A network of this size comprised entirely of professional land surveyors and geospatial professionals naturally attracts LOADS of search engine traffic when anyone searches for land surveying services. For this reason, I monitor new member signups VERY closely, so as to maintain exclusivity for the industry. It is like a library of surveying information, which serves a dual purpose. It is helpful for surveyors to find support and offer support through sharing of knowledge and experience, but it is also equally, if not more effective for attracting business from those searching for surveying businesses to perform work. I know this for a fact because I built it to perform in this manner. Of course, the ways in which you utilize this to your advantage are entirely up to you, but if you are not using it with this in mind, you are simply missing the boat. With that said, here are a few ways that you can use LSU in the future to make your life and business online simpler, more effective and to your advantage.
