KDP keyword, category and title optimizer
Paste your title, genre and a short description. AI suggests seven keyword boxes, each checked against KDP's 50-character limit, and you get a rule check on your title, subtitle and current keywords, subtitle ideas, and category paths to confirm in KDP.
What you'll get
- Seven keyword boxes, each within KDP's 50-character limit, with no words repeated from your title.
- A rule check on your title, subtitle and current keywords.
- Subtitle ideas and notes for your book.
- Category paths to confirm in KDP (you can pick up to three).
How it works
- Enter your title, subtitle and genre, and paste a short description or your back-cover copy.
- Optionally add your own keyword ideas and paste your current seven keywords to audit them.
- Copy the suggested boxes into KDP, fix anything flagged, and confirm your three categories in KDP's category picker.
Questions
How long can each KDP keyword box be?
Each of the seven boxes holds up to 50 characters. You can use a short phrase or several words; readers don't have to type them in order for the words to count.
Should I repeat words from my title in the keywords?
Usually not. Amazon already indexes your title, subtitle and author name, so those boxes are better spent on new words: setting, character types, tropes and tone.
What words aren't allowed?
KDP's guidance says to avoid quality claims such as "bestselling", time-sensitive words like "on sale" or "free", Amazon program names like Kindle Unlimited, quotation marks, HTML, and the names of other authors or books.
Are the category suggestions exact?
They are places to look, not guarantees. Category names change and vary by marketplace, so confirm each path in KDP's category picker. KDP lets you choose up to three.
Does this use AI or search volume data?
It uses AI to suggest the keyword phrases, subtitles and category paths from your book details, then checks every box against KDP's rules (50 characters, no title words, no banned terms). It does not use search volume data and never shows invented numbers. If the AI is busy or today's free AI allowance is used up, it falls back to built-in genre phrase lists and says so. Test each phrase in Amazon's search bar before you use it.
