AI Author Visibility Audit

For established authors who are tired of shouting into the void.

Get Found by Readers (and the AI Systems Recommending Books)

Book discovery has changed, and most author marketing advice hasn’t caught up.

Readers are increasingly finding books through AI discovery systems – not just bookstores, newsletters, or social media. And most authors are still following advice built for the old discovery stack.

Post more.

Build a bigger platform.

Be everywhere.

That approach leads to burnout. And, increasingly, very little visibility.

You don’t need to become a content machine. You need an author ecosystem that gives AI enough clear information to understand you and your work, connect your books to the right reader requests, and find enough credible evidence to recommend them.

The Author Visibility Audit evaluates that wider ecosystem — not just a single book.

Here's what happens when you order the AI Visibility Audit:

I review your overall author presence — including your bio, website, retailer pages, metadata, and positioning — and deliver a prioritized report showing where the information AI may rely on is unclear, inconsistent, incomplete, or missing, and what to improve.

No session to schedule. Just a clear, actionable report delivered to your inbox.

Every Audit includes a week of follow-up Q&A by email so you can ask questions, get clarification, and move forward with confidence.

The Problem Authors Are Facing

Discovery Has Changed

Until recently, readers mostly discovered books through:

ᐧ Search engines

ᐧ Social media

ᐧ Retail browsing

ᐧ Word of mouth

Today, discovery increasingly happens through AI systems.

Readers ask:

“What fantasy novels like X should I read?”

“Who writes thoughtful literary nonfiction?”

“Recommend cozy mysteries with strong female leads.”

To answer those questions well, AI needs enough clear information to understand an author and their work, connect their books to the right reader requests, and find credible evidence that supports a recommendation.

If your author ecosystem is unclear, inconsistent, or incomplete, AI may struggle to make those connections — not because your work isn’t strong, but because the information available to it doesn’t give it enough confidence.

That means your author presence needs to answer three fundamental questions:

Can AI understand you and your work?
Can it connect your books to the right reader requests?
Can it find enough credible evidence to recommend them?

That’s the gap the AI Visibility Audit is built to identify and help you close.

Who This Is For

This audit is for authors who have built some form of author platform – a Substack newsletter, an author website, a LinkedIn profile, an Amazon author page, or some combination – and want to know how AI systems are seeing the information available about them and their work.

Specifically, authors who:

Have published (or are preparing to publish) books

Want clarity instead of more marketing noise

Suspect their bio/metadata/retailer pages aren't consistent

Care about long-term positioning, not quick tricks

This isn’t about chasing algorithms or gaming the system. It’s about understanding how AI discovery works right now – and making your work easy to find, describe, and recommend.

The AI Visibility Audit

A Diagnostic Report on How AI Systems See You

The AI Visibility Audit is a structured assessment of how clearly AI systems understand you and your work, how well they can connect your books to the right reader requests, and whether there is enough credible evidence to support a recommendation.

It shows you:

Where your author ecosystem is clear and consistent

Where important information is missing, unclear, or conflicting

Where AI may struggle to connect your books to the right readers

Where more reviews, mentions, or other outside validation could strengthen your visibility

And it gives you specific, prioritized recommendations for strengthening your AI visibility.

This isn’t a coaching call or a live session. It’s a deep diagnostic report tailored to your author ecosystem – delivered as a written document you can refer back to and work from at your own pace.

Larger Ecosystems

The standard audit covers up to 3 platforms — the right starting point for most authors.

If you have a more complex presence — a full author website alongside a newsletter, a significant LinkedIn footprint, books on Amazon and Goodreads, speaking credits, guest articles — a broader assessment makes more sense.

ᐧ Single hub, light footprint (up to 6 platforms) — custom quote

ᐧ Full ecosystem (up to 10 platforms) — custom quote

If that sounds like you, get in touch, and we’ll figure out the right scope before we start.

Hi, I'm Lorraine

I’m a contemporary fantasy author and recovering IT nerd who lives at the intersection of story, systems, and AI.

Over the past few years, I’ve watched talented writers do everything they were told to do:

Build a platform. Post consistently. Grow a newsletter.

And still struggle to be seen.

Not because their writing wasn’t strong. But because the discovery landscape shifted faster than the advice did.

I help authors understand how AI systems see them, where the gaps are, and what to fix first — so their work becomes findable, selectable, and trustable wherever readers ask for recommendations. No hype. No content treadmill. Just clarity.

I ran the AI Visibility Audit on my own newsletter first. The results were not what I expected. Fixing them took one morning.

STILL NOT SURE?

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be tech-savvy?

Not at all. The recommendations focus on positioning and language — not technical systems. If there are technical steps involved, I’ll explain them in plain language.

Is this about social media?

No. This is about being found by AI — the systems readers are increasingly using to ask for recommendations. Social media may come up in the audit if it’s part of your footprint, but it’s not the focus.

Is this only for published authors?

No. Authors preparing to publish often benefit from getting their positioning clear before launch — so the ecosystem is ready when the book is.

What if my ecosystem is larger than 3 platforms?

Get in touch. Broader audits covering up to 6 or 10 platforms are available and quoted individually based on scope. The standard audit is the right starting point for most authors.
