VGO Framework V1.0

VGO Framework V1.0 is published as an open methodology and action framework.

This publication:

• defines effective visibility growth across the machine-mediated world;
• encompasses GEO's generative-AI visibility work and connects SEO and AEO;
• provides a reviewable Diagnose → Decide → Act → Verify → Learn action cycle;
• covers intent relevance, machine-readable owned assets, organization-controlled facts and evidence, credible independent corroboration, integrity risks, appropriate automation boundaries, and longitudinal learning.

Early commercial use establishes practical adoption by an implementer. It is not independent validation, causal proof of revenue improvement, or general third-party endorsement.

The public evaluation protocol remains Draft 0.1. It supports reviewable judgments for a single pre-stated user-intent scenario under its frozen V1.0 baseline. It is not a certification.

The v1.0.0-draft tag remains a historical snapshot and is not rewritten. See the GitHub release notes.
