New term in the foreign trade circle in 2026: GEO: Is it a life-saving medicine or a way to fleece people?
The Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) that was hotly debated in the foreign trade industry in 2026 is not a "quick traffic code," nor is it equivalent to keyword stuffing in traditional SEO.
