Who Are the Guests on “AEO GEO LLM Seeding AI SEO Book Review | James Dooley Interviews Paul Truscott”?

James Dooley is the host of the James Dooley Podcast and one of the co-authors of the book under review. He brings deep expertise in SEO, lead generation, and AI visibility strategies, and leads the discussion on how the many acronyms in the space ultimately point to the same goal: getting your brand cited correctly by large language models.

What Are the Key Takeaways From “AEO GEO LLM Seeding AI SEO Book Review | James Dooley Interviews Paul Truscott”?

Here are the key points discussed in this episode:

The specific acronym you use (AEO, GEO, LLM Seeding, AI SEO) matters far less than understanding the mechanics of how to get cited by AI search engines.
AI models like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Grok, and Gemini are moving fast, and businesses that don't keep up risk being buried.
Getting cited correctly means controlling how LLMs describe who you are, what you do, and why you're brilliant.
The book brings together nine co-authors from different monetisation backgrounds, all united by a belief in AI-focused online reputation management.
Online reputation management now extends to how large language models represent your brand, not just traditional search results.

“These AI models are moving at such a pace now. If you don't try and keep up with it, your business is going to be buried.”
— Paul Truscott

And they've all gonna add their own little spices to their own chapters of how you should be seeding the large language models. So Paul, for anyone that hasn't bought this book yet, what is the book about that is called AEO, GEO, LLM Seeding, AI SEO, or Whatever the [ __ ] You Want to Call It?

Paul Truscott: Well, quite simply, James, the title is basically saying, don't worry too much about what, uh, people call it because at the moment, there isn't a consensus view on how we're going to describe this thing, but the mechanics of it are really, really important. So, what do you have to do to get cited by these AI search engines, right? That's the key. So, don't worry about the name of it. Just worry about how you're going to actually get in there and get your business or your personal brand recommended by them. And that's what this book is there to tell you how to do. So, it cuts through all the crap. Um, I think one... I think this was a book that needed to be written and thus far hasn't been written. Like there are technical... They tend to be very academic books on this. Um, and a lot of those were written a while ago and things have changed. So probably over time we, we will probably have to revisit and update this title because things will change. Um, but right now it's up to date and it's important that people get a handle on this because it's not going away. It's only going to become more and more important and it's more and more progressive. These AI models are moving at such a pace now. If you don't try and keep up with it, your business is going to be buried. I mean, seriously, like people who aren't getting up to speed with this and what's the book the co... Like, it's the cost of a cup of coffee. Seriously. Um, if people don't want to buy this and would rather take their chances with their business, good luck. That's all I can say.

James Dooley: Yeah. So, with regards to, um, the book, obviously it's got all the different acronyms of AEO, GEO. Within, within the book, it's talking about is AEO just SEO? Is SEO just GEO? It breaks down all the different acronyms and it's kind of saying, do you know what? It doesn't matter what acronym you want to call it. It's just getting your business or brand more exposure within artificial intelligence, LLMs. That could be ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Grok, Gemini. All these are important to be trying to not only get the more exposure but trying to be cited in the corre- in the correct way of defining who you are, what you do and why you're brilliant. For anyone that wants to read it, just so you understand, the, the authors of the book called AEO, GEO, LLM Seeding, AI SEO, or Whatever the [ __ ] You Want to Call It are I, James Dooley, Vaibhav Sharda, Paul Truscott, who's obviously on the podcast episode here, Abigail Dooley, who is the founder of LLM Leads and does a lot of lead generation within the UK.

And then you've got Adrian Ponce Del Rosario, who is an amazing Filipino SEO that's done all the courses that Koray talks about, semantics. We all come from different walks of life. We're all doing different monetisation strategies, but what we do share is one belief that you should be looking at your online reputation management with regards to how LLMs are saying who you are, what you do, and why you are brilliant.
