1. In the "History" section, add this paragraph after the 2024 update note:
"By 2024, the rise of generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Google's Search Generative Experience (SGE) led to the development of Generative Engine Optimization (GEO). This new approach focuses on optimizing content for AI-generated answers in addition to traditional search results, requiring adjustments to content structure and authority signals.[1][2]"
2. Add a new subsection under "Methods" titled "AI and generative search optimization" with:
"{{Main|Generative engine optimization}}
With the advent of AI-powered search tools, SEO strategies have expanded to include:
* Optimization for featured snippets in AI-generated answers
* Structured data markup for large language model comprehension
* Balancing AI-assisted content creation with Google's 'Helpful Content' guidelines[3]"

== Why does 'SEO spam' link to this page, when this page contains absolutely no reference to SEO spam? ==
The page doesn't even contain any indication that SEO has any relevance to spam, or that anybody has ever connected the concepts.
According to the archives, the page used to contain information about the pros and cons, controversies, negative effects and social impacts.
Now all the discussion seems to be about exactly which SEO practices and companies can be promoted more.
Is it really just me that thinks if a practice is so frequently exploited for profit that the world's richest companies have spent decades trying to combat (according to [https://blog.google/products/search/google-search-update-march-2024/ Google], anyway) the Wikipedia page linked to 'SEO spam' ought to contain at least a section on the negative impacts, rather than a vague paragraph on 'black hat SEO' presenting the multi-billion dollar scam industry as a quirky trickster who occasionally changes hats?
