More than a campaign dashboard

Three moments have to work together.

Advertising creates the introduction. The book page earns the decision. The reading experience and catalog determine what that new relationship can become.

1

Help readers discover you

Put the right promise in front of audiences who are likely to care about the genre, story, or problem your book addresses.

  • Amazon Ads
  • Meta ads
  • Reels
  • Social creative
2

Give them a reason to choose

Advertising cannot permanently compensate for a weak retail page. Cover, blurb, categories, keywords, sample, and A+ Content carry the decision forward.

  • Positioning
  • Blurbs
  • Keywords
  • A+ Content
3

Measure what happens next

For series authors, Book 1 is often the beginning of the economics—not the complete value of the reader relationship.

  • KENP
  • Read-through
  • Repeat readers
  • Audience growth
Measure the job you hired the campaign to do

A useful dashboard is a compass—not the destination.

ACoS, spend, clicks, conversion, orders, and CPC matter. They help us diagnose the campaigns. They simply do not capture every organic order, later series purchase, page read, follower, or returning reader.

That is why we combine platform reporting with the author-side evidence available for the actual objective.

A higher ACoS is not a free pass. It raises the evidence requirement. Read-through and organic effects should be measured where possible—not assumed because they make an uncomfortable number easier to defend.

How we help

Choose the pieces your catalog needs. Connect them when the evidence supports it.

Not every author needs every channel. Adverley can manage a focused advertising program or coordinate the wider reader journey when that additional scope has a clear job.

What does Adverley mean by its “A10 Program”?

Some clients know our connected service by that internal name. It describes Adverley’s integrated approach to discovery, conversion, content, and catalog value. It is not an official Amazon product, certification, ranking guarantee, or claim that we have private access to Amazon’s algorithm.

Ways to work together

Start with the smallest scope that can answer the real question.

These are flexible operating models, not rigid packages. We review the catalog and recommend the combination that makes strategic and financial sense.

Pricing principle: Adverley charges a flat management fee based on scope—not a percentage of advertising spend. Media budgets are paid separately to the platforms. Exact scope and fee are confirmed after the catalog review.

A clear operating rhythm

Research. Build. Learn. Improve.

No responsible agency can guarantee sales, rankings, or reader behavior. We can make the work disciplined, visible, and connected to the objective established before the data arrives.

1

Review the catalog

Books, positioning, existing data, budget, goals, and operational constraints.

2

Build the priority

The channel, listing, audience, offer, or measurement issue that deserves attention first.

3

Test with purpose

Campaigns and creative launched with a defined job and enough variation to teach us something.

4

Improve from evidence

Protect, revise, pause, or expand based on the combined platform and client-side picture.

Real cases, practical frameworks, and the limitations left in.

We distinguish recorded facts, client-reported evidence, estimates, and reasonable interpretation. That same discipline guides account decisions.

Case studies describe specific accounts and observation windows. Client-reported evidence is identified as such. Examples are not guarantees; outcomes vary by book, genre, packaging, audience, budget, timing, and market conditions.

Adverley’s operating roots in author advertising go back to 2018; the company itself was founded in 2020. Today, Gerardo leads a specialist team working across campaigns, copy, creative, listings, and measurement.

Keeping the team close means a cover, blurb, audience, campaign, or unusual result can be considered as part of the same reader journey—not passed between disconnected departments.

Before we talk

Questions authors usually ask

Who is the strongest fit for Adverley?

We work with independent authors and small publishers. A strong fit usually includes professionally packaged books, a realistic testing budget, access to the data needed for the objective, and a willingness to improve the campaign or conversion path when the evidence points there. Series catalogs often offer more ways to measure downstream reader value, but standalones and launches can still have valid goals.

Does a high ACoS automatically mean the account is failing?

No. ACoS compares ad spend with attributed advertising sales; it does not settle catalog-level profitability by itself. KENP, organic activity, read-through, later purchases, and the campaign’s intended job may change the decision. However, a high ACoS requires stronger evidence—not a blanket defense.

Can Adverley guarantee sales, ranking, or a target ACoS?

No responsible marketing partner can guarantee reader response, platform behavior, sales, rank, or a fixed efficiency result. We can control research, execution, testing, monitoring, communication, and the care used to manage the budget.

How quickly should an author expect useful evidence?

Early signals can appear within weeks, but reliable decisions often require a longer testing window. Spend, traffic, genre, conversion, catalog depth, seasonality, and platform behavior all affect timing. For ongoing management, authors should generally be prepared to evaluate roughly a three-month body of evidence. This is a planning guideline, not a result guarantee.

Who owns the advertising accounts and data?

The client. Campaigns are managed in client-owned accounts whenever the platform permits it, so the advertising history and data stay with the author or publisher.

How does pricing work?

Adverley uses a flat management fee based on the agreed scope rather than charging a percentage of advertising spend. Media spend is paid separately to the platforms. After reviewing the catalog and goals, we recommend the smallest useful scope and confirm the fee before work begins.
