Exhibit A
Tax Preparers work in Palmdale
Palmdale runs on a mix of national tax chains along the Antelope Valley corridor and independent preparers who work the east side and the older tracts near the boulevard. The demand is seasonal and heavy: filers search for preparers, bookkeeping help and IRS problem resolution, and the paid search around filing season is contested by the chains. Franchises hold the storefront visibility while owner operators pick up the referrals and the repeat clients. The searches are there every year, and the firms that publish pages for them are the ones that get found.
