About

The need for high quality metadata is more important than ever.

Our Publisher Health Check report will provide an overview on the quality of the data Nielsen BookData holds for your titles. We will provide you with statistics around your data completeness and make recommendations on how you can improve your title listings ensuring all your metadata elements are complete and up-to-date.

According to Nielsen BookData’s latest research titles meeting the BIC basic requirements enjoy double the average sales of books that don’t meet that standard and books with the five key descriptive data elements on average experience sales three times higher than those with no descriptive elements.

Packages

There are three packages available depending on what data you currently supply to us:

Gold Health Check
For publishers, distributors or sales reps with between 500 and 25,000 title records.
