Science Fiction Keywords for KDP Authors

You need the right science fiction keywords for KDP readers to find your book!

 

Keyword selection in your KDP setup plays a crucial role in helping readers discover your book on Amazon's vast marketplace. When you choose your seven keyword slots wisely, you create multiple pathways for potential readers to find your work through organic search. The key is to think beyond single words and instead use specific, relevant phrases that readers actually type into Amazon's search bar. For instance, rather than just using "science fiction," you might select "post apocalyptic survival series" or "first contact alien invasion thriller." These longer, more targeted keyword phrases not only help your book appear in more specific searches but also typically face less competition than broader terms. Additionally, Amazon's algorithm looks at how well your book converts for specific search terms, so choosing keywords that accurately reflect your book's content helps ensure that when readers find your book, they're more likely to purchase it, which in turn improves your visibility for those search terms over time. Don't forget to use all available space!

The feedback is instructive.  I am glad we went back to repeat readers as they are confirming there were improvements in the areas I and my editor targeted. - M. T.

 

Wow! That was fast! ;) Loved the feedback and critiques… I was just picturing some comments in a Word file, so you guys went above and beyond with in-depth reporting! I’ve sung your praises over at Goodreads, so hopefully someone will get the hind and some business will come your way soon. :) Thanks again so much! These stories will be better because of you, and I’ll be sure to contact you again next October when I publish them so you can all get your complimentary eBooks. (The perks of being self-published…) - Jack

 

 

I will use all these comments to improve my story. I will definitely use your services again. - Georges E.

 

What a wonderful and necessary service you provide - this is exactly the kind of feedback I was hoping for. If it is possible, could you please thank the beta readers for me, and especially pass along my thanks to the second reader (EML36) for the thorough comments and insights?  Combining the viewpoints and thoughts of the three, I now have some indication of what worked and what will need revision. I hope to make use of your company again sometime soon. All the best. - David A.
