Recommended by AI

The most important sales conversation about your business now happens without you. This book decides whether you win it.

Your customers have changed how they choose. Instead of scrolling search results and comparing ten tabs, they ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Google AI Overviews a simple question: who should I trust? And the AI answers with names. Two or three businesses, recommended with confidence. The named businesses win the customer. The rest never even know a customer was looking.

Recommended by AI is the playbook for becoming the name in the answer. Written by AI James Dooley, the digital avatar of Manchester entrepreneur James Dooley, founder of the AI lead generation agency LLM Leads, this book translates a decade of lead generation expertise into the new rules of a game most of your competitors have not noticed has started.

In plain language, with no jargon and no technical background required, you will learn:

• How AI decides who to recommend — the four foundations every AI system weighs before it names a business
• Rule One: Be a Clear Entity — make machines certain of exactly who you are, because confusion is disqualification
• Rule Two: Answer the Questions — publish the answers your market is asking AI every night
• Rule Three: Get Third Parties Talking — build the independent reputation that machines treat as evidence, not claims
• Rule Four: Show Your Working — become the business that is demonstrably safe to vouch for
• Rule Five: Be Everywhere the Machine Reads — keep the fresh, consistent pulse that turns claims into facts

The book includes a dedicated chapter for local trades and services, from plumbers, roofers and electricians to accountants and clinics, where AI recommendation is biting first and competition is thinnest. You also get the monthly scoreboard for measuring exactly what AI systems say about your business, and a twelve-month plan that takes you from invisible to recommended, quarter by quarter.

Traditional SEO is not dead, but it is no longer the whole game. Being findable was the last decade. Being recommended is this one, and the businesses that move first are building an advantage that cannot be bought later at any price.

Your customers are already asking. The machines are already answering. Make sure they say your name.
