Your 5-step action plan
— work through these in orderCompetitor Benchmark
Your listing ranks middle-of-pack against the top NYC trivia books. Cover and review volume are competitive, but two rivals own the high-intent keywords ('NYC trivia gift', 'New York City facts book') in their subtitles — that's costing you discoverability more than anything else.
Only 2 of the top 8 buyer keywords appear in your subtitle or first 200 chars of description.
Clear gift angle, but the 'for trivia night hosts' use case competitors lead with is missing.
Strong colour contrast at thumbnail size; title hierarchy is weaker than the #1 cover.
The 4 competitors we benchmarked

Bold yellow taxi cover, huge title, instantly readable as a thumbnail.
NYC: 500 Surprising Facts About the City That Never Sleeps
Positioning
Targets trivia night hosts and teachers; mentions 'fun facts for kids and adults'.
Cover
Skyline silhouette, clear but generic — blends into the category.
Manhattan Trivia: From the Bronx to the Battery
Positioning
Local-history angle; aimed at lifelong New Yorkers rather than visitors.
Cover
Sepia photo cover, hard to read at thumbnail size.
I Love NYC: A Trivia & Quiz Book

Cover
Iconic 'I ❤ NY' lockup gives instant recognition.
Keywords you're missing

Long-tail variant that comparable books reflect in their listings, and your listing currently doesn't signal.

trivia night
Use-case keyword that broadens your audience beyond tourists.
What to copy
Lead the subtitle with the gift use case ('The perfect gift for…') instead of the page count.
From "The Big Book of New York City Trivia" — Captures the highest-intent buyer segment in the category.
Add a 'great for trivia nights' callout in the first description paragraph.
From "NYC: 500 Surprising Facts About the City That Never Sleeps" — Unlocks a second audience (hosts/teachers) without diluting the tourist angle.
Increase title size on the cover so it dominates at thumbnail size.
From "I Love NYC: A Trivia & Quiz Book" — Top covers in this category use ~50% of the cover area for the title.
What to avoid
- Sepia / muted photo covers — they disappear at thumbnail size in this category.
- Leading with 'ultimate' or 'amazing' — every competitor uses these, so they signal nothing.
