LGAM pages are now the top Google search result for 30+ local government related terms. This is great for the site, and a great example of how powerful free & open information sharing can be. It also shows that information hidden away behind a paywall or in a members only area is a lot harder to find than information placed in a public website. And it means when Local Government people search for information about subjects like Asset Management Plans or Gravel Resheeting or Kerb & Channel they are probably going to find it here rather than in a book or manual. Hopefully other organisations with information of value to Local Government take note, and start making their information more freely available too.
The graph below shows how the number of visits via search has increased over time.
