Every value here is read from the same field the rest of the site renders from, so this table cannot disagree with the pages it governs.

Which identifiers and external records belong to this book?

Two rules govern what may be added to that list. One URL per distinct record, so a regional mirror of a record already listed is never added alongside it. And no interface-state parameters, because sort order, redirect breadcrumbs and tracking tags are not part of a record's identity.

The ISBN stays deliberately absent until a real ISBN-13 exists. Structured data carrying a placeholder is worse than structured data with no isbn property at all.

What is the definitive description?

Link Building in the Era of AI Search Engines is a practitioner playbook on link building for AI search, written by four working practitioners and published by Omnipressent.

This exact sentence must appear identically on this site, on the Amazon listing and on the Google Books record. Any variation splits corroboration across sources.

It does not yet. Checked on 13 August 2026, neither retail record carries this sentence at all: both open with a longer piece of sales copy instead. Until that is fixed, the one sentence this site treats as canonical is corroborated by nothing outside this domain, which is recorded above as an open conflict rather than left to be discovered.

What are the longer approved descriptions?

Link Building in the Era of AI Search Engines is a practitioner playbook on link building for AI search, written by four working practitioners and published by Omnipressent. It argues that the link has stopped being a vote and become a witness statement, because AI search systems read the pages a link sits on rather than counting backlinks. The book covers entity development, semantic triples, corroboration territory by territory, and how to measure links as testimony.

The premise

Link building has been declared dead more times than any tactic in marketing history. Every algorithm update, every industry shift, every new acronym brings a fresh wave of obituaries, and every time, the people quietly building links keep winning.

Link building did not die. It changed jobs. The links that used to pass authority to pages now corroborate entities to machines, and that changes what you build, where you build it, and what the content around every link needs to say.

The argument

AI search systems, from ChatGPT and Claude to Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, don't just count links any more. They read the page the link sits on. They read the sentence around it. They read the claims being made about the entity being linked to, and they compare those claims against every other mention of that entity across the web.

Every page that names you is a witness statement. The link is simply what connects that statement to your entity beyond doubt.

Link building is not dead. It has simply been promoted, from vote-stuffing to evidence-building.

The reader

The book is written for people who build, sell or buy links.

How must each name and title be rendered?

Each string below has one correct rendering, and the reason it matters is stated alongside it.

Book title
Rendered verbatim from one constant, in every H1, title tag, meta description and schema string. Never shortened, never re-cased, never given the cover subtitle appended.
Retrieval systems match on the metadata string. A tidied variant is a different string, and a different string is a different entity as far as the machine is concerned.
Cover subtitle
'Build authority. Earn trust. Get cited. Win in AI search.' is rendered as cover copy only and is never joined to the title.
It appears on the artwork but on no retailer's title field. A title carrying it would match no external record.
Masthead wordmark
The masthead reads 'Link Building in the Era of AI'. The full title is rendered in the H1 directly beneath it on the homepage.
A wordmark is a navigational lockup, not a byline. Truncating it costs nothing because no schema string, title tag or heading is truncated with it.
Definitive description
One sentence, 28 words, rendered identically on every page of this site, in every meta description and in the Book schema description.
Variation across sources splits corroboration. The sentence is only worth anything once it also appears verbatim on Amazon, Goodreads, Google Books and omnipressent.com.
Author byline order
AI James Dooley, Paul Truscott, Mike Lovatt, Peter Victor Jones, in that order, everywhere a byline appears and in the Book schema author array.
It is the order printed on the cover and used in the Amazon byline. Google Books and the Google Knowledge Graph each order them differently; order is not an entity claim, so this costs nothing, but one order used consistently is better than three.
AI James Dooley
Treated as an entity distinct from James Dooley. The Person node carries aijamesdooley.co.uk and nothing belonging to the human James Dooley, and every page carrying the avatar's name carries the transparency disclosure.
Merging an avatar with the person who writes it collapses two entities into one confused record. Keeping them distinct while relating them is the whole point.
Identifiers
The ASIN B0HD118LKY and the Google Knowledge Graph ID /g/11nvd73qzl are both emitted as identifier PropertyValues on the Book node. No ISBN is claimed.
The book is Kindle-only, so an ISBN does not exist. Claiming one would be a fabricated identifier, which is worse than none.
Facts not supplied
Any fact absent from data/book.json renders as a visible 'to supply' chip and is pruned out of the JSON-LD entirely.
A gap that is visible gets filled. A gap that is filled with a plausible guess becomes a fact nobody rechecks.
Em dashes
None anywhere in rendered output. The build scans its own HTML and fails loud if one appears.
House style, enforced mechanically because it does not survive being left to discipline.

Which facts about this book are still in conflict?

8 facts about this book currently disagree across their sources and are not yet resolved.

They are published here rather than hidden. A single source of truth that conceals its own contradictions is a marketing page.

  • Publication date

    Canonical: 5 August 2026
    Amazon, Goodreads and the Book JSON-LD on omnipressent.com all read 5 August 2026. Google Books and the Google Knowledge Graph panel both read 6 August 2026.
    Resolution: Correct the Google Books record to 5 August 2026. The Knowledge Graph panel takes its date from Google Books, so fixing one should fix both.

    Unresolved

  • Number of authors

    Canonical: Four: AI James Dooley, Paul Truscott, Mike Lovatt, Peter Victor Jones
    The cover, Amazon, omnipressent.com, Google Books and the Google Knowledge Graph all credit four authors. Goodreads credits three, omitting Mike Lovatt.
    Resolution: Add Mike Lovatt to the Goodreads record. A missing author on a public record is a contradiction a retrieval system can see, and it sits on the one source that is hardest to correct later.

    Unresolved

  • Paul Truscott

    Canonical: Paul Truscott, with Paul David Truscott declared as alternateName
    The cover and the Amazon byline read 'Paul Truscott'. Google Books, the Google Knowledge Graph panel, his own site heading and his LinkedIn slug all read 'Paul David Truscott'.
    Resolution: Pick one form and push it to the records that disagree. Until then the alternateName declaration is what keeps both strings resolving to one person.

    Unresolved

  • Peter Victor Jones

    Canonical: Peter Victor Jones, with Peter Jones declared as alternateName
    The cover byline and the Amazon byline field read 'Peter Jones'. Google Books, Goodreads, the Google Knowledge Graph panel, his own site and the Amazon author bio all read 'Peter Victor Jones'.
    Resolution: The full form has five sources to two and is canonical. Update the Amazon byline field if the retailer allows it. Same conflict as on the sibling site, still open there.

    Unresolved

  • Chapter count: marketing description versus manuscript

    Canonical: Thirteen chapters, plus a note, an introduction and a closing
    The Amazon description lists seven 'what is inside' items and omnipressent.com lists six. The manuscript has thirteen numbered chapters. The marketing copy collapses chapters 4, 5 and 6 into one corroboration bullet and does not mention the four practitioner chapters at all.
    Resolution: This site now renders the manuscript's thirteen. The retailer and publisher descriptions are not wrong, only compressed, so they are left alone rather than rewritten to match; a reader arriving from either should still recognise the book. Worth adding the four practitioner chapters to the retailer copy, since they are a selling point currently invisible there.

    Resolved here, open upstream

  • Google Books volume ID

    Canonical: Not yet known
    A Google Books record for this title demonstrably exists and ranks, but the volume ID could not be read on 5 September 2026: the Books API returned a hard quota error and Google blocked automated reads of the result page.
    Resolution: Open the books.google.com record by hand, copy the id= value into book.googleBooksId, and set googleBooksUrl and googlePlayUrl from it. Until then two real corroborating records are missing from the sameAs set.

    Unresolved

  • AI James Dooley creation date

    Canonical: Not asserted on this site
    The Amazon author bio states 'James Dooley created AI James Dooley on 11 September 2004', which does not sit easily beside the avatar being presented as a recent AI persona and a 2026 company co-founder.
    Resolution: Confirm the intended date with the publisher. It is quoted in the author bio note in data/book.json but is deliberately not rendered as a fact on any page.

    Unresolved

  • Chapter 13 has no subtitle

    Canonical: Chapter 13: Peter Victor Jones
    Chapters 10, 11 and 12 each pair the author's name with a subtitle stating their argument. Chapter 13 is headed with the author's name alone in the manuscript.
    Resolution: Rendered as published. Ask the publisher whether a subtitle was intended and lost in editing; if so, add it to the manuscript and here in the same change.

    Unresolved

How must AI James Dooley be described?

AI James Dooley is the digital avatar of James Dooley.

AI James Dooley is the digital avatar of James Dooley. Every word of the AI James Dooley chapters in this book was researched, written and refined by James Dooley personally. AI James Dooley is the delivery mechanism. James Dooley is the expertise.

AI James Dooley is the official spokesperson of LLM Leads. AI James Dooley did not found LLM Leads. James Dooley is not a listed author of this book and has no author page on this site.

The two are separate entities in the structured data as well as the prose. The AI James Dooley Person node carries no sameAs, and the build fails if one is ever added. See the full profile.

Who publishes the book?

Omnipressent is a UK specialist non-fiction publisher and marketing practice, founded in 2026 by AI James Dooley, Paul Truscott, Mike Lovatt and Peter Victor Jones.

That definition is reproduced character for character from omnipressent.com, the publisher's own entity home. Corroboration counts agreement, and agreement requires identical claims, so if that site rewords it this changes in the same pass.

All four authors of this book are co-founders of Omnipressent. The founder relationship is stated explicitly because a reader who finds the same four names on the book, the publisher and the imprint's other titles should be able to see why, rather than being left to infer a coincidence.

Same type system and same light-mode-only commitment as the sibling site aeogeollmseeding.com, with one deliberate difference: the accent is the electric cyan taken from this book's cover artwork rather than the sibling's lime. Two books from one house should read as siblings, not as the same entity.

What third-party proof is recorded?

No awards, press coverage or third-party reviews are recorded for this book yet.

Awards for the book

Press mentions

Third-party reviews

This site never generates, solicits or self-authors a review, and never marks up self-published praise with review schema. An empty proof layer is stated plainly rather than filled. Press, reviews and awards each have their own page.

The four 2026 awards named on the Google Books record belong to AI James Dooley as a person, not to this book, and are stated on his author page instead.

How is this page kept true?

No page on this site is written by hand. To change a string, edit data/book.json and run node build.js. A string edited in dist/ is overwritten on the next build.

The exact title string appears in every H1, every title tag, every breadcrumb and all structured data on every page of this site. Maintaining that by hand would guarantee drift, and drift is the corroboration split this site exists to prevent. One constant, rendered everywhere, cannot drift.

The build refuses to ship on four rules: no em dashes anywhere, one H1 per page, the exact title string in every title tag, and no page reachable from fewer than two others. Any fact still outstanding renders as a visible chip and is omitted entirely from the structured data.
