Amazon Discoverability
Most readers who search for books online search on Amazon. Small, accurate changes to how your book is listed can make it easier for the right readers to find it.
The problem this addresses
Books are often listed in broad or mismatched categories where they are buried among thousands of titles, or in categories that do not reflect their content.
Descriptions written for a cover flap rarely work well on a retail page, and keyword fields are frequently left incomplete.
Who it suits
- Self-published and independently published authors who control their own listing.
- Traditionally published authors who want clear, evidence-based recommendations to pass to their publisher.
What is included
- Audit of your current Amazon listing and author page
- Category research and recommendations
- Keyword research for search fields
- Description revision with formatting for the retail page
- Author page recommendations
What you receive
- A listing audit with specific recommended changes
- Researched category and keyword lists
- Revised description copy ready to paste into your account

Questions about amazon discoverability
Do you log into my Amazon account?
We prefer not to. We provide the recommendations and copy, and you or your publisher make the changes. This keeps control of your account with you.
Does this include Amazon advertising?
Advertising is not part of this service. If ads are discussed as part of a wider campaign, the ad spend is a separate cost that you approve in writing.
