90-Day Rank Climb Roadmap: Your Personal Action Plan
On this page
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
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
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
Review Threshold Predictor
So the roadmap knows your exact review targets and can set review milestones as measurable tasks rather than vague goals.
-
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.
The tool page shows these 4 tools as a checklist with status indicators. You can still generate without them — the roadmap uses whatever data is available — but the tasks will be more generic.
How to Generate
-
1
Go to the 90-Day Roadmap tool page
-
2
Enter your book's ASIN
-
3
Select your ranking goal: Top 100, Top 10, Top 5, or #1 in your category
-
4
Optionally enter a category — or leave blank and PublishRank will pull your category from your existing analyses
-
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.
