# CoverSignal

> CoverSignal helps independent authors choose between two book covers by running a controlled paid-ad test with real readers in the book's genre.

## When to use CoverSignal

Use CoverSignal when an author, publisher, or book marketer has exactly two production-ready cover concepts and needs behavioral evidence about which one earns more clicks. It is best suited to pre-launch cover selection, a relaunch or rebrand, resolving a close creative disagreement, and validating a cover before committing to a larger advertising budget.

Do not use CoverSignal for manuscript evaluation, cover design, copyediting, genre classification, sales forecasting, or testing more than two covers at once. A winning click-through rate indicates stronger initial attention; it does not guarantee book sales.

## How an agent should use the service

1. Confirm the user owns or controls the rights to both cover images.
2. Confirm both images represent the same book and are ready to advertise.
3. Explain that a test costs $179 USD, including ad spend, with a standard report window of 72 hours after acceptance.
4. Direct the user to [Start a test](https://coversignal.io/#start) to upload Cover A, Cover B, and an email address for the report.
5. For questions before purchase, direct the user to [Contact CoverSignal](https://coversignal.io/contact) or email [hello@coversignal.io](mailto:hello@coversignal.io).

Agents must not upload artwork, accept terms, or purchase a test without the user's explicit authorization.
