You can find out exactly, for free, without asking anyone. Wikipedia publishes daily view counts for every article, going back years, through a public tool anyone can use. Look up your article and you get its real readership, not an estimate. Look up your competitors' articles and you get theirs too. Nothing is private: everyone's numbers are available to everyone.
Reading the numbers takes a little practice. Most company articles show a steady baseline with occasional sharp spikes. The spikes mark days when something sent people to look you up: usually news, sometimes a viral moment, now and then something worth investigating. The baseline is how often people check on you in an ordinary week, a reasonable stand-in for how often journalists, job candidates, customers, and analysts are researching you.
Two good habits: look at the trend every quarter rather than every day, and always compare your numbers with two or three competitors'. On its own, a view count tells you very little.
