FAQ

Do I need a Google Gemini API key?

Yes, to use the AI Generator and Local Trend Radar features. You can obtain a free API key from Google AI Studio (https://aistudio.google.com). Core features like the Table of Contents, Reading Time, Readability analysis, and Geo Schemas work without an API key.

Is the Table of Contents automatically inserted?

Yes, you can configure automatic insertion before the first heading, or use the [geo_seo_toc] shortcode to place it anywhere inside your post.

Which readability formulas are used?

We use Flesch-Szigriszt (F-SZ) and Fernández-Huerta (IFH), which are specifically adapted and calibrated for the Spanish language, unlike standard English Flesch-Kincaid.
