Week 3 Part B

The RCL Group
https://therclgroup.net/
The RCL Group is a Private Investigative Company and Security Consulting Business owned by my father.  They currently do not have any social media presence.  The company runs pretty much by word of mouth.  I want to help him to move into social media.

Benchmark Investigations

This private investigation company does not utilize any social media


The large companies are in fact using social media and Facebook appears to be the platform of choice.  I did look into more of the private investigators in southern California and realized that not many are using social media.  I have spoken to my dad and inquired about how they get clients.  He told me again that in his particular business his clients are referrals.  Most PI's have some sort of law and/or legal background with a lot of networking capabilities.

NBI is a large company that has been around since 1967 and employs quite a few people.  Most private investigation companies are sole proprietors that contract out certain jobs keeping their overhead very low.   My dad likes to travel and likes to pick and chose the jobs he takes on, therefore until I start working for him, he does not want to expand too much.
