COSGEO is run by the team behind Yanse — The Oil & Acne Care Factory: an OEM/ODM manufacturer of oil blotting paper, oil-control film and acne patches whose founder entered the blotting paper trade in 2006 and has done one thing since. 8,000 m² plant, 100,000-class cleanrooms, a million units a month, 600+ brands in 50+ countries, supplier audits passed for L'Oréal, Watsons, MINISO and Mentholatum.
Three reasons this is public. First, honesty as positioning: the GEO industry is full of "guaranteed #1 in ChatGPT" promises that are methodologically impossible; publishing N-stated, replicable data is how we differ. Second, the flywheel: every scoreboard issue is original data — the content type AI engines and journalists cite most — and every citation strengthens the very visibility the scoreboard measures. Third, category leadership: someone will write the standard method for cosmetics GEO; we'd rather it be the factory with the receipts.
1 · No claims from single runs — N≥5 visibility rate only. 2 · Method, model, date, region stated on every number. 3 · Raw data retained; anyone can replicate for under $10. 4 · Competitors named only factually, never disparaged. 5 · The journey log is append-only — failures stay published.
Today COSGEO is a methodology journal and one live case. If it grows into consulting, tooling, or a visibility-rate monitoring service for beauty brands, it will be announced here first. To talk manufacturing, go straight to the factory. To talk method, the scoreboard comments will open with Issue #2.
