A rare team of true SEO experts (with a background working for some of the world’s top publishers )
Aloha, friends,
I’m Claire, the Founder of Aloha Life Digital. I’m an award-winning British entrepreneur, based in Boston, Massachusetts.
Before my career as an SEO specialist, I spent over a decade working for Penguin Random House and Oxford University Press, in a mix of editorial, content, and business roles. I’ve also worked in a freelance capacity for many other top publishing houses, including Pearson and Macmillan.
This insider knowledge gives me and my team a deep understanding of how publishing really works, enabling us to maintain your editorial integrity whilst boosting online visibility.
I’ve worked with digital content for nearly two decades, building and scaling my own businesses to over $1m/year.
When I started Aloha Life Digital, I took the opportunity to combine my expertise in SEO with my team’s passion for high quality content. We love working with publishers of all sizes around the globe.
If this sounds like something that would suit your business, I’d love to chat.

PROVEN PROCESS
Here’s how we do it
We follow a clear 3-step process with all our clients to ensure results
Step 1 Learn
We take the time to really get to know your business, products and target markets, through conversations with you and your team, and our own research.
Step 2 Connect
We optimize your site structure, category pages, and metadata to make your titles and authors appear when readers are searching by genre, subject, or specific names.
Our strategies are designed to support both backlist visibility and new releases, helping your entire catalogue work harder for you online.
Step 3 Build
Once we have a strategic direction, we make sure your website is capable of converting visitors to sales, then we start to build.
We build authority, credibility, and trust through a mixture of new and optimized content and links.
We work with you to achieve key business goals, whether that’s attracting author submissions, growing a mailing list, or building authority in your niche.

FRequently asked questions
Publishing SEO FAQs
How can SEO help people discover our books or authors?
SEO makes your content more visible to customers who are actively searching for it. Whenever someone is looking for a specific title, a genre, or a topic you specialize in, we optimize your site so your books and authors appear in those search results.
What’s the benefit of SEO for an independent publisher?
While you may not have the same marketing budget as a large press, a strong search presence helps your books and authors get discovered organically. SEO also supports your credibility and builds long-term visibility in markets where you already have expertise.
How long does SEO take to show results in publishing?
Most publishers see early improvements in search visibility and traffic within 3 to 6 months. That might mean better rankings for book titles, author pages, or category keywords. Over time, as your site gains authority and relevance, you’ll see sustainable results that help your business grow.
What’s the difference between SEO and digital marketing for publishers?
In a nutshell, digital marketing delivers short-term visibility, while SEO drives long-term discoverability. SEO helps your content appear in unpaid search results, so readers find you whenever they’re actively looking. Digital marketing can be a great way to broadcast your brand message, but the ads stop working the moment you stop paying.
