SEO for Authors

How to name chapters and write descriptions so your stories appear on Google.

Search Engine Optimization is not just for businesses — it is for storytellers who want to be found. When naming your chapters, use descriptive titles that contain words real readers search for: 'The Betrayal of Kael' is better than 'Chapter 14'. Your story description should contain the genre, the core conflict, and a hook — all within 160 characters, which is what Google displays in search results.

Use your story's genre tags wisely — they function as keywords. Internal linking within SOULPAD also helps: the more your story is linked to by other authors and readers, the more authority it gains. Treat every title, description, and tag as a signal to search engines.

Consistency is what separates authors who are discovered from those who are hidden..
