The 8 signs your book has a discovery problem,
not a quality problem
If even 2–3 of these feel familiar, your book almost certainly has a positioning gap that's blocking readers from finding it.
"My reviews are great but nobody's finding the book"
You have a 4.0+ rating. Readers who find it love it. But your BSR is stuck past #500,000 and organic discovery has completely stalled.
"I launched and it just... disappeared"
You did the launch posts, told your friends, maybe ran a small promo. There was a brief spike, then nothing.
"I don't know who my readers are"
You wrote the book, but you can't describe your ideal reader with precision. Without that map, marketing is just guessing.
"I think I'm in the wrong categories"
Amazon has 16,000+ categories. Being in the wrong 3 means your book is invisible to readers who would love it.
"Readers love Book 1 but never buy Book 2"
Your series has a read-through leak. The cause is almost always a back-matter funnel gap.
"I have a backlist that's just sitting there"
You published 2, 3, or 5+ books. The early ones have stopped selling entirely but still have value.
"Marketing feels overwhelming"
Nobody told you which tactics actually matter for YOUR book in YOUR genre. You need a filter, not more noise.
"I'm spending money but can't tell if it's working"
You have no framework to evaluate what moved the needle. You need a data baseline, not more tactics.
I'll look at your book's actual signals and tell you exactly what I see. No cost, no obligation.
What I look at when I analyze your book
Before I make a single recommendation, I examine these real, observable data signals.
Six steps from invisible to discoverable
Every engagement follows this sequence. Clear, documented, no surprises.
You share your book
Send me your title, genre, and Amazon link. That's all I need to start.
I analyze the signals
BSR trajectory, category placement, keyword alignment, review patterns, and more.
I identify the gaps
Exactly 3 specific, data-backed discovery gaps. Not vague observations.
I build the strategy
For each gap, a corresponding market move with exact categories, keywords, and targets.
You implement with support
A written strategy document with prioritized action steps and email support.
We measure and adjust
After changes take effect, I review the data again. Strategy evolves based on results.
I find the gap between your book and its readers. Then I close it.
Most authors don't have a quality problem. They have a discovery problem. Their book sits in the wrong categories, targets keywords nobody searches, or ranks so low that no algorithm will ever surface it.
I started by noticing patterns. Why do some books with great reviews stay invisible while others gain momentum? The answer is almost never writing quality. It's positioning, metadata, and category alignment.
Today I combine deep market analysis with reader community intelligence to build clear, actionable plans that connect the dots.
