Should Surveyors Be Alarmed?

Posted by ⚡Survenator⌁ on November 28, 2017 at 3:00pm

While doing a little research into search trends for Land Surveying and Land Surveyors using Google trends, it is quite interesting to see that overall, searches for land surveyors worldwide have gone down significantly since 2008. Would you venture to state your opinion as to why this might be the case?

Should Land Surveyors as a whole be alarmed by this downward spiral in search?

Do you have any ideas as to how we might inject a better image of surveyors to the world?
