Goal of this post At Global Owls, we believe organizations can become much more effective when they ask for help. We’ve experienced the power of receiving advice from professionals first hand on our project page. These pieces of advice allowed us to improve this platform and we will continue to welcome anyone to contribute. Because Global Owls is being developed by the community, for the community. We would love to share some common monthly achievements.

Global Owls vision Professionals A world where every individual believes in his or her own capabilities of changing the world for the better. World-changing organizations People and organizations committed to doing good, receiving all the help they need.

Platform for about 60% SEO friendly The platform is far from optimally SEO optimized, but we’ve made some steps last month. For instance: all professional profiles automatically get unique Meta Tags inserted. This is a very scalable way to receive search traffic.

Improving the platform / value we add Added pictures of project owners on project page Thanks to Damir’s advice, we’ve added picture of project owners on every project page to make requesting for advice more personal. Added the 5 second test Thanks to Francisco’s advice, we’ve added the 5 second test to empower anyone to make an impact. Francisco contacted us and said he would love to get involved but he saw that many requests were marketing related. As a developer, he couldn’t give advice. Now, with the 5 second test, anyone can! Improved lay out, colors, and mobile friendly design Introduced Global Owls Share Twitter account To be able to help partners to get even more online exposure, we’ve introduced Global Owls Share where we can share posts more freely.
