For independent & academic authors

Get your book found — without waiting on the algorithm.

Amazon, Apple, and Google decide who discovers your book with a hidden algorithm. Discoverly checks the parts you can actually control, tells you exactly what to fix, and helps you build the one audience no platform can bury: your own.

Built by Dr. Zahir Hasan — professor, author, and nonprofit founder who ran this exact audit on his own upcoming book before writing a line of code.

Why good books stay invisible

It's rarely the writing. It's usually one of these.

The algorithm rewards books that already sell

Amazon, Apple, and Google surface what's already popular — which makes it hard for anyone starting from zero, no matter how good the book is.

Most tools weren't built for books

Generic SEO and marketing software doesn't understand how book search, categories, or backend keywords actually work on these platforms.

Authors rarely build their own audience

A mailing list is the one audience no platform can bury or take away — and almost no one sets one up before they need it.

How Discoverly helps

Four things, in one place, instead of five different sites and a spreadsheet.

Analyze your listing

Title, subtitle, keywords, and description checked against what readers actually search for.

Fix what's ranked highest-impact

A short, ordered list — not a 40-item checklist you'll never finish.

Build your own audience

Guided email list setup and a simple promotion calendar for BookBub, libraries, and beyond.

Track it over time

One dashboard for visibility score, subscriber growth, and where your book is actually available.

Real audit, not a demo

We ran this on a real nonfiction book before its launch.

Before writing any of Discoverly's code, we did the audit by hand on an unpublished book heading to Amazon KDP — the same way the product will eventually do it automatically. Here's what it actually caught:

5 of 7 keyword slots repeated the same word already covered by the title — wasted space that could have captured entirely new searches.

The description was one dense paragraph. Rewriting it as short, scannable blocks made it far easier to finish on a phone.

No reviews were lined up for launch week — the exact window Amazon's algorithm weighs most heavily.

Questions

Is Discoverly affiliated with Amazon, Apple, or Google?

No. We're independent — we just help you work with those platforms' search systems more effectively, and build visibility outside them too.

What do you need from me?

Just the information already on your book's listing — title, subtitle, description, and keywords. We never ask for your Amazon, Apple, or bank account credentials.

When does it launch?

We're onboarding founding members in small batches so we can get this right. Joining the waitlist puts you first in line.

Is my information safe?

We only ever work with information you choose to share with us about your own book. Nothing is sold or shared with third parties.
