This tool reads your manuscript and outputs KDP compliant keyword boxes and accurate category picks for Kindle and Paperback so readers can find your book faster. Turn your manuscript into copy ready KDP keywords and accurate Amazon categories.

From Manuscript to KDP Keywords and Categories in One Click

Most authors guess at keywords and categories. Guessing costs visibility and confuses the algorithm. The Amazon Keyword & Category Planner reads your manuscript and maps what is on the page to how readers search on Amazon. It returns seven focused keyword boxes and clear category picks for Kindle and Paperback. You get a simple plan you can paste into KDP in minutes.

When you upload your manuscript or paste a long excerpt, the tool generates:

• Seven KDP keyword boxes with character counts and one line reasons
• Top category recommendations for Kindle and Paperback with quick explanations
• A compliance check that flags risky terms and offers safe rewrites
• Three micro edits for your product description to reinforce the target phrases

You will walk away with a paste ready set of keywords and categories that fit your book and match reader intent.

Why It Works
