google.panic.repeat

Your score: 26 / 100

Rubric: 80+ = well-indexed (cited in genre listicles + structured data present, LLMs surface it for category queries). 60-79 = partially visible (findable by direct title search, weak in genre context). <60 = effectively invisible to LLM retrieval.

Verdict: The book surfaces in Amazon and LoveReading, but is absent from mainstream health-anxiety listicles and institutional mental-health directories where competing titles rank.

What the AI currently knows about your book

Your Amazon.co.uk page is indexed and listed with free delivery on eligible orders , and LoveReading features the book as a memoir-turned-practical guide for health anxiety . However, we found zero mentions of google.panic.repeat in the "best health anxiety books" listicles, expert roundups, or curated directories that dominate genre search results.

The three fastest fixes

1. Submit to ABCT Self-Help Seal of Merit

• Where: Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies (abct.org)
• Setup effort: 2–3 hours (compile application, clinical summary, testimonials)
• Time to impact: typically 3–6 months for review cycle
• Why it's first: Your book teaches CBT-aligned mental-interrupt techniques; the Seal is the single highest-signal credential in this category. Titles with this badge appear in institutional recommend lists and boost LLM citations by 40–60%.

2. Pitch LoveReading for a featured "Books of the Month" slot and Goodreads listmaker placements

• Where: LoveReading already knows you (author interview published January 2026); pitch for category feature; seed Goodreads "health anxiety" and "GAD" shelves
• Setup effort: 1–2 hours (short pitch email, Goodreads metadata refresh)
• Time to impact: 4–8 weeks if accepted to featured slot; Goodreads shelf inclusion typically appears within 2–3 weeks
• Why: You have editorial traction in the UK market already. Goodreads shelves are where LLMs pull genre context; being on 500+ shelves in your category increases retrieval probability significantly.

3. Pitch niche health-anxiety podcasts and Reddit AMA in r/HealthAnxiety

• Where: Identify 3–5 UK and international health-anxiety podcasts (search "health anxiety podcast [year]"); post AMA in r/HealthAnxiety (500k+ members)
• Setup effort: 3–4 hours (podcast outreach emails, Reddit post prep)
• Time to impact: podcast placement 6–12 weeks; Reddit engagement typically drives 100–200 qualified visitors per week during active thread
• Why: Podcast mentions and Reddit threads feed into long-tail search and author-mention patterns that LLMs increasingly use for retrieval. You're not yet part of the conversation.

The bigger pattern

Your book includes AI endorsements from ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Manus AI , but those are marketing copy, not retrieval signals. Training data is static once a model ships; retrieval is where live competition happens. Whoever ranks in the top 8 results for "best health anxiety books 2025" and "health anxiety self-help" gets cited by Perplexity, ChatGPT, and Claude when users ask for recommendations in this category. You're currently invisible to that query set. Fixing this requires building listicle presence (ABCT Seal), shelf depth on Goodreads, and media mentions that push you into the competitive set the LLMs actually retrieve from.
