AI discovery (GEO)

Understand where your books appear in AI answers.

Readers ask AI tools for books, advice, and help with real decisions. Kadaxis investigates whether relevant titles appear in those answers and delivers evidence and prioritized recommendations for publishers.

A cited page and a recommended book are different outcomes.

An AI answer may cite a publisher's article without naming the book it discusses. It may recommend a competing title, or name a book without giving the reader a useful route to it.

Generative engine optimization (GEO) starts with understanding those differences. We examine the questions readers ask, the books named in the answers, and the sources those answers use.

Inside the publisher report

Where books appear

A clear account of the selected titles' visibility across the reader questions and AI services included in the engagement.

What the answers use

Competing titles, cited sources, and relevant publisher and retailer pages, supported by the captured answer evidence.

What to improve

Prioritized recommendations for descriptions, book pages, and related content, with the evidence and checks behind each action.

From reader needs to useful publishing decisions.

Choose the discovery questions

Start with what the book helps a reader understand, do, or experience. Agree the titles and questions the work will cover.

Examine live answers and sources

Record the books named and sources cited across the selected AI search services. Repeated observations help reveal variation in the answers.

Compare the supporting content

Inspect relevant book descriptions, publisher pages, and other sources. Separate what the evidence shows from assumptions about why a book appeared.

Deliver the findings and actions

Your team receives an overview, supporting answer and source evidence, and ranked recommendations. Proposed book-specific copy remains subject to your editorial review.

See how the research works.

Our public study of The Dementia Caregiver examines how a book's fit with a reader's needs appears in ChatGPT answers. It shows why generic book queries and specific practical questions can produce different recommendations.

A discovery report describes observed answers and opportunities for improvement. It does not guarantee inclusion in future AI answers or establish a sales effect.
