Book
Discovery Audit
to be discovered.
We find the searches, questions and recommendation moments where readers are looking for a book like yours — before they know your title exists.
Book discovery
has changed.
Traditional book marketing often focuses on people who already know the author, title or launch.
But readers also search things like:
- “books like Normal People”
- “best literary fiction about toxic relationships”
- “books for women in their 30s”
- “best fantasy romance books”
- “what should I read after…”
Those searches influence what gets discovered.
And increasingly, so do AI tools, recommendation engines, editorial lists and search results.
The question is no longer just: Are people searching for your book?
It’s:
Does your book appear when people are searching for a book like yours?
We analyse the full
discovery journey.
Reader Search Intent
The questions, themes, comparisons and searches readers use before they know your title.
Google Visibility
Where your book, author and publisher appear — and where competing titles are winning instead.
AI & Recommendation Visibility
How your title is represented across emerging AI-led discovery and recommendation journeys.
Competitive Titles
The books consistently appearing for relevant reader searches and why they may be outperforming yours.
Content & Authority Gaps
Missing pages, topics, reviews, mentions and signals that could improve discoverability.
Prioritised Action Plan
Not a 100-page report nobody uses. Clear recommendations ranked by potential impact.

of search and books.

After years helping brands understand how customers discover, compare and choose products online, one question kept coming back:
Why aren’t publishers applying the same thinking to books?
The Book Discovery Audit applies commercial search and discovery thinking to publishing — helping brilliant books become easier to find.
We’re opening a small
number of pilot audits.
For the first publishers and authors we work with, the complete Book Discovery Audit is:
The purpose of the pilot is simple: prove the opportunity, refine the methodology and create measurable discovery improvements.
