Exhibit A
Private Investigators work in Gresham
Gresham is a working city of around 114,000 people east of Portland, and the private investigator work here follows the same patterns as the rest of East Multnomah County: domestic matters, background checks, insurance claims, process service and locating people. The firms serving it are mostly small owner operators and one or two person shops rather than franchises, and many of them cover Gresham alongside Portland and the rest of the east side. Paid search for investigator terms in this market is modest, because the trade runs on referrals and repeat attorney work, so the organic results carry most of the weight when somebody does search. The demand is steady rather than large, and it is spread across a wide area rather than concentrated in one part of the city.
