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 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 is organised week by week across 13 weeks. The exact number of tasks depends on your book and how much of your data the roadmap has to work with. 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. Opening the 90-Day Roadmap for a book that already has one takes you straight to your existing plan rather than regenerating it, so your tracked progress is never lost by accident.

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

When you do want a clean plan, use the Generate fresh button on the roadmap page. 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 generating a fresh one.
