Exhibit A
Tax Preparers work in Pueblo
Pueblo has a steady base of tax preparation work. The city has a large number of small storefront and home based preparers alongside the national chains that set up seasonal desks, and the two compete for the same searches. Demand is concentrated in the weeks before the filing deadline, when searches for preparers, filing help and refund questions climb sharply across Pueblo County. Paid search in this trade is active but modest, with the chains bidding on broad terms and independent preparers relying on word of mouth and map listings. The searches are there every season, and the firms that publish useful pages ahead of the rush are the ones in front of people when they start looking.
