FOR AUTHORS — POWERED BY CONVERSATIONOS

You wrote the book. The conversation about your topic is already happening. Your readers are arguing, searching, and asking AI who the authority is. Your name isn't coming up. We change that. Live.

$497 — one conversation. A permanent presence that compounds forever.

THE PROBLEM

You published a book.
The conversation is happening without you.

Your readers are on Reddit asking your exact question. They're prompting ChatGPT and Perplexity for recommendations in your category. They're in communities arguing about the exact problem your book solves. And every single one of them has never heard your name. That's not a marketing problem. That's a conversation problem.

WITHOUT GUEST ENGINE
  • Your only online presence is an Amazon listing you don't control
  • You've pitched 50 podcasts and heard back from two — neither had a real audience
  • PR firms laugh at budgets under $3,000/month and deliver press releases nobody reads
  • When someone Googles your name, they get your Amazon page, a LinkedIn with 300 connections, and nothing else
  • AI search engines — Perplexity, ChatGPT, Gemini — surface other authors when asked about your exact topic
WITH GUEST ENGINE
  • A permanent, indexed profile page that ranks alongside your Amazon listing when someone Googles your name
  • Video proof you're a thought leader — a produced segment, not a selfie in a ring light
  • 5 clips cut for LinkedIn, Instagram, and X that position you as the authority, not just the author
  • A speaker reel that gets you booked for paid keynotes (the thing event planners actually watch)
  • Backlinks from the Guest Engine network that lift your personal site's domain authority
  • Structured data that teaches AI search engines who you are, what you wrote, and why you're the expert
  • A content asset you created once and that compounds in search rankings forever
  • Intelligence enrichment — audience data, credentials, and competitive positioning from ConversationOS
  • V3.1 Authority Page — not just a profile, a living intelligence document
  • 4 AI-generated authority visuals
  • Downloadable media kit PDF

SIGNAL ENGINE

We found the conversation.
Now we put you in it.

Before you walk on set, ConversationOS researches 30 days of community discourse around your book, your category, and your ideas. Keith walks in knowing what your readers are arguing about, what your critics are saying, and what your best line has been this month. You don't just show up. You arrive prepared for the conversation that's already been waiting for you.

SIGNAL BRIEF TOMMY SHORT — The Call I Almost Missed — April 2026
The Grenade

The question that creates the moment

“The science says dads on their phones damage their kids less than moms. Your entire book is built on your guilt as a distracted father. Was that guilt earned — or were you performing penance for something that wasn’t actually the crisis you thought it was?”

The Mirror

Your best line, identified

“Presence isn’t proximity. It’s attention.”

The Call I Almost Missed, published 9 days ago. Signal ENGINE found this in your book. Keith quoted it back to you on air. That became the clip.

The Community Question

What your audience is actually arguing about

415 upvotes on Reddit, January 2026: “Why does men’s self-improvement only revolve around gym and money?” — Men are starving for exactly what you wrote. Signal ENGINE connected you to that conversation before you said a word.

SIGNAL SCORE 74/100 Active community discourse · Recent book launch · Category momentum

Forever. Your Guest Engine profile is a permanent, indexed page. It ranks on Google and is structured for AI search engines like Perplexity, ChatGPT, and Gemini. It compounds in authority over time — it doesn't expire, get archived, or disappear behind a paywall.

When someone Googles your name, they'll find your Guest Engine profile alongside your Amazon page, giving them multiple ways to buy.
Podcast booking agencies charge $3,500– 8,000 to get you on 8–24 shows. They handle the booking. That's it. No profile page, no clips, no SEO, no structured data. Guest Engine gives you a produced appearance, 5 clips, 10 social posts, a permanent SEO profile, backlinks, and a highlight reel — all for $497.
That's exactly who this is for. Sophia, our AI producer, handles your prep — topic angles, talking points, and a green room briefing before you go live. You show up prepared. We handle the production.

THE MATH

One appearance.
A lifetime of visibility.

A PR firm charges $3,000–$5,000/month to place you. A podcast booking agency charges $8,000–$18,000 for 12 shows. Guest Engine charges $497 — once. The conversation produces the content. The profile compounds the authority. And Signal ENGINE makes sure the conversation that happens is the one your readers actually needed to see.
