MLA and Chicago citations. See how to cite Advanton.

Embed charts in client articles

Each statistic page has an Embed button with code you can paste into a WordPress post or any website. Embedded charts are free, stay up to date, and include a link back to the statistic page as the citation. Chart images can be shared with a link to the page; Excel, PowerPoint, CSV and image downloads are available with a free account.

Avoid the mistakes clients get corrected on

  • Category vs market: a household spending category is not one business’s market. India’s ₹9.12 lakh crore drinks, snacks and processed food category is not the bakery market, which is about ₹1.1 lakh crore (why).
  • Nominal vs real: spending growth before inflation is not growth in what people buy (why).
  • Projections vs measured data: "India is the 4th-largest economy" depends on the source (why).
  • Store type vs spending: "Americans spend more at restaurants than on groceries" is not what the data shows (why).

Content ideas from new data

  • Data stories: surprising findings with charts, ready to reference or build on.
  • Data update log: what changed in Advanton’s data and when, so content can use the latest figures.

For client pitches and market research

  • The India Market Report Builder produces a market overview for any business type and state.
  • How to calculate market size walks through TAM, SAM and SOM with worked examples.

Questions

Can we use Advanton statistics in client content?
