Building Your 90-Day Rank Climb Roadmap

What Makes This Different from Generic Advice

Most ranking guides give you a list of 10 things every author should do. The 90-Day Roadmap gives you a list of the 28 specific things you should do — in order, week by week — based on your actual book data.

If your biggest gap is review count, your roadmap front-loads review-building tasks. If your listing score is low, it front-loads listing optimisation. If you're missing specific keyword phrases, those phrases appear in your tasks. The roadmap isn't generated from a template — it's generated from your numbers.

Before You Generate: Run These 4 Tools First

The roadmap pulls from results you've already generated in other tools. For the most specific and actionable roadmap, run these four tools before clicking Generate:

1. 1

   Listing Optimizer

   So the roadmap knows your listing weaknesses and can include specific listing tasks (e.g. "add your primary keyword to your subtitle").

2. 2

   Keyword Gap Map

   So the roadmap can include specific keyword phrases to add to your listing — not "add more keywords" but "add these exact phrases."

3. 3

   Review Threshold Predictor

   So the roadmap knows your exact review targets and can set review milestones as measurable tasks rather than vague goals.

4. 4

   Competitiveness Score

   So the roadmap knows which of the 5 competitive dimensions to prioritise in your tasks. A Review weakness generates different tasks than a Listing weakness.

How to Generate

1. 1

   Go to the 90-Day Roadmap tool page

2. 2

   Enter your book's ASIN

3. 3

   Select your ranking goal: Top 100, Top 10, Top 5, or #1 in your category

4. 4

   Optionally enter a category — or leave blank and PublishRank will pull your category from your existing analyses

5. 5

   Click "Generate My 90-Day Roadmap"

Reading Your Roadmap

Your roadmap contains 28 tasks organised across 13 weeks. Each task is specific enough to act on immediately — not "improve your listing" but "add these 3 keyword phrases to your subtitle" or "send the Amazon Request-a-Review email to buyers from the last 30 days."

A progress bar at the top tracks your percentage complete. As you finish tasks, mark them done — the bar fills up and you can see at a glance where you are in the 90-day arc.

Your roadmap is saved. You can close the page and come back anytime — your progress and tasks will be exactly where you left them.

When to Regenerate

The roadmap is a point-in-time plan based on your data when it was generated. Regenerate when any of these are true:

• You've completed a major round of listing updates (run Listing Optimizer and Keyword Gap Map again first)
• Your review count has increased significantly — the review-related tasks may no longer be your biggest gap
• You've hit your original goal and are ready to set a new, higher target
• 90 days have passed and you're starting a new planning cycle

Each regeneration creates a fresh roadmap reflecting your current data. Previous roadmaps are not preserved — if you want to keep a record of a completed roadmap, use your browser to print or save it before regenerating.
