The book
Guide to Marketing Your Business in the Age of AI is an ebook by James Chen, the founder of Bay Area AEO. The Media Room introduces it as the long version, written for owners who want the whole picture. It is a plain-English guide to getting recommended by AI: how answer engines decide which businesses to name, and the steps an owner can take to become one of them. The same two halves run through the agency's services: understanding how the models choose, then giving them what they need.
The ebook is sold in a Kindle edition on Amazon and through Lulu and Leanpub. It is also listed on Goodreads, for reviews, and on BookBub, where readers can follow it for deals.

Why the publications matter for LLM SEO
A book and a podcast are the kind of published expertise the agency recommends to its own clients. Its professional services page lists thought leadership (published articles and guides, plus podcasts and press quotes that show expertise AI can cite) as one of its signals. Bay Area AEO applies the same signal to itself, and both titles sit beside the 2026 award in its public record.
