Why Papers Get Buried The Fix Service Free Guide Submit Your Paper
Pre-Publication SEO for Scientific Papers

Optimize your paper before you publish.
Not after it's buried.

We take your completed manuscript and optimize everything that determines whether it gets found: title, abstract, readability, keyword integration, metadata, and AI search readiness — before you submit.

You spent years on the research.
You spent zero minutes on its discoverability.
Most papers are written for reviewers, not search engines. Ahrefs found that 96.55% of all web pages receive zero traffic from Google. Academic papers are no exception.

Titles are written for reviewers

Academic titles are optimised for journal editors, not for the search terms researchers actually type into Google and Google Scholar.

AI search engines can't find you

ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini use different signals to select which papers to cite. Most manuscripts aren't structured for AI retrieval.

Complex writing reduces reach

Dense, jargon-heavy prose limits your audience to narrow specialists. Papers with clearer writing get read more, shared more, and cited more — and search engines favour readable text.

Send us your draft. We optimise it for search.
You've finished writing. Before you submit to the journal, we make sure the paper is discoverable from the moment it's published.
1

Send your manuscript

Share your completed draft and tell us which journal you're targeting. We work with the paper as written.

2

Full-text analysis

We assess your manuscript's readability, writing complexity, keyword density, and search optimisation across the entire text — not just the title and abstract.

3

Optimisation report

You receive rewritten title and abstract options, keyword integration suggestions, readability improvements, figure caption rewrites, and a lay summary draft — all scientifically accurate.

4

AI & metadata readiness

Structured abstract guidance, metadata recommendations, preprint strategy, and AI search optimisation so your paper is discoverable across Google, Google Scholar, and AI platforms from day one.

The new discovery channel most researchers are ignoring
Perplexity, ChatGPT, and Gemini are increasingly how researchers and clinicians discover literature. Google's AI Overviews alone have reduced organic clicks by 58% (Ahrefs, 2026). Optimising for AI retrieval is no longer optional.

Will an AI cite your paper when asked about your field?

We test your manuscript's topic against real queries on ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. We then optimise your title, abstract, lay summary, and full-text structure to match the patterns AI systems prefer to cite.

This is part of every optimisation we deliver — not an add-on.

The data behind paper discoverability
140,000

Papers analysed, one finding

Across 140,000 Scopus-indexed papers, journals publishing articles with shorter titles received significantly more citations per paper. Letchford et al., Royal Society Open Science, 2015

2× cited

Results in the title, results in citations

Papers with short, results-describing titles were cited more than twice as often as those with long, methods-describing titles. Paiva et al., Clinics, 2012

Title > text

How Google Scholar actually ranks

Citation count is the strongest ranking factor on Google Scholar, and keywords in the title are weighted far more heavily than keywords in the body text. Beel & Gipp, IEEE RCIS, 2009

Your unpublished work stays protected
We understand what it means to share a manuscript before publication. Every aspect of our process is designed to protect your work.

Encrypted transfer & storage

Manuscripts are shared via encrypted file transfer only — never plain email. Files are stored in access-controlled, encrypted storage during the project.

Deleted after delivery

All copies of your manuscript are permanently deleted within 30 days of delivering your optimisation report. We retain nothing.

NDA available

We provide a mutual NDA on request before you share anything. Standard practice for us — no need to ask twice.

No AI training. No third-party sharing. Your manuscript is never used to train AI models, fed into third-party tools that retain data, or shared with anyone outside the project. If we use AI-assisted tools in our analysis, we disclose which ones and confirm your data is not stored or retained by them. Read our full terms and privacy policy.

Common questions
At what stage should I send my paper?
Send it once the manuscript is complete and ready for submission. We work best at the final draft stage — after peer review within your group but before journal submission. This gives you time to incorporate our suggestions into the version you submit.
Will you change the science in my paper?
No. We optimise discoverability and readability, not scientific content. Every suggestion we make — from title rewrites to readability improvements — preserves the accuracy and meaning of your work. You decide which recommendations to adopt.
How is this different from editing or proofreading services?
Editing services fix grammar and style. We optimise for discovery. Our work covers how search engines and AI platforms index your paper, which keywords appear where, how readable your writing is for broader audiences, whether your figure captions are indexable, and whether your metadata is structured for maximum reach. There is some overlap in readability, but our focus is search performance, not language polishing.
What readability metrics do you use?
We use Flesch-Kincaid and Gunning Fog scores alongside our own assessment of sentence complexity, passive voice density, and jargon usage. We benchmark your manuscript against successfully cited papers in your subfield and provide specific, paragraph-level suggestions for improvement.
Do you recommend where to post a preprint?
Yes. We advise on whether posting to bioRxiv, medRxiv, or another preprint server would benefit your paper's early indexing and discoverability, based on your field and target journal's preprint policy.
Which fields do you cover?
We currently work with researchers in biological sciences and medicine. Our keyword analysis tools and domain knowledge are calibrated for these fields. We plan to expand coverage as we grow.
Can this actually increase my paper's citations?
Directly, yes. Papers that rank higher on Google Scholar and appear in AI search results get read more, which leads to more citations. Research shows that journals publishing papers with shorter titles receive more citations per paper (Letchford et al., 2015), and that citation count and title keyword placement are the strongest ranking signals on Google Scholar (Beel & Gipp, 2009). We optimize every factor within your control.
I'm based in the US — can I use this service?
Absolutely. Most of our clients are at US and European research institutions. We accept payment by card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex), bank transfer, and purchase order for labs that require institutional invoicing. Pricing is available in USD ($315) and GBP (£249).
What do I need to get started?
Your completed manuscript (any format) and the target journal. We handle everything from there and deliver within 7 business days.
Is my manuscript kept confidential?
Yes. Manuscripts are transferred via encrypted file sharing, stored in access-controlled encrypted storage during the project, and permanently deleted within 30 days of delivery. Your work is never used to train AI models or shared with third parties. We provide a mutual NDA on request. See our full confidentiality and privacy policy.
