Amazon Page Optimizer: Help shoppers say yes to your book.
Watching views come in with no sales to show for them is a lonely feeling. You wonder if it is the blurb, the cover, the title, or something you cannot even see. Now you can see your page the way a stranger does, change it with confidence, and get back to writing.
Included with membership at $10/month or more.

What changes for you
Your page, ready for strangers.
Few things sting like views with no sales. Titles grow cluttered, blurbs ramble, and categories drift off target without anyone noticing. Here is what gets lighter.
The silence stops feeling personal
When strangers visit and leave, it is easy to blame your writing. You see which parts of your page draw readers in and which parts quietly push them away, so the problem becomes something you can fix and your best lines stay put.
Strangers get your book at a glance
A shopper decides in seconds, and you want those seconds to say what kind of book this is and why it is for them. Improve your book description so it hooks skimmers, not just patient readers. For a long list of new titles, subtitles, and series names, use Book Title Optimizer.
The blank page stops staring back
Rewriting your description from scratch is a heavy lift. You never have to face an empty page, because you start from a full draft and keep the lines you love. Treat it as a draft to test, not a final answer.
The right readers find you
Nothing feels worse than a book the right readers never meet. Refine categories and keywords so the right readers can actually find your book. For keywords chosen from your manuscript, use Amazon Keyword & Category Planner.
Your cover gets a stranger's first look
Your cover is the first thing a stranger sees, so it is nerve-racking to wonder how it lands. Add a screenshot of your page and you finally find out. For a deeper cover critique, use Book Cover Analyzer.
When it matters
The moments your Amazon page matters most.
Pick the moment that sounds like yours.
The week before launch
Launch week is loud, and every detail feels like it matters. Audit a new Amazon page before launch so you start strong instead of guessing. You walk in having seen your page the way a stranger will, with time left to change it.
When an old book goes quiet
A quiet backlist book still deserves a fair shot. Refresh a stalled backlist title that gets views but not enough sales. You get a place to start, so you can change one thing at a time and see what moves.
Before you pay for ads
Every ad sends a stranger to your page, and the page has to do the selling. You can spend with more peace of mind once it is ready to greet them. No review can predict how an ad will perform.
After a new cover or edition
A fresh cover or edition feels like a fresh start, and you want your page to match it. Come back for another look before you start promoting it.
Bring your Amazon page link.
You bring
The Amazon link for the book you want reviewed. If Amazon blocks the scan, or you want your cover reviewed too, add a full-page screenshot of your page as a .png, .jpg, or .pdf file.
Author Media does not store, track, or view what you post to this tool, including any screenshot. The AI services use business APIs with privacy set to the maximum.
You get
A ranked list of fixes with the reason behind each one, a replacement description to test, and keyword ideas for your page.
It reviews only the page you give it, one book at a time. It cannot see your sales, rankings, traffic, or ad results, and it does not use private Amazon data. Your reviews, categories, and cover show up in the advice only when your link or screenshot shows them. It cannot edit your page, so you copy over the changes you want.
Before you scan your Amazon page
Why is my book getting views but not selling on Amazon?+
That gap is discouraging, and a stranger's first few seconds on your page are a common place to look. A weak first impression can lose a shopper before your story gets a chance. You see your page the way a stranger does and know where to start. No tool can see your traffic, so you get likely causes and not proven ones. If the page looks sound, the cause may be outside it, such as who your ads reach.
What is Amazon Page Optimizer?+
Amazon Page Optimizer is an AI tool from Thomas Umstattd Jr. for authors who want their Amazon book page to win over the strangers who find it. The section above shows what goes in and what comes out.
What do I need to give it?+
Not much, and you do not need your manuscript. Give it the Amazon link for one book. If Amazon blocks the scan, add a full-page screenshot as a .png, .jpg, or .pdf file. Scan each book separately.
What if Amazon blocks the scan?+
A blocked scan can feel like a dead end, and it is not. Amazon sometimes keeps automated readers out, even when your page opens fine in your browser. Add a full-page screenshot of your page, or try again in a minute.
Can it review my cover?+
Your cover is the first thing a stranger sees, so it is a fair question. Yes, from a screenshot, since a link does not carry your cover. You find out whether it is helping or hurting your page. For a deeper critique and redesign plan, use Book Cover Analyzer.
Will these changes increase my sales?+
Wanting proof before you change your page is smart. No tool can promise that. You see why each change should help, and the replacement description is a draft to test. Change one thing at a time and watch your sales before you change the next.
Does it change my Amazon page for me?+
No, and your page stays yours. It has no access to your KDP account or Author Central, so you copy the changes you want into your KDP dashboard or Author Central yourself.
Which tool should I use for keywords and categories?+
Conflicting advice is frustrating, so here is the split. Use Amazon Keyword & Category Planner when you want keywords and categories chosen from what is actually in your book. Use Amazon Page Optimizer for a second opinion on the ones already on your page. The two may suggest different phrases. When they disagree, use your best judgment or test both and keep what performs.
Who should use it?+
If you care how your book looks on Amazon, this is for you. It is for fiction and nonfiction authors who control an Amazon book page, which usually means indie authors. Traditionally published authors can use it too, but a publisher often controls the description, categories, and cover. In that case, you bring your publisher a clear list of changes to ask for.
Can I use it before my book is published?+
Wanting your page right before launch is a good instinct. It needs an Amazon page or a screenshot of one, so a book with no page yet has nothing to review. Once your page is live, take a look before launch day while changes are easy to make. If you only have a draft description, Pitch Optimizer can rewrite it first.
Is my work private?+
Yes. Author Media does not store, track, or view anything you post to this tool. The tools reach each AI through its business API with privacy set to the maximum, so the AI companies do not train on your words.
How much does it cost?+
