FAQ

IRefer Club helps small businesses be found when new customers search for what they do. You provide the business information, and our done-for-you service verifies, organizes and publishes the approved information so your business is easier to recognize, understand and find online.

No. The published business profile is part of the service, but IRefer Club also verifies the information you supply, writes and organizes it in plain English, connects it to your official website and social links, and makes the approved information publicly available. The goal is to support your existing online presence, not replace it.

No. IRefer Club can support search visibility, but it is not a traditional SEO agency or advertising company. It is a focused, done-for-you business visibility service that helps make accurate information about your business easier for customers, Google, Maps and AI-assisted search tools to understand and find.

In person, a handshake is an introduction. It shows respect, creates a human connection and begins the process of building trust. The IRefer Club Digital Handshake brings that same idea online. It introduces your business using accurate, approved information before a new customer ever speaks with you.

REG stands for Recognition Engine Guidance and Retrieval Engine Guidance. It is the process behind the Digital Handshake.

Recognition Engine Guidance helps search and AI-assisted systems recognize what your business is, what it does and where it serves customers. Retrieval Engine Guidance helps make the correct information about your business easier for phones, computers and search tools to find and retrieve when someone asks.

People increasingly ask their phones for a business, product or service instead of scrolling through pages of results. Their phones use search engines, maps and AI-assisted tools to find possible answers. IRefer Club helps make the approved information about your business clearer and easier for those systems to work with.

These are technical terms for different parts of AI-assisted search. GEO means Generative Engine Optimization. AIO means AI Optimization. RAG means Retrieval-Augmented Generation. A business owner does not need to master those terms to use IRefer Club. Our job is to make the information you supply clearer, more consistent and easier for search systems to work with.
