Book Schema in SureRank

This Feature Is Part of Pro Plan

The Book Schema in SureRank helps search engines understand your book content. By adding structured data, your books can become eligible for rich results in Google Search, displaying details like the book title, author, description, ISBN, publisher, publication date, and ratings.

This schema is especially useful for:

Authors promoting their books
Publishers listing new releases
Online bookstores showcasing book details
Educational websites referencing textbooks or study material

Adding a Book Schema can increase your book’s visibility in search results and attract more readers by highlighting key information like author, publication date, ratings, and description directly in Google Search.
