Fair housing

We advertise on intent, not identity.

Housing advertising has rules most marketing doesn't. Maurice targets on what buyers are searching for and doing, not on who they are.

The rules

Housing ads are different.

Under the Fair Housing Act and its equivalents, it is unlawful to advertise housing in a way that discriminates on a protected basis: race, color, religion, sex, familial status, national origin, or disability. In digital advertising, that risk sits mostly in targeting: choosing who sees an ad by age, gender, family status, or ZIP code, or by data that stands in for those things.

Maurice works the other way. It targets on what buyers are actively doing: the properties they search for and the pages they engage with, not on protected characteristics or proxies for them.

How we target

Intent, not demographics.

Maurice reaches buyers two ways. On search, it bids on the terms people type when they're looking for a home like yours, which is intent by its very nature. To bring back people who visited but didn't convert, it retargets from first-party signals on your own site: the pages someone viewed, the tour they started, the form they didn't finish. People who have already become leads are excluded, so you're never paying to reach buyers you've already met.

Those retargeting audiences are built from behavior only. Maurice doesn't build a housing audience from identity: no age, gender, marital or familial status, or neighborhood targeting, and no lookalike audiences, which the major platforms don't offer for housing.

Platform rules

Inside every platform's housing guardrails.

The major ad platforms enforce their own housing rules: restricting demographic targeting, removing lookalike audiences, and widening the minimum location radius for housing campaigns. Maurice runs your campaigns within those guardrails by default, so compliance isn't a setting your team has to remember to switch on.

In practice

What we use, and what we don't.

Signals we use
Search intent
Reach buyers by what they're actively searching for: keywords and query intent.
On-site behavior
Build retargeting audiences from pages people viewed and actions they took on your site.
Per-development separation
Each development's data lives in its own container, never blended or shared.
Human approval
Every targeting or budget change is proposed for your sign-off before it goes live.
Signals we never use
Protected demographics
No targeting on age, gender, familial or marital status, national origin, religion, or disability.
Location proxies
No ZIP-code or narrow-radius targeting used to include or exclude neighborhoods.
Lookalike audiences
Not used. Platforms don't permit them for housing.
Demographic inference
We don't build or buy audiences that stand in for a protected class.
Oversight

Nothing changes without a human.

Maurice proposes; your team decides. Every campaign, audience, and budget change is routed to you for approval before it goes live, with the reasoning attached. Each development is kept in its own workspace, so data and audiences are never blended across clients, which is what keeps housing pixels separated and your data isolated.

This page describes how Maurice is designed to operate and the ad-platform policies we work within. It is not legal advice, and it isn't a guarantee of compliance in every jurisdiction. Fair-housing obligations are ultimately yours as the advertiser. Maurice is built to make meeting them the default, and we work alongside your compliance team to keep it that way.
