Guidebook with Novamag

A guidebook whose answers get found

Anyone looking for advice asks Google or an AI assistant. A digital guidebook answers those questions with chapters, fact sheets, images and videos that can each be found on their own. A non-fiction book or a brochure becomes a source of knowledge that brings in readers for years. Publishers, associations and brands use it to build reach and trust.

Answers that get foundEvery chapter and every fact sheet has its own URL on Google.

Knowledge made vividImages, videos and fact sheets instead of a wall of text.

Shareable piece by pieceSend a single chapter by link instead of the whole book.

Knowledge

Guidebook goes digital: what’s behind it

What is a digital guidebook?

A digital guidebook shares knowledge on a topic as a web publication. It is organised into chapters and subpages, holds images, videos and fact sheets, and reads well on any device. Search engines and AI assistants can find every single page.

Why guidebooks work better online

People look for answers to specific questions. A digital guidebook delivers those answers on single, well-structured pages and so gets found on Google and in AI search. Unlike a book, it can be added to and updated at any time.

How do I structure a guidebook?

With an introduction, clearly separated chapters on subtopics, recurring formats such as fact sheets or checklists, and an outlook. Every page should answer one concrete question and carry a heading that says what it covers.

How do I create a guidebook with Novamag?

Upload the manuscript, images and graphics to Nova AI and describe the topic. Nova AI builds chapters and subpages in the design you want. The editorial team adds videos and publishes.
