Do you have real experience marketing books and authors?

Yes. We build and support author and book client Shawne Jackson at shamonjgifts.com, an author and book store we built. We have served many industries since 1997 and hold a BBB A+ rating. We build author websites, book websites, and book landing pages as core work.

Can you show results, not just promises?

We report the numbers that matter and we do not invent figures. We track and report search rankings, website traffic, AI-search visibility, email list signups, book sales, and ad ROAS. You get clear reporting so you can see what each dollar does. We tell you what we can measure before we start, and we show the real data as it comes in.

Do you have a clear 12-month plan to launch 5 books?

Yes. We build the author brand and website first, then run each title through pre-launch, launch, and post-launch stages. Pre-launch builds the landing page, email list, and search and AI-search groundwork. Launch drives traffic, ads, and reviews. Post-launch keeps sales and rankings going while the next title moves into pre-launch, so five books stack across the year.

What exactly do you implement for SEO, AI search, and voice search?

We handle technical SEO, site speed, local SEO, and advanced schema markup including Book, Author, FAQ, Review, Event, Organization, and LocalBusiness. For AI search we run AEO, AIVO, GEO, and LLMO, and we add an llms.txt file so AI chatbots can read your site. For voice search we add Speakable optimization so assistants can read your answers aloud.

Do you have Facebook and Instagram advertising experience?

Yes. We run and manage Facebook, Meta, and Instagram ads as part of our services. We report ad ROAS so you can see the return on spend. We also handle email marketing, drip, and automation to keep readers engaged after the click.

Can you provide references?

Yes. We point to author and book client Shawne Jackson at shamonjgifts.com, a site we built and support. We also carry 62 reviews across Google, Clutch, Yelp, BBB, and DesignRush, plus a BBB A+ rating. You can reach us at sales@appwt.com or 888-565-0171 to talk through what fits your books.

Who actually does the work?

AppWT does the work. We are your single partner, all under one roof, so one company owns your website, branding, AI visibility, SEO, content, and paid ads. You do not chase separate freelancers or wait on hand-offs. You get one point of contact and one plan for all five books.

How is success measured?

We set clear targets and report against them every month. Success shows up in search rankings, website traffic, AI-search visibility, email list signups, book sales, and ad ROAS. We report the real numbers with no invented figures. If a target needs work, we adjust the plan and tell you why.

Can one partner handle everything, instead of separate freelancers?

Yes. We run websites, branding, AI visibility, SEO, content marketing, email automation, video, and paid ads together as one partner. One partner keeps your message, schema, and ads in sync across all five books. This removes the gaps that show up when three or four vendors work apart.

Do you understand romance authors, indie authors, and Charm City Romanticon in the Baltimore area?

Yes. Charm City Romanticon is an annual indie romance event at Turf Valley Resort in Ellicott City, Maryland, about 25 minutes from Baltimore, or Charm City. It runs in April, and the next one is April 2-3, 2027, with panel sessions, a Saturday book signing, an evening PJ party banquet, and Sunday workshops. We serve authors in Baltimore, Ellicott City, Howard County, and across Maryland. We are an independent marketing partner for authors who attend, not affiliated with or endorsed by the event.

Do you optimize Amazon and Goodreads?

Yes. We can include Amazon and Goodreads optimization in your plan. We can also include Google Business Profile optimization. These sit alongside your website, schema, and ads so readers find your books wherever they search.

Why build an author brand first instead of marketing one title at a time?

An author brand carries readers from one book to the next, so each launch builds on the last instead of starting cold. We set up your website, schema, email list, and AI-search visibility once, then reuse that base for all five titles. This lowers cost per book and grows your reader list across the whole year. One strong brand sells five books better than five separate campaigns.
