Is Your website Actually Bringing in Customers?
We're Sparqflow — we do web design right here in Dublin. If your website hasn't sent you a new customer in a while, that's a fixable problem, not a fact of life.
We recently took one local business from a quiet site to a 74% traffic jump and 200% more leads in two months.
Curious what that could look like for your business?

Getting Too Many Political Texts?
As we get closer to the midterms, people around Dublin are getting more and more political texts.
So can you actually get them to stop?
Well, sort of. If you know the text is from a legitimate campaign or political group, replying STOP should get you off their list. It won’t do anything about all the other groups that have your number, though. And putting yourself on the National Do Not Call Registry won’t fix it either. Political organizations are generally exempt.
Where it gets a little tricky is when you don’t know who’s actually sending the text. In that case, don’t reply STOP. If it’s a scammer, you’ve just let them know there’s a real person on the other end. Instead, report the text as spam or forward it to 7726 (SPAM).
And I realize that telling someone to “report it as spam” isn’t particularly helpful if you don’t know how to do that.
So if that’s you, Apple has instructions here for iPhones, and Google has them here for Android phones.
Not a perfect solution. But at least now you know which ones to answer — and which ones to leave alone.

How Many Dublin Students Actually Finish College?
We know a lot of Dublin students head off to college after high school. But getting into college and actually graduating from college are two different things.
So how many Dublin students actually end up with a degree?
Until recently, that wasn’t particularly easy to answer. But the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce just released a new tool that follows graduates for six years after high school, including whether they enrolled in college and whether they eventually earned a degree.
And the Dublin number is pretty interesting.
For Dublin’s Class of 2018, 60.1% had earned at least a bachelor’s degree six years later. Overall, 64.8% had earned a college degree of some kind.
That’s more than twice the statewide rate. Across Ohio, 28.3% of 2018 graduates had earned a bachelor’s degree within six years. And if you’re wondering how we compare with Olentangy, they’re just a little higher at 63.2%.
So we hear a lot about where Dublin students are headed after graduation. Now we have a better idea of what happens after they get there.

A Note From Nick
You Asked How to Help. Here’s How.
A few of you have reached out asking how you can support Dublin Daily — and honestly, it means a lot just to hear that. Here's what actually helps.
The single biggest thing: forward this to a neighbor, a friend, or anyone who loves Dublin and might not know we exist yet. Word of mouth is everything for a local newsletter. Or just share dublinohiodaily.com next time Dublin comes up in conversation.
If you ever have a tip — a local business worth spotlighting, an event coming up, something happening in your neighborhood — hit reply and tell us. That's the fuel that keeps this going.
We also have sponsors who make Dublin Daily free. If something catches your eye, click their links — it makes a real difference.
Thanks for being here. Dublin is a better place to live when we're all looking out for each other — and that's really what all this is about.
