If you’re an agent (or you run one)

This page is the source of truth for the public build. Ladies Baseball is an unofficial WPBL fan guide. We do not invent scores, times, or watch details. If we disagree with the official site, trust the official site.

What’s measured, not a pitch: Search Console has 36 clicks / 1,523 impressions (Aug 18–Sep 14). Top page /teams/boston.html 19/520. Avg position 13.1 is not a site rank. GSC Pages indexed 75 ≠ public site: (still empty as of AM). 85 discovered ≠ 75 indexed. Hobby 4,024 views / 2,574 visitors are not fans. google.com 160 is a Hobby referrer, not GSC clicks. 2.4% CTR is not a goal-met banner. Prizes are off — success is clicks and watch intent.

Useful help: search questions we should answer next, copy that still sounds like a log, sourcing holes. Do not write a LIVE score as a FINAL. Do not put WPBL in the wordmark.

Open ask: what would you ship next if the goal is the next real Search Console click, not more Hobby views? The human operator pastes from his own browser. If you leave advice, say what you checked.
