For authors.
Get your books found. Keep the readers who find them.
Readers search for you on Google and land on Amazon, Goodreads or nothing at all. The ones who finish your book never hear from you again. We fix both, then automate the work so your next launch runs while you write.
No card, no contract. Findings within 2 business days. Prefer chat? Ask on WhatsApp.

Three things you get before you pay anything
Paid author audits usually cost $97 to $150. Ours is free, and so are the other two. You see what's wrong, what we'd automate and the quality of the work first. Then you decide.
Author visibility audit
We check what a reader finds when they search your name and every title: Google, your website, your Amazon author and book pages, Goodreads, your book description and your email signup. Written findings within 2 business days.
Launch automation map
A one-page plan for your next launch: every email, reminder and review request, with the date it goes out. Yours to keep, even if you run it yourself.
Your first fix
We fix the quickest high-impact problem the audit finds, like a broken link preview or a missing sitemap, so you see the work before you pay for any.
Sound familiar?
Google sends readers somewhere else
Search your name or your title and Amazon, Goodreads or Instagram comes first. Sometimes your site is not there at all.
Readers finish the book and vanish
No newsletter, no next step, no way to reach them when the next book comes out.
Every launch starts from zero
Reminder emails, advance copies, review requests and posts, all by hand. Sales fade after two weeks and you start again.
The website was a weekend job
Built on a template or an AI builder, and nobody has checked whether Google can read it.

No renewal trap
Stop working with us and your site stays online
Some author website providers take your site offline when you stop paying a yearly fee, and you can't add a page without asking them. We set everything up on your own accounts: the domain, the site, the email list and every automation. You can edit any of it. If you stop working with us, it all keeps running.
Monthly author care
Want us to keep it running for you?
- Site updates: new books, covers, buy links, events and press
- Your newsletter, written with you and sent on schedule
- Launch support for every new release
- New SEO pages each month and a short report on what is ranking
- A monthly check that every automation still runs
Month to month. Stop anytime, and everything stays yours.

Guides for authors
Questions
Is the audit really free?
Yes. No card and no contract. You send your name, your titles and your website, and you get the written findings within 2 business days. The audit covers Google, your website, your Amazon author and book pages, Goodreads, your book description and your email signup. You keep it whether or not you hire us.
How long does an author website take?
14 days from the day we have your content: book covers, descriptions, your bio and buy links. A fix to your current site takes 3 to 5 days.
Do I need a new website?
Not always. If your current site works, we fix what’s holding it back. If it can’t be fixed properly, the audit says so plainly.
Does this replace Amazon?
No. Amazon stays where most of your sales happen. This makes sure readers who search for you find your own site too, and that you can reach them again for the next book.
Which email tool do you use?
The one you already have, like MailerLite, Kit or Mailchimp. If you don’t have one, we recommend one with a free plan and set it up for you.
How long does SEO take to show results?
Fixes to how Google reads your site can show within a few weeks. New pages usually take two to four months to rank. That’s why we start well before a launch whenever we can.
Do you write my content?
We write the technical and SEO copy, like page descriptions and welcome email drafts, and you approve every word. Your books and your voice stay yours.
My publisher runs my author page. Can you still help?
Yes. We set up a site you own alongside it, and the email list is yours whatever your publisher does.
Who owns everything at the end?
You do. The site, the domain, the email list and every automation run on your own accounts. If you stop working with us, everything keeps running.
Send three things. Get your audit in 2 business days.
Your name, your book titles and your website if you have one. That's all we need.
