World-first · the AI-discovery audit built for books

Will AI recommend your book?

Readers no longer just search Amazon and Google — they ask ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini what to read next. The AI Discovery Audit tests your book against all four, then hands you the exact fixes to get recommended: a ready-to-paste listing rewrite, schema snippets, and a confidence-tagged action plan.

4 AI engines, multi-pass Ready-to-paste fixes 90-second free score

In 2026, the question isn't just "does my book rank on Amazon?" — it's "when a reader asks an AI what to read, does my book come up?"

ChatGPT alone fields billions of searches a week. Perplexity ships as the default engine in new browsers. Claude and Gemini answer reading questions all day. These models are becoming the first place readers go for a recommendation — and if they don't know your book, no amount of Amazon Ads spend plugs that hole. This is AEO — answer-engine optimisation, the new layer on top of SEO, and almost no indie author is doing it yet.

Plenty of tools now track how AI sees big brands. This is the world's first AI-discovery audit built for books — the only one that tests how AI recommends your title, maps the sources behind the books that beat it, checks whether you were scraped into the training data, and rewrites your Amazon listing for Rufus. If AI is the new way readers search, this is how you make sure they find you.

Everything the audit does

Most AI-visibility tools track brands. This one is built for how AI recommends books — and it doesn't just score you, it hands you the fixes.

Tested on real reader questions

We run your book across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity & Gemini, multi-pass — using the questions readers actually ask, mined live from Reddit, Amazon "customers also searched", and Google "people also ask". Not made-up prompts.

See who's winning — and exactly why

The books AI recommends instead of yours, plus the precise sources and links it cites for them — so you know exactly where to get mentioned to break in.

"Was your book scraped to train AI?" scan

We check whether your title sits in the datasets and shadow libraries (Anna's Archive, Books3) used to train today's models — and if it does, you get pre-filled copyright-assertion letters.

Amazon listing rewrite, tuned for Rufus

Ready-to-paste title, subtitle, description and your 7 backend keyword slots — rewritten for how Amazon's Rufus AI actually reads a listing, not keyword stuffing.

AI visibility kit: site, Goodreads & Wikidata

The exact paste-ready schema/structured-data snippets and a Wikidata plan that make machines recognise your book — and you as an author entity.

Reachability check

Whether AI crawlers can actually reach and read your book pages and website. If they're blocked, nothing else matters — so we check first.

Competing titles & your "battle zone"

Where you can realistically win recommendations, and which comparable titles to position against — instead of fighting battles you can't win.

Confidence-tagged action plan

Every fix labelled by likely impact — direct cause-and-effect vs. worth-a-try — so you start with what actually moves the needle.

Frequently asked questions

Does ChatGPT actually recommend books?

Yes. Readers increasingly ask ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini for recommendations — "what's a good book on X?", "books like Y". The models answer from training data and live web search. If your book and author aren't recognised, you're invisible at the point of recommendation.

What does the AI Discovery Audit include?

A multi-pass retrieval test across the four major AI engines, plus a ready-to-paste Amazon listing rewrite, schema and Wikidata snippets, a check of whether your book appears in the major AI training datasets, and a confidence-tagged action roadmap. £29.99.

How much does it cost?

The full audit is £29.99 — one price, no upsell tiers. There's also a free 90-second AI Discovery Score that tells you whether the models can find your book before you buy.

Is this different from SEO?

Yes. Traditional SEO optimises for Google's ranked links. AI discovery — sometimes called AEO (answer-engine optimisation) or GEO (generative-engine optimisation) — optimises for whether a model retrieves and recommends you in a written answer. Structured data, author entity recognition and citation sources matter more. See our guide to AI book discovery.

How is this different from other AI-visibility tools?

Most AI-visibility trackers are built for brands and SEO teams. This is built for books: it tests the real recommendation questions readers ask, maps the exact sources behind the books that get recommended, checks whether your book was scraped into AI training data, and rewrites your Amazon listing for Rufus — all in one report.

Who is it for?

Self-published and indie authors, and small presses, who want their books found by readers using AI search. It works for any title with an Amazon listing — fiction or non-fiction.
