What Google Can’t Tell You: Why Databases Matter

Private Investigator Reviewing Secure Database Interface

Google is powerful—but it’s not omniscient.

Sure, you can type in a name and maybe find a LinkedIn profile, a news article, or a few public social posts. But when it comes to real investigative work—finding hidden assets, verifying identity, exposing fraud, or conducting due diligence—Google barely scratches the surface.

At The SIU, we go much deeper.

🚧 The Problem with Public Searches

Search engines are designed for surface-level results:

• Social media posts

• Websites

• Articles

• Forums

But what about:

• Civil and criminal court filings?

• Vehicle registrations in multiple states?

• Employment history not listed online?

• Known associates, aliases, or concealed property ownership?

You won’t find those on page 1 of Google.

🔐 What We Use: Specialized Databases

Our licensed investigators use proprietary and regulated databases not available to the general public. These include:

✅ Credit header data (non-credit-reporting, legal access only)

✅ National and state-level court searches

✅ Property and asset records

✅ Utility records

✅ Professional licensing checks

✅ Historical address data

✅ SSN verification and alias tracing

These tools require rigorous vetting, training, and legal compliance to access—and they make all the difference.

💼 Real Case Example

A corporate client came to us with suspicions about a new business partner. Google showed glowing reviews and a spotless LinkedIn profile. But our deep-dive revealed:

• Two previous bankruptcies

• A string of failed LLCs

• An ongoing fraud lawsuit in another state

• A history of using a different legal name

Needless to say, the partnership was paused—and the client was spared a six-figure loss.

👣 Why This Matters to You

Whether you’re:

• Vetting a potential employee

• Investigating a cheating partner

• Preparing for litigation

• Trying to locate a missing person

• Or just making sure someone is who they claim to be…

You need more than Google. You need The SIU.
