Engineering and Surveying Industry Blogs

Action needed to proceed

Before I compile this, a quick check: what metric would you like me to use for “number of readers”? Common options are (a) estimated monthly site visits (Similarweb), (b) unique monthly visitors (Google Analytics if publicly shared), or (c) email/newsletter subscribers. I’ll default to Similarweb’s average monthly visits from the last 3 months as of August 2025 unless you prefer differently. Also, do you want to include corporate vendor blogs (e.g., Esri, Trimble, Leica) alongside independent publications? Reply “use Similarweb + include vendor blogs” to proceed and I’ll deliver the alphabetized list of 20 with names, blurbs, medium, reader counts, and links.
