How it works

The flow should be simple enough to use quickly and structured enough to produce a useful publishing decision.

Step 1

Start with topic or genre

Enter a reader-facing book concept, not just an internal manuscript description, so the query set stays commercially relevant.

Step 2

Pull keyword candidates

Generate phrases readers actually search for on Amazon instead of guessing at metadata from instinct alone.

Step 3

Sort by signal strength

Compare volume and competition so you can prioritise phrases that are useful, not just popular.

Step 4

Build the final slots

Refine, copy, and assemble the best candidates into the seven KDP keyword slots you can actually use.

FAQ

Keyword research questions before you fill the seven slots

Next step

If the keyword pattern is clear, the next step is tightening the whole Amazon listing.

Good keywords work best when the title, subtitle, categories, description, and cover positioning support the same promise.
