Nana Malone's baseline score
36/100
Lowlots of room to grow

Nana Malone has established authority in specific romance niches, but current AI visibility is concentrated in 'diverse romance' rather than broader genre discovery. By structuring site content around high-intent tropes, she can move from being a 'known author' to a 'frequent recommendation'.

What we see
  • Nana Malone has strong visibility in 'diverse romance' training data due to her long-standing bestseller status.
  • Visibility drops significantly in generic 'romantic suspense' queries where non-diverse legacy authors still dominate AI responses.
  • The use of Payhip for direct sales is currently invisible to AI agents, who primarily point users toward Amazon and Apple Books.
  • Specific trope-based searches (e.g., 'secret royalty') represent the largest untapped opportunity for her current bibliography.
Business goals Nana Malone is likely trying to hit
  • Increase direct-to-consumer book sales via the website shop
  • Secure more placements on AI-generated 'best of romance' book lists
  • Drive pre-orders for upcoming new releases through newsletter signups
  • Expand the visibility of backlist titles to new romance readers
