Paper Door Metadata Services
Good metadata is essential.
It's also a pain.
The distributed information and data that describe your books drive discovery, help consumers and booksellers better understand your titles, and, when done well, improve conversions at the point of sale. It's incredibly important. But if you're like most independent publishers, you got into book publishing specifically to avoid things like ONIX feeds, markup languages, data entry, and proprietary CMS platforms.
Fortunately, we can help. Paper Door offers a variety of metadata optimization and management services to help independent publishers improve the data they distribute to booksellers. Better discovery, better sales, and less headache. With Paper Door supporting your metadata requirements, you can focus on the things that matter—expanding your list and growing your imprint.
