Exhibit A
Tax Preparers work in Allentown
Allentown has a steady base of tax preparation work. The city and the Lehigh Valley around it hold a mix of national chains, small owner operated offices and storefront preparers, and they all compete for the same seasonal searches. People search for help with a return, for a preparer near them, for someone who knows Pennsylvania rules and for someone who can handle a small business filing. The searches cluster in the weeks before the filing deadline and again when extensions come due. Paid search in this trade is expensive in season because the chains bid hard on the same terms. That leaves the organic results and the AI answers as the places where a smaller Allentown firm can be found without outbidding anyone.
