SEO is dead. GEO is the new game in town. 🤖🛒

Generative Engine Optimization is now a thing in China. Companies are paying to "poison" AI models. Mass publishing of fake promotional content across the internet so that AI recommends their products as top results.
One operator demonstrated this by creating a completely fictional smartwatch brand. A few hundred articles later, two major AI models were recommending it unprompted.
Is this crossing ethical boundaries or just natural course of business?
Something worth watching closely. 👀
