From Black SEO to GEO: Same ROI Logic, New Engine

From my finance and accounting perspective at AINNA, SEO and GEO are not just content exercises. Backlinks, paid search and sitelinks have their place, but strong website structure, metadata, schema, internal linking and entity clarity create more durable, measurable value-especially when we treat them as long-term assets rather than short-term spend.

About 15 years ago, I reviewed a case that used what would now be considered black-hat SEO techniques, but the biggest advantage actually came from site structure and technical positioning, even when the content itself was different. From a financial standpoint, that strategy helped a private college scale its visibility and enrollment, eventually reaching 1,000+ medical students, around 5,000 health-science students and a valuation above RM1 billion.

Financially, the company later struggled due to overambitious expansion and management issues.

SEO gets you found. GEO helps AI understand you. Strong structure supports both, and AI now makes the execution much easier-so the return on a well-built digital asset is easier to justify, measure and scale.

I do not fully buy black-hat yet, but it is a fair argument.
