The Indie Book Diagnosis - Online Report
Find out exactly why your book isn't selling, and what to fix first.You published the book. The sales didn't follow.Maybe it never really launched. Maybe it had a good week and then went quiet. Maybe you have no idea whether the problem is your cover, your categories, your description, or something else entirely, and you've been guessing ever since.Most indie authors stay stuck here not because they're doing everything wrong, but because nobody has ever looked at their whole listing and told them honestly: here's what's working, here's what isn't, and here's where to start.That's what this does.What it isAn AI-powered diagnostic tool built on the same five-point framework used in Stacks Publishing's human-conducted Indie Book Diagnosis. You answer four screens of questions about your book, paste in your current description, categories and keywords, and within about 60 seconds you get a structured written report covering everything that determines whether your book sells on Amazon.No generic advice. No recycled tips. A specific assessment of your specific book, based on what you've actually provided.What the report covers Your description and title, assessed for hook strength, structure, keyword integration, and whether you're using the space Amazon actually gives you. Your current categories, with honest feedback on whether they're working and suggested alternatives based on your book's niche, setting, and audience. Your backend keywords are assessed against a three-part framework built from observation of hundreds of publishing outcomes: whether your targeted phrase boxes contain the specific 5-7 word search terms buyers actually type, whether you're using any boxes to anchor your book's category placement and prevent Amazon from filing it somewhere it will never be found. Your platform and marketing activity, scored and assessed for what's missing and what's highest leverage. Your cover, evaluated through a set of targeted questions since the tool cannot see an image directly. And a prioritised action plan, three to five specific things to do, in the order that will make the most difference.
