Good question! While those apps are good for certain things, they can only search what’s online and a matter of public record.
Have you ever Googled yourself? I have and what I found was filled with inaccuracies; basic things like where I lived when I was young- by the way, they weren’t even close as to where I was born-and where I went to school.
When considering a background check, consider it like this: You do an online search for restaurants near you. You go through and look at the menu and you ask yourself, “I wonder if the food is any good?”, so you go to Yelp and read reviews from people who have actually been there. That is what a Private Investigator does. We provide a more detailed review of the person being investigated.
Professional Investigators, such as the people here at Michael Guadagno & Associates, not only do in-depth online searches, but also go out and talk to neighbors, employers, known associates, former teachers, and even dog walkers and pet sitters. We provide the details you won’t find online. Those online background check services can only go so far. Much of their information is “stale-dated”, meaning that their information could be a year old or more. With Michael Guadagno & Associates, our information is updated daily and in most cases, several times a day, ensuring that the information you have is not only accurate, but timely.
When you employ a Private Investigator, you know that you are getting firsthand knowledge about someone. You are getting witnessed behaviors, activities, and preferences and these are things that you can never get from a computer. Remember, the information that you are paying for is only as good as the source. With a Professional Private Investigator, you are getting a real source, not some information that was put into a computer.
