SAPPHIRE $867
Expanded Discovery Foundation | Everything in Emerald plus multi-platform presence and library access
WHO THIS PACKAGE IS FOR
The Sapphire package is for the author who understands their Amazon presence matters but also wants their book to exist in more places than Amazon. Library readers are serious readers who drive sales. The StoryGraph is growing rapidly and surfaces books based on mood and theme which is exactly the emotional language gap work we do. Multi-platform distribution means reaching readers who never go to Amazon at all. This package closes the language gap and then extends the book's presence across four additional permanent discovery channels.
THE ADDITIONAL PROBLEM THIS SOLVES
Many serious readers do not use Amazon as their primary book discovery tool. They use Libby to borrow from libraries. They use The StoryGraph because it recommends by mood. They use Apple Books or Kobo because they prefer those ecosystems. An author who only exists on Amazon is invisible to all of these readers. The Sapphire package does everything Emerald does and then places the book in front of these additional reader groups through channels that require no ongoing maintenance once established.

# | DELIVERABLE | WHAT IT DOES FOR YOUR BOOK |
|---|---|---|
1 | Reader Language Gap Research | Deep research into the exact words, phrases, and emotional language real readers use when searching for books in this category. We mine Amazon autocomplete, reader reviews of competing titles, Goodreads shelving language, and community forum discussions to build a complete map of how this book's readers actually search. |
2 | Gap Documentation Report | A detailed written report showing the author side by side: the language their book currently uses versus the language their readers use when searching. This is the proof that makes the gap undeniable and forms the foundation for every optimisation that follows. |
3 | Amazon Full Listing Audit and Optimisation | Complete review and rewrite of the book's Amazon presence. This covers the title presentation, subtitle positioning, book description rewritten in reader language, all seven backend keyword fields replaced with high-intent reader phrases, both category selections reviewed and repositioned for maximum discoverability, and BISAC code alignment checked. This is the single most impactful change that can be made to a book's discoverability because it directly affects how Amazon's algorithm surfaces the book in search results. |
4 | Amazon Author Central Profile Build and Optimisation | Review, claim, and full optimisation of the author's Amazon Author Central page. This includes the author biography rewritten to connect professionally with the book's reader audience, all published titles linked and connected, editorial reviews added where available, and author photo and header image guidance provided. A strong Author Central page increases the conversion rate of everyone who visits the book's listing. |
5 | Goodreads Profile Audit and Full Optimisation | Complete audit of the author's Goodreads presence. If a profile exists it is fully optimised with updated biography, all books claimed and connected, genres and shelving tags aligned with reader language, and Goodreads author program activated if not already done. If no profile exists it is built from the ground up. Goodreads now feeds Amazon's recommendation system and AI book discovery engines simultaneously making this a three-channel investment in a single action. |
6 | Subtitle Positioning Review | The subtitle is one of the most overlooked and most powerful keyword fields available to an author. We review the current subtitle against what readers are actually searching for and provide a documented recommendation for how the subtitle could be repositioned to dramatically improve search discoverability without changing the book itself. |
7 | Reader Language Summary Document | A clean, formatted reference document delivered to the author showing the complete reader language map for their book. This includes the top twenty search phrases their readers use, the emotional states those phrases represent, and the gap between current book language and reader search language. This document is useful for every future marketing activity the author undertakes. |

What This Package Adds
1
StoryGraph Profile Build and Optimisation
The StoryGraph is the fastest growing Goodreads alternative with over one million active users and mood-based, theme-based discovery at its core. It surfaces books based on how a reader is feeling, not just what genre they are searching for. This connects directly to the emotional language gap work. We build or fully optimise the author's StoryGraph profile, ensuring the book appears when readers search by mood, pacing, themes, and emotional experience rather than just title or author name.
2
Library System Placement via OverDrive and Libby
OverDrive serves over 87,000 libraries in 115 countries. Libby is the app millions of library patrons use daily to borrow ebooks and audiobooks. We audit the book's current library availability, identify gaps in distribution, and execute submission through the appropriate distribution pathways to ensure the book is accessible to library systems globally. Library readers are among the most engaged readers in the world. They finish books they borrow and they buy the ones they love. Library placement is a permanent passive discovery channel that costs nothing once established.
3
Hoopla Distribution Audit and Placement
Hoopla is a library borrowing platform that operates on an unlimited simultaneous borrowing model meaning every patron can access the book at the same time with no waitlist. This makes Hoopla placement particularly powerful for driving volume borrowing and discovery. We audit current Hoopla availability and execute placement where it is missing.
4
Multi-Platform Distribution Audit
A full audit of where the book currently exists across all major retail platforms including Apple Books, Kobo, Barnes and Noble, and Google Play Books. We document every gap and provide a prioritised action plan showing the author exactly which platforms to add distribution to and why. For authors already distributed widely we audit the metadata quality on each platform and provide specific correction recommendations.
5
Metadata Harmonisation Report
When a book exists on multiple platforms it must present itself identically across all of them in reader language not author language. Inconsistent metadata across platforms confuses retail algorithms and splits the book's discoverability signal. We audit every platform the book exists on, identify all inconsistencies, and deliver a documented correction plan showing exactly what needs to change on each platform to present a unified, reader-language metadata profile globally.
6
ISBN and Bowker Database Registration Check
Bowker is the official US ISBN registry and its database feeds directly into retailer catalogues, library systems, and book industry databases globally. We verify the book's ISBN registration is complete, accurate, and using reader-aligned language in every field. Corrections are documented and recommendations provided for any fields that are missing or using author language instead of reader language.

HOW EVERY ENGAGEMENT WORKS
Every InsightIgnite package follows the same process structure regardless of which package the author selects.
1
Research
Before any work begins we conduct deep research into the author's book, their Amazon listing, their current platform presence, their reader community, and the language their readers use when searching. This research takes one to three business days depending on package level.
2
Gap Documentation
We document every gap found in a clear, readable report. The author sees exactly what the gap is before we close it. This creates certainty and removes any doubt about whether the work is relevant to their specific book.
3
Execution
We execute all deliverables systematically, working through each layer in priority order. Amazon optimisation first. Goodreads next. Then platform by platform following the sequence that maximises compounding effect.
5
Delivery
All documentation, reports, and evidence of every action taken is compiled into the Master Changes Report and delivered to the author. This report is the author's permanent record of everything that was done.
4
Verification
Every change made is verified live before being documented. We do not report that something has been done until we have confirmed it is live and correct.
6
Monitoring (Platinum only)
Monthly monitoring checks run for three months following delivery. Any drift or new gaps are addressed immediately.
