Consonance - Loci Integration and Automation

Common Integration Use Cases Between Consonance and Loci

Consonance manages publishing workflows, title metadata, rights, and multi-format delivery, while Loci uses content and behavior signals to generate intelligent recommendations that improve engagement. Together, they can connect publishing operations with personalized content discovery across digital channels.

• Personalized title recommendations on publisher websites and reader portals

  Data flow: Consonance to Loci, then Loci to CMS or digital storefront

  Consonance can send approved title metadata, genre, subject categories, series information, author details, format availability, and publication dates to Loci. Loci then uses this structured content data alongside user behavior to recommend related books, backlist titles, series continuations, and format alternatives such as ebook or audiobook. This improves conversion rates on publisher websites, direct-to-consumer stores, and author pages.

• Behavior-driven promotion of backlist and underperforming titles

  Data flow: Loci to Consonance, then Consonance to marketing or analytics teams

  Loci can identify which titles, authors, or themes are gaining traction based on reader engagement patterns. That insight can be fed back into Consonance to help publishing and marketing teams prioritize promotional campaigns, reprint decisions, or metadata enhancements for backlist titles. This supports better use of catalog assets and helps teams focus on titles with rising demand.

• Metadata enrichment for recommendation quality

  Data flow: Consonance to Loci, bi-directional with analytics feedback

  Consonance holds authoritative title metadata, including BISAC categories, keywords, audience segments, format, rights status, and series relationships. Integrating this data with Loci improves recommendation relevance by giving the AI richer content context. In return, Loci can provide performance feedback on which metadata attributes drive clicks and conversions, helping editorial and metadata teams refine future title records.

• Audience segmentation for targeted content discovery

  Data flow: Loci to Consonance or connected CRM and campaign tools

  Loci can segment readers based on browsing and consumption behavior, such as mystery readers, audiobook-first users, or series binge readers. Those segments can be used by publishing and marketing teams to tailor title promotion plans, newsletter content, and launch campaigns. Consonance can supply the latest title availability and release schedule so campaigns always reflect current publishing priorities.

• Launch support for new titles and preorders

  Data flow: Consonance to Loci

  When a title moves through Consonance into prepublication or launch status, the platform can pass release metadata, cover art links, synopsis, and comparable titles to Loci. Loci can then surface the new title to likely interested readers across supported channels. This helps publishers build early awareness, improve preorder performance, and increase first-week engagement for new releases.

• Cross-format recommendation logic for print, ebook, and audio

  Data flow: Consonance to Loci, then Loci to storefront or CMS

  Consonance tracks which formats are available for each title and when they are released. Loci can use that information to recommend the most relevant format based on user behavior, such as suggesting the audiobook version to mobile listeners or the ebook version to digital-first readers. This increases format conversion and helps publishers maximize revenue across channels.

• Editorial and marketing performance reporting

  Data flow: Bi-directional

  Consonance can provide title lifecycle data, publication milestones, and campaign timing, while Loci contributes engagement metrics such as recommendation clicks, dwell time, and downstream conversions. Combined reporting gives editorial, production, and marketing teams a clearer view of how content decisions affect reader engagement. This supports better planning for future acquisitions, metadata strategy, and launch execution.

These integrations are most valuable when Consonance remains the system of record for publishing metadata and workflow status, while Loci acts as the personalization engine that turns that content data into reader-facing recommendations and actionable engagement insights.
