Authority Building Roadmap

This roadmap leans on trust assets, sharper service positioning, and stronger internal paths between related professional intents.

Real estate SEO operates in a FINRA-adjacent regulatory environment (e.g., truth-in-advertising for commissions, fair housing compliance). Use Outrank’s automated compliance checker to flag high-risk phrases (e.g., 'guaranteed ROI' or 'exclusive listings'), then cross-validate with Screaming Frog’s custom extraction to audit meta descriptions, alt text, and internal links for fair housing violations (e.g., 'family-friendly' vs. 'no kids').

  1. FINRA Rule 2210: Disclose commission structures in schema markup (see Phase 03).

  2. Fair Housing Act: Avoid discriminatory language in URLs (e.g., /luxury-homes-for-professionals → /move-up-homes).

  3. ADA Compliance: Ensure 100% of PDF floor plans pass WCAG 2.1 AA (use axe DevTools + Outrank’s accessibility module).

Run Outrank’s 'Regulatory Risk Scan' to flag non-compliant CTAs (e.g., 'Get rich quick with flipping').

Use Screaming Frog to crawl all PDFs (floor plans, disclosures) and verify text layer extraction for screen readers.

Audit Google Search Console’s 'Coverage' report for 'Crawled - Not Indexed' pages (prioritize fixing /listings/ URLs).

Implement Cloudflare Workers to block scrapers (e.g., Zillow bots) without violating robots.txt (use Outrank’s bot mitigation template).
