KDP Keywords Guide: Filling All 7 Backend Slots the Right Way

6/5/2026 · 6 min read

Your keywords decide where your book appears in Amazon search. The goal is to catch the exact phrases readers actually type — not the ones authors imagine.

Target buyer intent

Don't use 'good book'. Use specific, intent-carrying phrases like 'small town detective mystery' or 'enemies to lovers fantasy romance'.

Avoid repetition

Don't repeat words already in your title or categories — Amazon indexes those already. Use the 7 slots to open new ground.

Respect the rules

  • Each slot: max 50 characters, no quotation marks.
  • No competitor author names or book titles.
  • No 'bestseller', 'free' or other misleading claims.
  • Combine related words in one slot instead of wasting several.

Generate them automatically

BlurbForge produces 7 optimized keyword sets from your synopsis in seconds — each one within Amazon's limits, with live character counters.
