What the category research covers

  • Amazon categories with rank

    The rank of the books at no. 1 and 2 in each category. A low number means many sales a day; a high number means the bestseller badge takes fewer sales.

  • 8 Amazon stores

    For the store you sell in, from amazon.com to amazon.de.

  • THEMA, BISAC and trade groups

    The classification bookshops, VLB and distributors use, plus CLIL and IBIC for trade abroad.

  • Text and CSV

    To copy into KDP and VLB, and as CSV for Excel.

Why the right category makes such a difference

The tool reads your description, suggests Amazon categories that fit and reads the rank of no. 1 and 2. So you see where the bestseller badge takes few sales. THEMA, BISAC and trade groups for VLB and the book trade are included.

Amazon gives the bestseller badge per category. In a strong category no. 1 takes many sales every day, in a weak one few. With the rank of the top two books you see the difference before you choose. Book trade and online shops also classify by THEMA, BISAC and trade groups.

Questions about Categories

All questions

Are these the Amazon categories too?

Yes. You get Amazon categories for the store you choose, each with the current rank of no. 1 and 2 and a link to the bestseller list. THEMA, BISAC and trade groups for VLB and the book trade are included.

Am I sure to get the bestseller badge?

No. You see where the bar is low. Your book still has to sell, and ranks change every day.

Where do I enter them?

You choose Amazon categories in KDP when you set up your title. THEMA or BISAC go into VLB or the metadata of your distributor.
