Accurate metadata helps the right readers discover your book. We research comparable titles and suggest categories and keywords that truthfully describe your book. Discoverability depends on many factors, so we don't promise rankings.

What you gain

  • Accurate positioning

    Categories that reflect your book's content.

  • Researched keywords

    Phrases readers use to describe books like yours.

  • Documented choices

    A summary you can reuse on other platforms.

How it works

  1. 1

    About your book

    You tell us about the book, its readers and comparable titles.

  2. 2

    Research

    We research relevant categories and keyword phrases readers actually search for.

  3. 3

    Recommendations

    You receive recommended categories, keywords and notes on why we chose them.

Packages

Choose a package to request an invoice, or ask for a quote if your project is outside its scope. Every project starts with written confirmation of scope, timing and payment.

Prices are set in USD. Other currencies are estimates using the European Central Bank reference rate of 26 October 2026. The final amount and payment currency are confirmed on your invoice; showing a currency here doesn't mean payment can already be made in it.
