Book SEO
Keyword research, metadata and description work designed to improve how your book is found on Amazon, Goodreads and search engines.
Introduction
Most books are never found because of how they are described, categorised and indexed — not because of the writing. Book SEO is the discipline of making your title legible to the systems readers actually search with: retailer search bars, Goodreads, and search engines. We research the language your readers already use, then align your metadata, categories and description to it.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can you guarantee a ranking?+
No. No one can. Retailer and search rankings depend on factors outside any agency's control. Our work is designed to improve discoverability and give your book the strongest possible chance of being surfaced.
Do you need access to my retailer account?+
Not necessarily. We can deliver copy and metadata recommendations for you to apply, or work alongside you if you prefer.
How long does it take?+
Timelines are scoped per book after we review the title and its current listing.
