The Challenge

Authors write great books, but readers cannot find them. A book gets lost when the author has no clear website, no landing page for each title, and no plan for search. Today readers do not only use Google. They ask AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Copilot for book picks, and those tools cannot see or recommend a book that is not set up for them. Ads, email, Amazon, and Goodreads all need to work together, and most authors do not have the time or one partner to run all of it. Indie authors, including romance authors near Baltimore and Ellicott City, Maryland, feel this most, because the market is crowded and small budgets have to count.

Our Solution

AppWT builds and runs your book and author marketing as one partner, so you can keep writing. We put your author brand first, then build your website and a landing page for each book. We set up SEO, local SEO, and AI-search visibility with AIVO, AEO, GEO, and LLMO, plus voice-search, Speakable markup, Book and Author and Review schema, and an llms.txt file, so Google and AI tools both find and recommend your work. We run your Facebook and Instagram ads, your email list, your content, and your video, and we tune Amazon, Goodreads, and Google Business Profile. We track search rankings, website traffic, AI-search visibility, email signups, book sales, and ad ROAS, and we report the numbers plainly. A Michigan company since 1997 with a BBB A+ rating serves authors across the USA, and we give a warm welcome to Baltimore, Charm City, and Ellicott City, Maryland authors.

About Our Book and Author Marketing Services

Your book deserves readers, and your author name deserves to be found. AppWT builds and runs full book and author marketing for authors and publishers of every kind, from fiction and nonfiction to children's books, romance, thrillers, memoir, poetry, and business and self-help. We make your website, your book pages, and your name show up when readers search on Google and when they ask AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Copilot. We are a Michigan family-owned company, in business since 1997, with a BBB A+ rating and 62 reviews across Google, Clutch, Yelp, BBB, and DesignRush. We build your author brand first, then wrap it in the marketing that sells books.

Here is what we handle for you as your single partner. We design your author website and a clean landing page for each book. We add SEO and local SEO so readers find you by name and by title. We set up AI-search visibility, called AIVO, AEO, GEO, and LLMO, plus voice-search and Speakable markup so smart speakers and AI chat can read your work out loud. We add advanced schema for Book, Author, FAQ, Review, and Event, and an llms.txt file so AI tools read your site the right way. We run your Facebook, Meta, and Instagram ads, your email list and drip campaigns, your content, and your video, including Reels and Shorts. We can tune your Amazon, Goodreads, and Google Business Profile too. You get one partner for all of it, and clear reports on what is working.

We serve authors across the entire United States, with a home base in Michigan and Metro Detroit, and we also work with authors in Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia. We help you win at reader events and conventions too, from local signings to national shows. One example is Charm City Romanticon, the indie romance weekend at Turf Valley Resort in Ellicott City, Maryland, near Baltimore, where we help attending authors get found before, during, and after the show. Whether you write for a national audience or a focused community, we get your books found. Under-promise, over-deliver is our promise. Real proof: we built and support author and book client Shawne Jackson at shamonjgifts.com. Call 888-565-0171 or email sales@appwt.com to start.
