Self-Publishing Services

Book Listing Optimization

Most readers find new books by searching on platforms like Google, Amazon, Goodreads, and more. That means your book has to be discoverable to search algorithms, or readers will never even see your listing.

There are 2 main ways to do this:

1. Strategically choose which categories and keywords you use in your title’s metadata during publication setup on Kindle Direct Publishing or IngramSpark.
2. Incorporate long-tail keywords into your book’s description. This means adding popular search terms into your blurb like genre and sub-genre, tropes, main character descriptors, and comparable titles.

Our team uses Publisher Rocket, a program that aggregates Amazon data to show what terms shoppers are actually using in their search.

The best time to complete this research is before you hit “publish.” But it’s never too late to update your book data – that’s one of the best things about self-publishing! Our team has helped multiple authors optimize their book listings to improve book sales and category rankings.

The cost for this service starts at $50.

Book Blurb

How can just a few paragraphs convince readers to buy your book? It’s hard enough to summarize your character, world, and plot in half a page, let alone craft it as an effective sales pitch.

Have you heard of “the curse of knowledge?” It’s a sales term that explains why the more you know, the harder it is describe a concept to someone with no knowledge.

Authors have a hard time condensing everything they love about their story into a short space. A lot of blurbs contain too much information, actually confusing readers and distracting from the only important question a blurb HAS to answer: “do I want to read this?”

Our team will craft a compelling blurb that introduces your setting, character, central conflict, and a hook that makes readers want to find out what happens.

If you also select our optimization service, we will incorporate top keywords from our research into your book’s description. It’s possible to have a great blurb that catches reader interest, but does not flag algorithms as well as it could. We want you to have both.

This service starts at $40.
