What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?

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.

How does MerbIQ work?

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.

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.

What AI platforms does MerbIQ monitor?

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

Does my business need a website to use MerbIQ?

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.

Why does AI visibility matter for a local business?

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.

What is an IDAI Page?

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.

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

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.

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