What we do
- We bring people to library websites and online resources. Using Google’s Ad Grants for Nonprofits program, we empower libraries to reach outside their existing patron base to bring in new people — people searching online with Google. We are certified by Google as Ad Grant Professionals.
- We expose a library's online catalog to Google searches, a resource that would otherwise remain hidden.
- We provide analytics that can give library decision makers useful context and insight.
If your goal is to bring more people to your library website, Koios is the place to start. We currently work with over 40 libraries in the US and Canada; we have presented at ALA, Computers in Libraries, LMCC, and other conferences; you can read about us in Library Marketing Services, ALA Library Technology Reports, and Information Technology and Libraries.
“As a mission-driven organization, the EveryLibrary Institute needs to be constantly engaging the public about issues affecting libraries. We look to Koios for assistance in positioning our organization's image and messages for search and discovery. Koios has been our strategic advisor in shaping our messages and our tactical partner in using Google Ads to surface our content. We are seeing a significant amount of high-quality traffic to our sites because of Koios's expert guidance and account management.”
