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 Grok recommend it. It's the AI-era equivalent of SEO.

How does MerbIQ work?

MerbIQ scans the major AI platforms (ChatGPT, 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. Essential plans start at €14.99/month. Growth monitoring across all major AIs starts at €29.99/month.

What AI platforms does MerbIQ monitor?

MerbIQ monitors ChatGPT (OpenAI), Gemini (Google), Perplexity, Claude (Anthropic), and Grok (xAI) - the most used AI platforms globally - and keeps adding more as they gain relevance.

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.

Get AI to recommend your business

Who are you? Pick your path

The wake-up

You ask AIs for recommendations. Have you ever asked them about you?

The question your customer asks the AI (and you never hear)

Either it recommends you, or it recommends your competition

Does this AI thing really work for a business like mine?

Understand it without jargon

What is GEO? The storefront that AIs see

AEO: when someone asks an AI, your business is the answer

SEO, GEO and AEO: the three odd acronyms explained with a bakery

Where do AIs get what they say about your business?

When information is missing, AIs make things up about you

Sort out your digital home

Is your Google listing abandoned? The AIs notice

Your Instagram is not just photos: the AIs read it

Your information is scattered and the AIs doubt you

The AIs talk about you. But from which source?

Do you need a website for this? Your IDAI already is one

What the AIs need from you

The AI wants to recommend you, but it doesn't know who you are

Other people's word carries more weight than yours

Speak the way your customers speak, not like a technician

The questions you should answer before they're even asked

The AI trusts whoever stays alive

Get to work with MerbIQ

What do the AIs say about you when nobody's listening?

Step 2: create your IDAI, your identity for the AI era

Step 3: why AI needs to see you complete

Step 4: publish your IDAI and share it

Step 5: showing up in AIs is a habit, not a stroke of luck

Authority and advantage

Whoever gets there first keeps the spot

Why does AI trust some businesses and not others?

Start today imperfect, or lose ground tomorrow

What MerbIQ solves

Your IDAI isn't just a profile: it's your hub in the AIs

Do the AIs know everything you sell, one by one?

The reviews the AI reads before recommending you

AIs forget whoever stays silent

Are you improving in the AIs? You'll only know by measuring

You use AIs daily, but do you know what they answer about your sector?

Manage other people's brands

You take care of digital presence. And inside the AIs?

Do you manage several businesses? Organize their visibility in the AIs

The service almost nobody offers (yet)

The before and after that closes the client instantly

You look after other people's brands. What if you could offer more?

Companies with structure

You have a website, a team and years of work. And the AI doesn't find you

Being big doesn't make you visible to the AI

Does the AI name your brand as a benchmark?

Sometimes a tool alone isn't enough
