Metadata and discoverability

1. How to Choose KDP Categories and Keywords for Your Book
   To choose KDP keywords, study the search suggestions and titles of books like yours, then write phrases a reader would type. KDP lets you pick up to three categories, so choose ones where books like yours actually sit.
2. Book Title and Subtitle Length: KDP Rules and Tips
   KDP requires the title and subtitle together to be fewer than 200 characters. Keep the title short and memorable, and use the subtitle to say who the book is for and what they get. The metadata must match what appears on your cover.
3. How to Write a Book Description That Amazon Will Accept
   A KDP book description must not contain URLs, contact details, reviews, prices, promotions or spoilers. Open with a hook, say what the reader gets, name who the book is for, and keep the formatting simple.
4. Book Title Generator: How to Pick a Title That Sells
   A book title generator gives you raw ideas fast, but it cannot pick the winner. Use it to collect 20 to 50 options, then score each one for clarity, genre fit and memorability. Test your top three with real readers before you commit and publish.
