We spend a lot of time talking about Amazon (and that matters) but when was the last time you searched for your name or book on Google? Did your website show up? Or is your author website getting lost in the vast expanse of the internet? While Amazon visibility is crucial, Google matters just as much when it comes to connecting with readers and maintaining relationships with them beyond the purchase. This is especially critically if you plan to release more than one title. In this episode, we’ll explore how to play nice with the Google machine using straightforward SEO strategies. Forget the confusing jargon—we’re breaking down SEO into simple, actionable steps that will help you boost your online presence. Whether you’re building your brand or trying to drive traffic to your books or business, this episode will give you the tools and roadmap you need to ensure your site stands out where it counts most! Grab a pen or pencil and be prepared to take notes!
