Be visible: optimise your website for search, then wow your readers.
Readers can’t buy your books if they can’t find you. In this practical, high-energy session with CEO of Digital Authors Toolkit Stu Grant, you’ll learn how to boost your visibility on Google and the new wave of AI-powered search, known as GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation).
We’ll cover what gets results: a well-structured, optimised author website, schema markup that search engines and AI can understand, and quick wins you can apply in minutes.
Along the way, Stu will demo some showstopping tech to spark fresh marketing ideas, from animated covers to augmented reality and other clever ways to turn curiosity into clicks, subscribers, and book sales.
All four talks on Friday are geared towards those who have finished their book or are nearing the end, and what to know to do next.
Book all four Friday talks for the price of three and save £10.
There will also be a headshot photography studio for those writers and authors that need that all-important professional headshot for their book covers, social media and website.
This talk is sponsored by Digital Authors Toolkit and Build Your Author Brand.
