Exhibit A
Tax Preparers work in Santa Rosa
Santa Rosa is a city of small firms and owner operators rather than a market dominated by national chains, and tax preparation here reflects that. The searches come from households and small businesses across Sonoma County looking for someone local to handle a return, a back tax problem or a year of bookkeeping. Demand is steady through filing season and continues for amended returns, notices and planning once the deadline passes. The volume of searches is modest compared with a metro the size of San Francisco, which means the pages that answer specific local questions can hold their place in results for a long time.
