Frequently Asked Questions about Eloquence on Demand
-
How do we fix 'ghost' listings and ensure our books rank properly across all retail sites?
The most effective way to eliminate ghost listings and poor rankings is to adopt a “single source of truth” for your product data. By centralizing your metadata in Eloquence on Demand, you eliminate the menial, redundant data entry into multiple retailer portals that often leads to errors and fragmented listings. Eloquence on Demand automatically pushes your pristine, highly specific metadata—including extensive keyword strings and niche categories—to more than 600 global trading partners simultaneously, ensuring your titles are consistently and accurately represented everywhere. Additionally, automatic monthly full data sends can help partners ensure your product listings are correct.
-
How does a metadata management system help us optimize for modern AI-powered search engines?
Modern search algorithms and AI require highly structured, consistently formatted data to effectively index and display your products. Eloquence on Demand acts as your central distribution hub, seamlessly delivering richly formatted bibliographic data, including extensive descriptive copy, table of contents, and contributor biographies. By providing the “Gold Standard” of formatted metadata to search channels like Amazon, your catalog becomes easily readable and highly discoverable by advanced algorithms. Additionally, connecting your website to this powerful data feed helps you reach consumers more effectively and makes your website the canonical reference for your title information.
-
How do we transition our catalog from ONIX 2.1 to ONIX 3 to meet evolving retailer requirements?
You do not need to manually convert files or hire developers to meet retailer requirements. Eloquence on Demand automatically handles the complex creation and delivery of standard ONIX 2.1, ONIX 3, and custom metadata feeds for you. You simply maintain your core title information in the system, and we automatically generate and transmit the correct ONIX version required by each specific trading partner.
-
How do we efficiently manage multiple ISBNs for the same title across Print, ebook, and Audio formats?
Our system easily manages complex product relationships by allowing you to link multiple formats of the same work together. The system assigns ISBNs from your prefix blocks and propagates all key bibliographic information from the primary format (e.g., print) to the secondary formats (e.g., ebook, audio). Eloquence on Demand then securely delivers the distinct metadata and digital assets (including EPUBs and audio files) for all formats directly to your retail partners.
-
How does the system handle new international compliance requirements and specialized classification mapping?
Eloquence on Demand is a highly configurable platform that offers superior partner configuration capabilities, including custom metadata selections and partner-specific distributions based on the formats and sales rights each partner accepts. Furthermore, the Firebrand team actively participates in standards committees like EDItEUR (who manages the ONIX standard) and the Book Industry Study Group (BISG) to ensure our systems continuously adapt to new global requirements and metadata tags. This includes supporting international metadata requirements around Thema, EAA, and EUDR.
-
How can we bulk update book prices or sync author bios across dozens of different retail platforms at once?
Manually logging into multiple retailer portals or creating separate spreadsheets for each partner is a massive drain on your resources. Eloquence on Demand allows you to track multiple price types in multiple currencies, alongside robust author and contributor information, in one centralized location. Any updates you make are automatically processed and distributed via hourly, daily, or weekly feeds to an unlimited number of trading partners, ensuring your prices and bios are perfectly synced worldwide.
-
What is the most efficient way to manage and automate metadata distribution for a massive backlist?
Managing a large backlist requires automation to eliminate duplicate data entry and obsolete, disconnected spreadsheets. Eloquence on Demand completely automates your distribution, utilizing an intelligent outbox to automatically re-send updated metadata and asset changes to the appropriate partners whenever your team makes metadata changes.
-
How can our publishing team track metadata changes and maintain version history?
Operating from a single database ensures accountability and visibility for your entire team. The system provides a comprehensive Title History, which serves as an audit trail to track changes made to your title information at any time. Furthermore, Eloquence on Demand provides a detailed distribution history and full audit of file transfers, so your leadership team always knows exactly what data and cover images were sent to which partner.
