Reach Catholic families who are already looking
People come to Discover Catholic Business having typed what they need. Below are our real audience numbers and the placement, promotion and data options we actually offer.
No inflated impression counts, no invented demographics, no borrowed case studies.
The audience, measured
Tracked page views from our own analytics, 30 days to September 22, 2026. Page views, not unique visitors.
Most of that traffic arrives from organic search, where someone has typed what they are looking for. Google, Bing and DuckDuckGo are the largest referrers, and AI assistants now send a small but growing share.
Roughly 450 of those visits ended in a click through to a business website, a little under 1 percent of listing views. That is the honest conversion figure, and it is the number to judge any placement here against.
DCB does not run an ad server and does not track individuals across the web. There is no audience segment data, no retargeting and no third party pixel, so no demographic profile is offered on this page.
What we actually offer
Six options, all of them live today. Placement inside the directory, done for you packages, a widget for parishes, and data for organizations selling to Catholic institutions.
Premier listing
The most prominent placement DCB sells, plus editorial promotion across the channels we actually publish on.
- Listed first, above every other tier, on category, city and browse pages
- Premier badge on your listing page
- Monthly spotlight in the DCB newsletter
- An annual blog spotlight post
- Quarterly social media features
Homepage Featured section
Eight rotating slots on the homepage, shared between Premium, Partner and Premier listings. Placement rotates rather than being sold outright.
- Eligibility begins at the Premium tier
- Eight slots, rotating
- Priority placement on category, city and browse pages
- Tier badge on your listing page
Storefront
For a business that needs the groundwork built and maintained, not just a listing: a template website on your own domain, a Google Business Profile kept current, and a Premium DCB listing.
- Template website with hosting and maintenance
- Google Business Profile set up, with two posts a month
- Premium DCB listing kept complete for you
- A one page report every quarter
Practice Partners
A retainer for Catholic owned professional practices: realtors, advisors, attorneys, dentists and CPAs. A site you own, local SEO, and AI search reporting built around your compliance rules.
- A custom website you own outright
- Local search and AI visibility work
- Monthly reporting
- Placement in the directory included
Parish business finder
For parishes and Catholic organizations rather than advertisers. One line of HTML puts a live, searchable directory on your own website, and it updates itself.
- Searches the full directory in real time
- Nobody at the parish has to maintain a list
- No contract and no setup fee
- Cancel at any time
Data products
Contact directories compiled from public sources, delivered as a spreadsheet. Useful if your market is Catholic institutions rather than Catholic families.
- Parish directories, nationally or by state
- NCES verified Catholic school data
- Newman Center and campus ministry directory
- Delivered as XLSX, no subscription
What we do not offer
Worth saying plainly, so nobody spends a call finding out.
- Display ad units or banners. There is no ad server on this site.
- Category exclusivity or sponsored category headers.
- Geo targeted or diocese targeted ad campaigns.
- Standalone newsletter ad placements. Newsletter promotion exists only as part of the Premier tier.
- Audience segment targeting or retargeting. No third party tracking pixel runs here.
What you can measure
- Listing page views for your own listing, in your dashboard.
- Badge impressions and clicks, if you embed the member badge on your site.
- Click throughs from your listing to your website.
- For Storefront, a one page report every quarter. For Practice Partners, monthly reporting.
Why we build this
An economy ordered to Christ
Economic activity should serve human dignity and the common good. Connecting Catholic families with faithful businesses is a small part of that work.
Catholic social teaching
Subsidiarity, solidarity and the universal destination of goods are not slogans here. They are the reason a directory like this is worth building.
Community over competition
Placement is never auctioned to the highest bidder in a way that buries everyone else. Free listings stay complete and findable.
The dignity of work
Business owners provide for families, create jobs and serve their neighbours. That vocation deserves to be easy to find.
Questions
How big is your audience, really?
Over the 30 days to September 22, 2026, DCB recorded about 50,800 listing page views across roughly 26,000 different businesses, plus about 2,800 city page views and 2,700 parish page views. Around 59,000 tracked page events in total. Those are page views rather than unique visitors, and they come from our own analytics table. We would rather give you a modest number we can stand behind than an impressive one we cannot.
Who visits the directory?
People searching for a specific kind of business, usually arriving from a search engine having typed something like "Catholic financial advisor near me". We do not profile visitors, so we cannot tell you their income, age or how often they attend Mass. Anyone quoting you those figures for a site this size is guessing.
Can I buy a banner or a sponsored category?
No. There is no ad server on this site and no banner inventory. What we sell is placement within the directory itself, through the listing tiers, plus editorial promotion at the Premier tier and the done for you packages. If you need display advertising, DCB is not the right buy.
Is every business in the directory Catholic owned?
No, and we are careful about this. Many listings came from parish bulletins and public directories, where the business supports a parish as an advertiser or sponsor without being Catholic owned. We describe those as community supporters rather than implying ownership. Ownership is confirmed when an owner claims their listing.
What reporting do I get?
For a listing, your dashboard shows views of your listing, click throughs to your website, and badge impressions and clicks if you embed the badge. Storefront includes a quarterly report and Practice Partners includes monthly reporting. There is no custom campaign reporting, because there are no campaigns to report on.
What is the minimum commitment?
Listing tiers, the Storefront package and the parish widget are all month to month with no contract and no cancellation fee. If you cancel a paid listing it reverts to the free tier rather than disappearing, and the information you entered is kept. Practice Partners has an initial term, set out on its own page.
Do you have case studies?
Not yet, and we are not going to invent any. DCB is a small and growing directory. When a partner has results worth publishing and is willing to be named, they will appear here.
