Can ChatGPT find your book?

Live retrieval test against ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Gemini — both with web search active and from training data alone. Tells you what each model knows about your book: title-search visibility, author recognition, listicle inclusion, structured data (Wikipedia / Wikidata / Goodreads) and Reddit citation. Multi-pass aggregation keeps the score stable run-to-run.

In 2026 readers don't just search Amazon and Google. They ask ChatGPT for a recommendation, browse Perplexity's lists, ask Claude what's worth reading. If those models don't know your book, you've already lost the discovery layer.

This audit runs the same queries a curious reader would type — "what's a good book on X?", "books like Y", "best UK self-published Z" — across the four major models, with and without web search active, in multiple passes. The score reflects how reliably your book surfaces. It does NOT score your Amazon ranking — that's the Advertising Readiness Score.

What the score actually checks

For each of ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Gemini, we run:

Why this matters more every quarter

ChatGPT alone runs ~3 billion searches per week as of late 2025. Perplexity is the default search engine for Comet browser users. Claude's web search launched in 2024. These models are increasingly the front door to book discovery — especially for non-fiction and learning-oriented buyers. If you're invisible there, your funnel has a hole that no Amazon Ads spend can plug.
