Optimixed's original report on this story.
Search Engine Journal reports that China has created the first formal generative engine optimization (GEO) rulebook—a five-part standard developed following a TV industry scandal. The framework provides practical methods for measuring AI visibility, evaluating GEO vendors, and distinguishing legitimate optimization from manipulative tactics.
