Your book never appears
You ask AI for books with your exact tropes or reader promise—and it recommends everyone except you.
Your readers may already be asking
Readers are changing how they find their next book. Do yours appear?
A reader can ask ChatGPT for your exact genre, trope, mood, heat level, or reading experience. If AI cannot find or understand your books, it may leave you out—or give the reader the wrong facts.
You do not need to understand GEO. We check what readers may see and explain what needs attention.
- Free check available
- Results in plain English
- No website required
Do you have this problem?
Readers may want exactly your kind of book—but AI may not know it.
If you have published books readers can buy or borrow, these are the problems Talk of the Bot checks. You do not need to understand AI, GEO, search engines, or website technology.
The answer gets your books wrong
AI mixes up your genre, heat level, pen name, newest release, or whether a book ends on a cliffhanger.
Your series order is unclear
A reader cannot get a confident answer about which book comes first or where they should begin.
The reader cannot take the next step
The answer points to an old edition, the wrong link, or no trustworthy place to learn more or buy.
Start with the free AI Book Check. We ask five reader-style questions and show whether your books appear, whether the facts are correct, and the first issue worth investigating.
See what AI says about my booksThis is probably not for you yet if your first book is not available, you want a custom author website, or you are looking for guaranteed sales. We improve how clearly your books can be found and understood; we cannot guarantee a recommendation or purchase.
Why this matters now
A reader may choose from an AI list before opening Amazon.
Your book can be for sale everywhere and still be missing from that list—or described incorrectly.
The old way
The reader searched and compared.
They opened store pages, blogs, and search results, then figured out which book fit.
The new way
The reader asks and gets a list.
They describe a mood, trope, heat level, character type, or reading experience. AI suggests possible books.
Why this matters
Confusing facts can remove your book.
If AI cannot confirm your genre, books, series order, or newest release, it may leave you out or recommend another author.
What Talk of the Bot changes
We help AI find the right facts about your books.
First, we check the facts. We confirm your books, genres, tropes, tone, heat level, reading order, releases, and official links.
Then, we test real questions. We ask AI the kinds of questions readers ask and record whether your books appear and whether the answers are correct.
Finally, we configure and recheck. With approval, we add or update the site’s llms.txt, then repeat the questions and show you what changed.
The honest promise: We cannot force an AI recommendation. We can make it easier for AI to understand your books correctly, connect them to relevant reader questions, and show whether more good-fit questions include them.
The result, in plain English
You get answers you can actually use.
See whether you appear
We show you which reader questions include your books, which do not, and where AI seems unsure.
Document costly confusion
We identify missing books, wrong reading orders, mixed-up pen names, unclear genres, old links, and stale information, then map approved existing sources in llms.txt.
See whether it improved
We repeat the checks and give you simple month-to-month results instead of asking you to guess whether the work helped.
What we do not promise: Nobody can guarantee an AI recommendation. We improve what AI can find and understand, measure the answers, and show you the evidence.
What exactly are we doing?
We ask the questions your future readers might ask.
Then we check whether your books appear, whether the answer is correct, and whether the approved llms.txt guidance changes the result over time.
A reader asks AI“Recommend a funny fantasy romance with no cliffhanger.”
We inspect the answer
Your book appearedIt appeared—but the facts were wrongIt did not appear
Use a real reader question
We test questions about genre, tropes, tone, heat level, reading order, similar books, and what to read next.
Record exactly what happened
Did your book appear? Was the title right? Was the description accurate? Could AI confirm the answer from trustworthy pages?
Give systems a clear guide
With your approval, we configure llms.txt to point AI systems to the correct existing pages for your books, series, and author information.
Ask the same question again
We repeat the test and show whether your book appeared more often or the answer became more accurate.

When results happen
GEO is a 30–90 day process—not an instant switch.
We can configure the approved llms.txt guide now. Search engines and AI tools still need time to revisit sources, process them, and decide when to use them. That part happens on their schedules, not ours.
Systems find the changes
Google says recrawling can take a few days to a few weeks. Different AI tools refresh their information on different schedules.
Early signs may appear
Answers may start connecting the correct author and books or pointing to the right existing official page.
We judge the pattern
This is the first meaningful evaluation window. We compare the same reader questions over time instead of treating one changing AI answer as proof.
EVERY TWO WEEKSWe repeat the same questions
Examples include “Who is this author?”, “What order is this series?”, and “Which book should I start with?”
WE TRACKAccuracy, connections, sources, and visits
We record whether the answer is correct, whether the right books and series are connected, whether an official source is cited, and—when analytics are available—whether ChatGPT sends visitors.
The honest promise: An established website may show movement sooner than a brand-new page. Clear content, structured information, and useful links help systems understand your work, but they do not guarantee crawling, inclusion, citations, recommendations, sales, or a specific date.
Why we set this expectation: Google says recrawling can take days to weeks and does not guarantee inclusion. OpenAI explains search discovery and ChatGPT referral tracking. The 2–6 week and 60–90 day windows are Talk of the Bot’s measurement policy, not a platform guarantee.
Exactly what happens

Founding pricing
Boutique service. First-round rates.
Choose a one-time report if you want to make the changes yourself, or concierge if you want us to do the checking, approved llms.txt configuration, and reporting for you. Founding concierge rates stay locked for 12 months while your plan remains active. GEO is measured over 30–90 days; early movement may appear sooner, but it is not an instant result.
Every paid plan checks SERIES—not just individual books. We record the series name, confirm the supplied reading order and best starting point, then test whether AI finds the series by name and through reader-style descriptions. DIY and Author Concierge cover one series. Catalog Concierge covers up to three.

What happens after payment: Everyone completes the detailed author form and confirms that GEO is a 30–90 day measurement process. The two-business-day clock begins after the completed form is submitted—not when payment or renewal is processed. DIY customers receive a human-reviewed report, three-fix plan, and three book-specific prompts within two business days; we do not request website access or make the change. Concierge customers receive their first reviewed findings and proposed work within two business days, then approve the work before we complete and verify it. After each Concierge renewal, we email a prefilled monthly check-in. Update anything new or choose “Nothing has changed.” That month’s research and two-business-day clock begin when we receive the check-in. Saturdays and Sundays do not count as business days.

Questions authors usually ask
How long does GEO take?
Plan on 30–90 days, not overnight results. We may see early movement in two to six weeks, but 60–90 days is the first useful evaluation window. We repeat the same questions every two weeks and look for a pattern: more accurate answers, correct author-and-book connections, useful citations, and visits from AI tools when analytics are available. Google says recrawling can take days to weeks and does not guarantee inclusion. No one can promise when an AI tool will use, cite, or recommend a page.
What exactly are you doing?
We pretend to be readers and ask AI tools questions such as “What order do I read this series?” or “Recommend a funny fantasy romance with no cliffhanger.” We record whether your books appear and whether the answers are correct. For an existing website, approved implementation is limited to llms.txt and optional higher-tier reporting connections. Then we repeat the questions and show you what changed.
Why do I need this if my books are already on Amazon?
Being listed for sale does not mean AI understands where your book fits. It may not know the correct series order, tropes, tone, heat level, ideal reader, newest release, or whether an old edition should be ignored. Clear information gives your books a better chance of being matched to the right question.
What do I have to do?
Choose a plan, pay, and complete one detailed form about your books. We do the research and prepare the work. You review and approve the exact technical scope. You do not need to learn AI tools, run searches, write technical code, or attend a sales call.
What happens after I pay?
You receive the detailed author form. The two-business-day delivery clock begins after you submit the completed form. Our system researches your books and Dana reviews the work. DIY customers receive the finished report, three-fix plan, and three customized Codex or Claude prompts within two business days. Concierge customers receive the first reviewed findings and exact llms.txt proposal within two business days, then approve the work before we configure and verify it. Saturdays and Sundays do not count as business days.
What happens when my Concierge plan renews?
We email you a secure monthly check-in with your previous answers already filled in. Change anything that is new—books, series order, links, reader details, or website information—or choose “Nothing has changed.” We do not begin that month’s research until you submit the check-in. Your two-business-day delivery window starts when we receive it, not on the renewal date. Saturdays and Sundays do not count as business days.
What is the DIY option?
It is a one-time human-reviewed toolkit for up to three books. We test 15 reader questions, explain what is helping or hurting, rank three fixes, and give you three complete prompts: one to make the priority update, one to build consistent book-information copy, and one to check and retest the finished work. Every prompt includes your actual titles, series information, reader fit, links, and report findings. You make or direct the change.
What does the SERIES check include?
For each included series, we record the official series name and the order you supplied, identify the best starting book, and test whether AI can find the series when a reader uses its name or describes the genre, mood, tropes, and reading experience. DIY and Author Concierge include one series. Catalog Concierge includes up to three series.
Can I upgrade from DIY to concierge?
Yes. Your delivered DIY report includes a private upgrade link valid for 30 days. The full $39 becomes a first-month credit, making Author Concierge $40 for the first month and then $79/month, or Catalog Concierge $110 for the first month and then $149/month. Your book details carry into the concierge intake.
Does a DIY report use one of the five Concierge places?
No. The five-place limit applies only to active Author Concierge and Catalog Concierge clients. You may buy the one-time $39 DIY report without reducing Concierge availability. If you later upgrade, a Concierge place must be available at that time.
What if I do not have an author website?
You do not need one. We can create a simple Bot-Ready Author Page containing your approved bio, books, reading order, genres, reader fit, and official links. You preview and approve it before we publish it at talkofthebot.com/authors/your-pen-name. Hosting and maintenance are included while your paid plan is active.
Can you guarantee AI will recommend my book?
No—and anyone promising that should make you nervous. We can improve the quality and consistency of the information AI can find, measure changes, and show you where your strongest opportunities are.
Will you change my website without asking?
No. Existing-website implementation is limited to the exact llms.txt and higher-tier reporting connections shown in your private proposal. You approve or decline that scope before work begins. We do not rewrite visible page copy or redesign the site.
How do you access my website securely?
Most website and reporting systems let you add a separate user. You invite Talk of the Bot through WordPress or your site platform for approved llms.txt work. Catalog Concierge clients who select Search & AI Traffic Reporting also receive delegated-access instructions for Google Search Console, Google Analytics Viewer access, and Bing Webmaster Tools. We never ask for your passwords, and you can remove access.
Is this website design?
No. On an existing site, implementation is limited to approved llms.txt and, for Catalog Concierge clients who select it, reporting connections. Without a site, we offer one standardized author-information page using information you approve. We do not rewrite existing visible pages or create custom branding, graphics, stores, blogs, themes, or full websites.
What if I use more than one pen name?
We treat each pen name according to your privacy needs. We will not connect identities publicly unless you explicitly want them connected.
Why are the prices lower right now?
Five founding Concierge clients will help refine the reports, workflows, and monitoring questions. The five-place limit is shared by Author Concierge and Catalog Concierge. DIY report customers do not count toward it.
Is this AEO, GEO, or SEO?
SEO means helping Google find a webpage.
AEO means helping online tools give a clear answer to a question.
GEO means helping AI tools understand and accurately mention your information in a generated answer.
Talk of the Bot can support all three, but you do not need to remember the letters. We focus on the useful question: when a reader asks AI about books like yours, can it find and correctly understand yours?
Pick your pour
Choose, pay, then tell us about your books.
No sales call and nothing to qualify for. Pick the level that matches the help you want, then complete one detailed form. DIY ends with your three-fix plan and three book-specific prompts. Concierge continues through approval, implementation, verification, and ongoing reports.
