Metadata Optimization

The details that affect discoverability.

Metadata — a book's title, subtitle, description, keywords, and categories — directly affects whether the right readers find it on a retail platform. Weak or mismatched metadata can leave a good book effectively invisible, regardless of quality.

Authors need this when publishing a new title, or when an existing book isn't performing and the listing details may be part of the reason.

What Phoenix can help with

• Keyword research

  Identifying relevant keywords readers use to search for books like yours.

• Category selection

  Choosing categories that improve visibility and match your book's genre.

• Description optimization

  Writing or refining a book description for clarity and discoverability.

• Title and subtitle review

  Assessing whether your title and subtitle support search and browsing.

Useful if you're

• An author publishing a new book
• A writer whose existing book isn't getting much visibility
• An author unsure which categories or keywords apply
• A writer refreshing an older listing
