Exhibit A
Accountants work in Chesapeake
Chesapeake runs on small businesses, and small businesses need bookkeeping, payroll and tax help. The city is spread across South Norfolk, Great Bridge, Western Branch, Greenbrier and the rural edges toward the North Carolina line, and much of the accounting work follows the same pattern: owner operated firms serving clients within a short drive. Search demand for accounting services here is steady rather than dramatic, and it clusters around tax season and around the moments when a business changes shape, such as a new LLC filing or a first payroll hire. The searches are local and specific, which means a firm that publishes pages for the neighbourhoods and the situations it actually handles can be found by people who are already looking.
