Local agency?

There are numerous things to consider when choosing a private investigator. The first thing you should consider is if your investigation agency is really local?.

Is the private investigation agency local to you? For example lets say you typed in your google search, “Private investigators Coventry“. You are met with a page full of web pages with agencies matching your search string right? Wrong! many agencies build websites to cover every large City and town in the country, even going as far as to give the website a domain name with the relevant city in it’s name and advertising blurb spelling out that they offer services in the City you specified. What happens here is you dial the number, some chap in say, Bristol for example will answer, you will tell him your problem and probably reel off road names that he has never heard of and he will say he will get his team on to the job right away. He will then sub contract the job out to to the lowest bidder someone local to the area. So what is wrong with that? The job gets done by a local team anyway you may say.

The problem with that is it is no longer personal. When we take on a job we personally feel obliged to make sure that the job is done professionally, by people we know ie Ourselves! when it is sub contracted out it’s in the hands of the gods what happens. The people carrying out the work are not known to you so they don’t feel any sort of loyalty to you, they will be being paid a lower rate whilst the chap you spoke to on the phone takes the difference in his pocket for doing virtually nothing. Remember the old adage, pay peanuts, get monkeys!

Doing a search for private investigators in my city throws up with all the main results and all the sponsored results about 20 different agencies, out of that 20 only 2 are really based here, Fact! When we take on a task your problem becomes our problem and we endeavour to see it through to a successful conclusion as we will have a professional loyalty to you. Take great care before you employ anyone, make sure you scrutinise their website for tell tale signs that they are not based where they say they are.
