Exhibit A
Bookkeepers work in Virginia Beach
Virginia Beach has a steady base of small businesses that need bookkeeping: seasonal hospitality operators along the Oceanfront, contractors working the rebuilding and renovation trade, and the retail and service firms spread through the suburban corridors off Virginia Beach Boulevard and Independence Boulevard. The city also carries a large military connected population, and many spouses run small firms from home that need monthly books kept. Demand for bookkeeping searches here is spread across owner operators and small local practices rather than dominated by national franchises, so the searches people make tend to name the city or a neighbourhood rather than a brand. The paid search market around bookkeeping terms in Hampton Roads is modest compared with larger metros, which keeps the cost of being visible through organic pages low for a firm that publishes consistently.
