Common questions
SpineRadar is a free book discovery scan. Paste your book's Amazon link and it asks ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini the questions readers ask, without naming your book, reads your Amazon page against Amazon's own rules, checks Goodreads, Wikidata, Wikipedia, YouTube and Reddit, and gives one score out of 100 with the three fixes worth most. It is the front door to Book Score, made by publishing.co.uk. Every AI answer is real, never simulated.
What do I need to give you?
Your book's Amazon link, on amazon.co.uk or amazon.com. Nothing else to start. The result opens with your email, so we can send you the report link.
What does the free scan actually run?
A real check: your Amazon page read and scored, three reader questions asked of ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini (nine real answers), and the web sources AI reads checked for your book. It takes about a minute.
Is this the same as Book Score?
Yes. SpineRadar is the front door to Book Score, the book discovery audit made by publishing.co.uk. Your report opens on bookscore.publishing.co.uk and stays there.
Can AI really change book sales?
Readers increasingly ask assistants what to read next, and the assistants name a small set of books again and again (see the AI Shelf above). Being on those lists is a route to readers. We measure it and show the fixes. We do not promise sales.
Do you log in to my KDP or Amazon account?
Never. We read public pages only. You make the changes yourself, or with us on the Done for you plan.
What about books not on Amazon?
Use the title check on Book Score. It finds the book by title and author and runs the same questions.
