Question 1

What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?

Accepted Answer

GEO is the practice of optimizing a business's online presence so that AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Meta AI recommend it. It's the AI-era equivalent of SEO.

Question 2

How does MerbIQ work?

Accepted Answer

MerbIQ scans 6 AI platforms (ChatGPT, Meta AI, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Grok), verifies data with Google, and generates an AI Visibility Score. It then provides actionable fixes including IDAI Pages with Schema.org.

Question 3

Is MerbIQ free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the basic scan is free. You get your AI Visibility Score instantly. Básico plans start at €9.99/month. Pro monitoring across all major AIs starts at €29/month.

Question 4

What AI platforms does MerbIQ monitor?

Accepted Answer

MerbIQ monitors ChatGPT (OpenAI), Meta AI (Llama), Gemini (Google), Perplexity, Claude (Anthropic), and Grok (xAI) - covering the 6 most used AI platforms globally.

Question 5

Does my business need a website to use MerbIQ?

Accepted Answer

No. MerbIQ works for businesses without a website - those that live only on social media (Instagram) or booking platforms (Booksy, Doctoralia). The IDAI Page becomes the AI-readable profile that replaces the website they never had.

Question 6

Why does AI visibility matter for a local business?

Accepted Answer

People increasingly ask AI assistants for local recommendations instead of searching Google. If the AIs don't know a business, they recommend a competitor. MerbIQ measures and fixes whether AIs recommend your business.

Question 7

What is an IDAI Page?

Accepted Answer

An IDAI Page (Identidad Digital AI) is an AI-readable business profile with automatic Schema.org and llms.txt, so that ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and other AIs understand who the business is and recommend it.

Question 8

How is MerbIQ different from AI-visibility tools like Otterly, Profound or Semrush?

Accepted Answer

Those tools only MONITOR your AI visibility. MerbIQ also CREATES the presence - it generates the AI-readable profile, structured data and reviews - and it works for local small businesses even without a website. It is the most affordable option, built for local merchants rather than enterprise marketing teams.

Question 9

Who is MerbIQ for?

Accepted Answer

Local small merchants - barbershops, dentists, restaurants, food trucks, bakeries, laundromats and similar - in Spain and Latin America, with or without a website.
