The Opportunity

Educated Search Inc. is an Internet-based company which provides search solutions for educational institution websites. Educated Search (ES) lets schools capitalize on the synergies of the growth of paid search advertising and rising demand for more relevant internet search results for local products and services. ES provides schools a truly unique and profitable business opportunity.

ES presents schools the opportunity to positively participate in five powerful trends:

• The growing need for schools to raise unrestricted funds to support both
• curriculum and non-curriculum activities.
• The monetization of educational web sites as a source of unrestricted funds.
• The shift of advertiser spending from traditional “mass” methods to more
• targeted methods using the internet to reach consumers.
• The growth of the Internet as an important tool in the learning process and

• to advertising when they want advertising.
