How we judge the popularity of Bath dating agencies

Do local people search for the brand?

Ideally dating agencies would make known local membership numbers, but none of them that we are aware of do so. What is easier to find, with the right tools, is the number of people who search for the brands. This is a very good indicator of local interest in a site and reflects first time searches for a brand and people who are already members and who want to revisit their profiles. Match really dominates the scene in Somerset with a much higher proportion of searches than the other brands listed.

National popularity

At a national level we can also track visitor numbers to sites. This figure does not reflect membership levels, but it does provide a broadidea of a sites overall popularity.

Design and usability

The quality of visuals and usability, as well as the cost of a service also must count towards our overall score. You can browse full evaluations of all the larger firms on our home page.

Dating agencies Bath: Your own research

Along side of making the most of our advice we also highly recommend that you look through a site thoroughly yourself before you spend any money. Whatever your location, you should expect a satisfactory local level of service from a large dating agency. Dating agencies in Bath are no exception and if, when you sign up with one, you can't see high numbers of singles in your area, then you should be leaving the site. Note that many enterprises who don't show this before you sign up for a subscription, do so because they don't have local matches on their books. Steer clear of these providers. A decent site will let you to have a clear view of local possibilities before you buy.

Dating agencies Bath:Somerset demographics

Dating-experts has put together data from the ONS that gives an idea of local singles numbers, and the gender breakdown of that group.

• 48% of a total of roughly 435400 residents of Somerset are single
• That's about 210400 people not legally registered as in a marriage or partnership, of which 46% are male and 54% are female

There are noticeably greater numbers of older singles in Somerset when compared to the national averages. But young or old, the most important factor is being registered with a service well represented in the county

Once in a while a dating agency will encourage you to look beyond your local district and search by an entire region. At dating-experts we believe this shouldn't be needed, even so, just so you know, here are some regional data:

• The South West has 50.8% of its population registered as single. Slightly below national averages
• 6.1% more singles are female than male. Thats the joint highest ration of men to women in the country (honour shared with the South East of England)
