The job
Surveyors work in Boston
Boston property owners search for surveyors all year, and the demand is steady rather than seasonal. The city's housing stock is old and dense, with a lot of two and three family buildings, condo conversions and small commercial premises changing hands, and each of those transactions can start a search for a boundary survey, a plot plan or a flood elevation certificate. The searches are local: people type the service and the neighbourhood, or the service and Boston, and they are looking for a firm they can call that week. Paid search in the trade is modest compared with the big consumer categories, which means the organic results and the map results carry most of the clicks. The firms showing up are a mix of small owner run practices and a few larger outfits, and the ones that publish useful pages about Boston property types tend to hold the ground.
