Search engines and AI assistants now share the job of recommending books. Here is what that means for authors.
Start with your reader
Every good decision about a book, from title to ad copy, starts with a clear picture of who it's for. Write down three books your ideal reader loved last year. That list will shape your categories, keywords and the comparisons you make in your marketing.
Be consistent everywhere
Your author bio, book description and key facts should match across your website, retailers, Goodreads and social profiles. Consistency helps readers trust you, and it helps search engines and AI tools describe you accurately.
Plan beyond launch week
Launch week matters, but most books find their readers over months. Build a simple plan for reviews, newsletter swaps and content that keeps your book visible long after release.
