Progress

What each site does

Lost Pines Guide

The county directory and the measurement. 1,051 businesses, a map, the score for every site, a free self-serve checker, and the page listing where the county is losing customers.

Bastrop Realty

The property transaction ecosystem — agents, title, lending, inspection, trades and short-term rentals. 303 businesses across eight segments.

Bastrop Builder

Everyone who builds, in the order a build happens — plans, site, frame, systems, finish, outside, supply, remodel. 188 businesses across eight stages.

Bastrop Radio

What reaches the county over the air — the radio dial, antenna television, the ham scene, and Starlink covered factually rather than as advocacy.

Ryan Holiday Fans

Separate track. 539 books indexed from his public archive, a Stoicism primer, four interview articles, and a 5,010-title bookshop catalogue held back pending a conversation.

Known problems, unfixed

83 pages on austinspring.com link to a URL that returns 404. The repair is written and dry-run clean but has not been applied — it is a bulk rewrite on the network's highest-traffic site and is waiting on a human to say go.

Thread links on that BBS are also dead — a different route, and not one to guess at.

211 businesses in the catalogue remain uncategorised, and 126 books on the reading list. Pushing lower means guessing, and a wrong category is worse than an honest “other”.

The bookshop catalogue is built but held back — unlinked and noindex until the shop has been asked.

Honest caveats

These sites launched this week. A listing is a real published page on a real local domain; it is not an audience, and nobody should sell it as one.

The scores measure whether a website is complete. They say nothing about whether a business is any good, and the page says so everywhere it appears.
