Education Expo
Since the Education Expo ( nearly a month ago ) our site has seen a substantial increase in the number of hits and even more importantly in the amount of time people spend on the site – trying to find the right school for their child. Lots of visitors are spending up to 15 minutes ( and a couple a lot more ) using the advanced search filter to search through various school features and find the right school for their child.
The site has had over 35,000 hits in the first half of July and this shows that recent surveys that highlighted the massive increase in the use of the interent as the PRIMARY tool for directory style services were in fact quite correct.
We have had hits from as far afield as the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Poland, Turkey and Europe – many of our visitors are international parents who are relocating and looking for the most appropriate school here in Australia.
We have also had a large number of parents who are searching at primary school age – a reflection of the level of interest and also value placed in the choice of school for your child.
We look forward to adding some new features in the near future – we are currently adding data in over 40 fields on each school to allow for far more detailed searches and help in finding the right school for your child !
