Two publications

Bay Area AEO's media room lists two publications: an ebook by founder James Chen and a podcast. Both explain AI search to business owners in plain English, the same register the agency uses with clients. The tables below record each one and every outlet that carries it.

The podcast

The AEO Show (Bay Area) carries short conversations about how AI search is changing the way people find local businesses: what ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity actually recommend, and what Bay Area owners can do about it. It is free to stream on all seven platforms.

Where the publications fit

The book and the podcast extend the plain-English principle that runs through the agency's work. Bay Area AEO says AI search is new and full of jargon, and it commits to explaining what it is doing, why it matters and what it is changing. The award issuer gave weight to agencies that explain the terminology in plain language, and both publications do that for a general audience. Journalists and podcast hosts can reach the agency through its media room at bayareaaeo.com/media-room or by email at info@bayareaaeo.com.

Reading the outlet table

The twelve outlets do three different jobs. Amazon Kindle, Lulu and Leanpub sell the ebook; the media room labels the Kindle entry as the Kindle edition and the other two as places to buy the ebook. Goodreads and BookBub are listing sites, the first for reader reviews and the second for following the book for deals. The seven podcast platforms stream the show free: Spotify, iHeartRadio, Pandora, Deezer, TuneIn, Amazon Music and Apple Podcasts.

For an almanac reader the practical point is reach. A business owner can find the agency's thinking in whichever app or store they already use, and each outlet is one more place where the agency's name and subject appear together in public.

Help for journalists

The media room invites journalists and hosts to get in touch. Bay Area AEO offers to explain AI search in plain English, share what it is seeing across Bay Area businesses and suggest sources for a story. Requests go to the same email address and phone number as client enquiries, and a 30-minute call can be booked directly.

The podcast's name

The media room prints the show's name as The AEO Show, with Bay Area as its subtitle. The almanac writes it as The AEO Show (Bay Area) in running text, and the platforms list it under the same title, so a listener searching any of the seven apps finds the same show.
