Review Policy
Smart Start comparison pages, resource recommendations, and ebook placements should exist because they help the reader solve the current job, not because they fill a template slot.
Selection criteria
Recommendations should explain why the fit changes for a beginner buyer, a cautious homeowner, or someone pricing a repair decision after the report.
Commercial guardrail
If an owned ebook or outside product does not genuinely help the page intent, it does not belong on the page.
Start with the page that matches your stage
- Start with the article, checklist, or red flag that matches your actual stage instead of reading everything in order.
- Use the buyer guides before the walkthrough, the issue guides after the report, and the maintenance pages after move-in.
- Treat the ebook and checklist pages as tools that extend the guides, not as replacements for the education itself.
- Keep the final walkthrough, glossary, and support pages close so you can verify terms, timing, and next steps quickly.
Go deeper without leaving the same topic cluster
- Start with the first-time buyer path if you are still pre-closing.
- Open the inspection checklists when you need a room-by-room or system-by-system walkthrough.
- Use the red flag hub when you need to compare urgency, likely cost, and negotiation impact.
- Review the closing questions guide before you talk repairs, credits, or timing.
- Check the glossary when a report term or repair note feels vague.
