Founding Months Data Archive

Original Pride Town Connect website-performance reports preserved from the platform’s earliest months online. This archive keeps the source evidence accessible without forcing every PDF to load when the page opens.

LOAD //
Lightweight by design: original PDF reports remain available, but none are embedded or preloaded. A report loads only after a visitor chooses View PDF or Download PDF.

Transparency was built in from the beginning.

Transparency has been one of Pride Town Connect’s core founding principles since the platform’s first days online. We began preserving and publishing website-performance evidence during the founding months because businesses and visitors should be able to see the data behind the platform—not just a marketing claim.

These reports remain public so the platform’s early growth can be checked against original, date-stamped source material. Keeping the history visible also prevents launch-period growth from being presented as though it were current traffic.

OWNERSHIP + OPERATING HISTORY // 2023 -> PRESENT

Pride Town Connect is owned and operated by The Vanguard Advertising Agency, LLC.

Vanguard Advertising Agency, LLC was founded in October 2023. Pride Town Connect moved through development and testing during 2023 before its public launch on August 1, 2024. The platform became Vanguard's flagship LGBTQIA+ visibility and community project, combining national discovery, inclusive advertising, search strategy, community resources and brand visibility.

BASELINE // AUG–SEP 2024

Founding-Month Snapshot

Selected figures preserved from Pride Town Connect’s first weeks and early growth period. Historical launch data is intentionally kept separate from today’s stabilized performance reporting.

Active users 187,171 Published archive figure for Aug. 1–Sept. 22, 2024.
Page views 862,524 Published archive figure for Aug. 1–Sept. 22, 2024.
Listing views / events 2,402,804 Published archive figure for Aug. 1–Sept. 22, 2024.
GROWTH_MILESTONE // 2024→AUG 14, 2025

From launch to the first-million-user milestone

A Google Analytics snapshot captured on August 14, 2025 documented Pride Town Connect crossing the one-million active-user mark during the platform’s first year online.

Active users 1,033,275 Exact active-user total shown in the Google Analytics trend snapshot.
Event count 9.47M Total Google Analytics events displayed in the captured dashboard.
Views 3.52M Total views displayed in the captured Google Analytics dashboard.
Avg. engagement time 00:05:51 Average engagement time shown in the August 14, 2025 snapshot.
Source context: the captured GA4 dashboard displayed a selected date range of July 1, 2021–August 14, 2025. Pride Town Connect did not launch until August 2024, and the activity trend shown in the dashboard begins in the 2024 portion of that range. This archive therefore presents the screenshot as a 2024→2025 platform-growth milestone, rather than implying the website had traffic before launch.
REPORTING_PROTOCOL // CURRENT

Why we no longer produce a full PDF every month

Pride Town Connect is a small, founder-led platform. As the website expanded, producing and formatting a separate public PDF every month became a poor use of limited operating time. We now concentrate that work into a concise, easier-to-read current performance report while preserving the original founding-month documents here.

01 / QUARTERLY

Scheduled review

Current CPM, listing-view and visibility benchmarks are reviewed and condensed into the Website Statistics reporting system at least quarterly.

02 / MATERIAL_CHANGE

Earlier updates when warranted

If the CPM average or another key visibility benchmark changes materially before the next quarterly review, the public statistics can be updated sooner.

03 / SOURCE_HISTORY

Original evidence stays available

Historical Google Analytics and Search Console reports are retained here so current summaries do not erase or rewrite the platform’s founding-month record.

PLATFORM_EXPANSION // MAY–AUGUST 8, 2026

From founding-month traffic to a national discovery network

The historical reports above and below document where Pride Town Connect began. Between May and August 8, 2026, the platform entered a major expansion period: building deeper national collections, metropolitan guides, regional community pathways, bilingual discovery pages, and new community destinations. These links show what that growth became.

35metro markets represented through the national discovery hub
5cornerstone metropolitan guides with deeper local pathways
20additional LGBTQIA+ city and metropolitan communities
10growing metro markets positioned for continued development
CORNERSTONE_METROS // DIRECT LINKS

Five metropolitan guides built for deeper local discovery

Each cornerstone guide connects visitors to localized restaurants, healthcare, legal services, professional services, neighborhoods, travel information, community resources, and additional category pathways.

Why include expansion links in a statistics archive? Traffic numbers are most useful when visitors can see what the audience is actually able to discover. The archive documents the platform’s early performance; the linked network documents how Pride Town Connect used that foundation to build a broader national, metropolitan, regional, business and community discovery system.
FOUNDING_DATA_WINDOW // SEP_01_2024 -> DEC_04_2024

Founding Pride Town Connect Data
September 1, 2024 to December 4, 2024

This archive groups the platform's founding-period analytics and source reports under this reporting window. Individual Google Analytics and Search Console files retain the exact dates shown in the original reports, so some source snapshots may begin slightly earlier or end earlier within the launch period.

FAQ // REPORTING + TRANSPARENCY

About the Data Archive

How Pride Town Connect preserves historical reporting and handles current website-performance updates.

Why does Pride Town Connect publish website statistics?

Transparency has been part of the platform’s philosophy since the founding months. Public reporting gives visitors and prospective advertisers reporting dates, source evidence and context for understanding how Pride Town Connect has developed.

Are these the original Google Analytics reports?

Yes. The PDF buttons point directly to the original historical files retained on PrideTownConnect.com. They are not recreated graphics or newly generated marketing summaries.

Why are full monthly PDF reports no longer produced?

Pride Town Connect operates with a small team, and preparing a separate public PDF every month requires time that can be better used maintaining the platform, supporting discovery and serving advertisers. Current reporting is therefore condensed into a sustainable public statistics format instead of duplicating the same reporting work every month.

How often are current performance figures reviewed?

Current CPM, listing-view and visibility benchmarks are reviewed at least quarterly. If the CPM average or another meaningful benchmark changes materially before the next quarterly review, the public report may be updated sooner.

Where can I find the latest Pride Town Connect statistics?

The latest public-facing benchmarks are maintained on the Website Statistics page. This archive is intentionally focused on the founding months and original historical evidence.

Why keep old reports when the platform has grown?

Because the date matters. A launch-period spike and a stabilized operating period are not interchangeable. Preserving older reports lets visitors see what was reported at the time and compare historical growth with current performance more responsibly.

What does CPM mean on Pride Town Connect?

CPM is a cost-per-thousand visibility benchmark: advertising spend divided by views or impressions, multiplied by 1,000. It is used as a familiar way to discuss advertising visibility, not as a promise of leads or sales.

Do website statistics guarantee advertiser results?

No. Website traffic, listing views and CPM describe visibility. They do not guarantee Google rankings, leads, appointments, conversions, sales or revenue for any individual business.

What does the August 2025 one-million-user snapshot show?

The preserved Google Analytics dashboard showed 1,033,275 active users, 9.47 million events, 3.52 million views and an average engagement time of 5 minutes 51 seconds at the time the screenshot was captured on August 14, 2025.

Why does the Google Analytics screenshot show dates before Pride Town Connect launched?

The GA4 dashboard had a broad July 1, 2021–August 14, 2025 date range selected. Pride Town Connect launched in August 2024, and the visible activity trend begins in 2024. The earlier dates are part of the selected analytics range, not a claim that Pride Town Connect had traffic before launch.
