You’ve optimized your book for AI, updated your website, polished your metadata, maybe even watched our AI Optimization for Authors episode.

But how do you know if any of it is working?

In this week’s episode, you’ll discover how to measure your AI optimization success. Because the hard truth is that if ChatGPT, Grok, or Gemini doesn’t know your book exists, it won’t recommend it to readers.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

How to find out if AI has read your book
Which LLMs like ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok know about your book
A new tool that shows how visible your book is to AI

If you’re a Novel Marketing patron, you already have access to exclusive tools that test the “big six” AIs and help you pinpoint what to improve.

For your book to rise, AI must recognize it.

Well, this is embarrassing.

After 12 years of teaching authors how to build better websites, I realized I’ve never covered the most important page on your site: your book page.

Your book’s webpage isn’t just for selling your book anymore. It’s now key to showing up in Google search results and getting recommended by AI tools like ChatGPT.

In this week’s episode, you’ll learn:

• The biggest mistake authors make when creating book pages (and the easy fix!)
• The elements your book page must have to help AI and human searchers
• What your book page needs to outrank Amazon and Barnes & Noble
• The critical section most authors skip

Your book deserves a better web presence, and your readers deserve an easy way to find it. Listen in or read the blog version to learn how to design an effective page that helps readers discover you and your books.
