About Rick Janson
Rick founded 10xSearch after watching well-built brands lose category citation to weaker competitors who happened to be engineered correctly for the AI engines. He concluded that the problem was not content quality or domain authority. It was structural: schema, rendering, entity resolution, and publishing cadence.
10xSearch ships the structural fix as a monthly engagement. 40 engineered Perfect Pages per month, 10 Pillars of Search applied to every output, monitoring across Google, Maps, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. The deliverable is the citation, not the website.

AI Search Optimization Expertise
Rick designed the 40-point Perfect Page Formula. Each point is binary and applied to every asset 10xSearch ships before publish. The formula is the gate that keeps quality consistent across 40 monthly outputs and the audit tool that surfaces structural problems quickly.
He also designed the 10 Pillars of Search framework. Technical architecture, semantic content, entity schema, visual search, AEO formatting, local presence, authority, press and PR, video indexing, social signals. Each pillar maps to a specific signal one of the engines weighs. Skip a pillar and citation eligibility caps out at the weakest link.

Real Estate Background
Real estate is the category where the methodology has the deepest pattern library right now. 10xSearch clients include residential luxury teams (Mountain Rose Realty in Telluride, Lux Exclusives, Caryl Berenato), large residential teams (The Kink Team in The Woodlands, TX), and individual luxury agents in markets across the country.
The work translates cleanly to any high-trust local services category where buyers research in AI before they reach out.
