Luxury Real Estate Advisory / Costa del Sol · Marbella · Organic search · July 20–26, 2026
maelabogados.com holds the first organic position on this query, recording median position 1 across the 7-run window. Present in 7 of 7 comparable runs (100%), it is the only actor on this surface that never moved from its slot — a signal of consistent query-level authority on this organic surface across the observation period.
affinitypropertygroup.com appears at the second organic position on this query with a median of position 2. It appeared in 7 of 7 comparable runs (100%), matching the lead actor's presence frequency but separated by a full position in median rank.
marbellaconnect.com appears at the third organic position on this query, recording median position 3 across the window. Present in 7 of 7 comparable runs (100%), it shares the same median rank as facebook.com but with far greater consistency — a distinction that matters when reading top-3 churn.
facebook.com appears at median position 3 on this query but was present in only 3 of 7 comparable runs (43%). As a social platform rather than a specialist domain, its intermittent visibility is the primary source of top-3 churn observed across this window.
cdsolicitors.com appears at the fourth organic position on this query, recording median position 4. Present in 7 of 7 comparable runs (100%), it occupies the bottom of the observed panel with full consistency but no upward movement into the contested third slot.
Pattern on the observed surface

The surface on this query is narrow — 3 positions separate t
The surface on this query is narrow — 3 positions separate the top from the bottom of the panel — but the shape is not uniform. Four of the five actors appeared in every run, creating a stable core from position 1 through position 4. The instability sits entirely at position 3, where a social platform (facebook.com) enters and exits the surface across the window, producing the top-3 churn flagged in the stability summary. The panel is specialist-heavy: four focused domains and one general-purpose platform. No aggregator or advisory portal appears in the top 5 on this query across the observed window.
Why this reading matters
Luxury Real Estate Advisory / Costa del Sol · Marbella · Organic search · July 20–26, 2026
maelabogados.com — a domain oriented toward legal content — holds the rank-1 organic position on a query about property-purchase risk in Marbella. The query itself sits in a trust-and-risk register, and the surface rewards legal-focused sources over property-listing domains across the entire 7-run window. That alignment between query intent and domain focus is the structural read here.
Market implication
Luxury Real Estate Advisory / Costa del Sol · Marbella · Organic search · July 20–26, 2026
This observation suggests that on trust-oriented queries in the Luxury Real Estate Advisory Marbella / Costa del Sol market, the organic surface rewards focused legal or regulatory content over broader property portals. The churn at position 3 — where a social platform intermittently displaces a specialist domain — signals that the mid-panel on this query is not settled across the 7-run window. For any operator monitoring visibility on this specific query, the stable positions (1, 2, and 4) belong to niche domains with full window presence, while the contested slot remains open.
