The blotter · Between filings

The desk
log.

Field notes and findings between filings: the small catches that don't need a 700-row dossier to be worth putting on the record. Short, dated, sourced.

006Filed 2026-09-04The desk itself · EyeCarePro file

The desk raises its own headline number.

The EyeCarePro file was filed on part of that agency's client roster, with more of it still to scan. A second pass has now scanned another 738 practices and added them, on the same phrase, “glasses near me”, and the same 121-pin grid the first tranche was measured on. The file moves from 710 practices to 1,448. The same pass went back to practices already in the book that trade from more than one storefront and scanned those other locations too, 161 of them belonging to 65 practices, so the file now stands on 1,609 scanned grids across 1,448 practices. A further 28 locations were found on the clients' own sites, are listed in the file, and were not scanned; they are counted in none of the numbers below.

The site totals move with it, and this time both move the same way. Businesses measured: 906 becomes 1,644, which is the 738 practices added and nothing else, because neither of the other two files changed. Map points recorded: 131,285 becomes 240,064. The difference of 108,779 is 121 pins on each of the 738 new practice grids, 89,298 of them, plus 121 pins on each of the 161 additional storefront grids, 19,481 of them. Entry 004 cut this desk's headline number; this one raises it. Both are on the record, and for the same reason: the corrections policy binds this desk first, whichever way the figure moves.

004Filed 2026-08-23The desk itself · RankReallyHigh file

The desk cuts its own headline number.

The RankReallyHigh file went back through attribution review, client by client. Part of that roster had been assembled from a backlink index, and a backlink index remembers clients an agency no longer has. Forty-seven of the 146 domains in the file did not belong in an active client book: 36 had left the agency, 5 had moved to a named rival, 4 could not be resolved either way, 1 was never a client at all, and 1 was a charity site carrying the agency's credit markers rather than a client engagement. Those 47 client pages are withdrawn. The file now stands at 99 verified-active clients, measured exactly as before.

The site totals move with it. Businesses measured: 953 becomes 906. Map points recorded go the other way, 128,260 becomes 131,285, because the same review also resolved 25 storefronts the first pass had missed, and 255 storefront scans became 280. A correction that runs in both directions is still a correction, and both directions are on the record. The corrections policy binds this desk first; this is what it costs when the file being corrected is ours.

A client domain redirects to the agency's terminated-service page.

fairfieldohchiropractor.com does not resolve to a clinic. It redirects to demandboost.com/service-status/terminated, a page on the agency's own domain, standing on the domain that carried Evans Chiropractic of Fairfield, Ohio. A terminated page holds no map and answers no patient. Run the redirect yourself; it takes one paste.

002Filed 2026-08-20DemandBoost file · Aloha Family Chiropractic

A winner's domain is serving a gambling site.

alohafamilychiro.com belongs to Aloha Family Chiropractic of Santa Maria, California, one of the 13 DemandBoost clients holding a winning share of their own map. Load the domain today and there is no chiropractor. It serves an Indonesian sports-betting page, title tag and all. This desk first logged the hijack on 2026-08-05. Fifteen days on, it is still live. The only question that matters: who is watching the sites the client pays for?

001Filed 2026-08-19The desk itself

The desk corrects itself.

The front page carried 807 businesses measured and 116,765 map points. Both were stale the moment the RankReallyHigh file landed. Recomputed from the three published books and corrected to 953 businesses and 128,260 map points, on the record, the same way any agency's error would be handled. The corrections policy binds this desk first.
