About Book Intel Report
EST. 2026 — INTELLIGENCE-GRADE METADATA ANALYSIS FOR SELF-PUBLISHED AUTHORS
OUR MISSION
Book Intel Report exists to give self-published authors the same competitive intelligence that traditional publishing houses spend thousands on. We analyze your book's metadata — title, subtitle, keywords, categories, description, and comparable titles — against Amazon's search algorithm and buyer behavior patterns to identify exactly where your listing is leaking sales.
Each report looks at your listing the way a KDP consultant would: keywords, categories, description, comps, and ads. You get ready-to-use copy you can paste into KDP, plus a plain-English note on what to change first.
THE TEAM
The Book Intel Report team
Book Intel Report is built by self-publishing strategists and metadata specialists with deep experience in the Amazon KDP ecosystem. Our team has personally tested every metadata strategy that Book Intel Report recommends across fiction and non-fiction categories.
Before launching Book Intel Report, we spent years studying Amazon's A9/A10 search algorithm, analyzing BSR patterns across 50+ categories, and reverse-engineering the metadata strategies of consistently bestselling indie authors. This research forms the foundation of our analysis engine.
Our methodology draws on insights from Publisher Rocket data analysis, category research across 12,000+ Amazon subcategories, and real-world A/B testing of book descriptions and keyword sets — grounded in what works for indie authors in practice.
OUR METHODOLOGY
Each Book Intel Report runs a multi-module pipeline that examines your listing from several angles:
- Keyword Intelligence — Amazon autocomplete keywords plus live Rainforest competitor data
- Category Strategy — optimal BISAC placement and bestseller rank pathway analysis
- Description Optimization — conversion-focused copywriting with A/B-tested frameworks
- Comparable Title Analysis — positioning against successful competitors in your niche
- Devil's Advocate Review — brutally honest assessment of what's holding your book back
- Ad Copy Generation — ready-to-paste copy for Google, Amazon, Facebook, and KDP ads
- Market Positioning — pricing strategy, launch timing, and audience targeting
Our analysis draws on data from Amazon's product advertising API, Publisher Rocket keyword databases, and proprietary BSR tracking across 50+ categories. Every recommendation is grounded in real market data — not generic advice.
