Amazon Keyword & Category Research

Your Book Deserves to Be Discovered. Not Buried.

The right readers are out there. But are your keywords and categories helping them find you?

At The Indie Author Hive, we combine in-depth Publisher Rocket research with years of proven publishing experience to uncover relevant keyword opportunities, analyse competition, and identify categories that suit your book.

Our research is backed by experience from a bestselling multi-genre author with multiple Amazon #1 bestsellers, multiple Hot New Releases, hundreds of thousands of book sales, and millions of Kindle Unlimited page reads.

No guesswork. No generic keyword lists. Just real research, real data, and experience you can put to work for your books.

Research My Keywords & Categories

  • Every package includes individual, in-depth research tailored to your book:

    • Extensive keyword research using Publisher Rocket.

    • Analysis of relevant search terms and competition.

    • Seven carefully selected keyword phrases for your Amazon KDP listing.

    • Research into suitable Amazon book categories.

    • Recommendations informed by your genre, themes, tropes, and target readership.

    • A personalised document outlining our findings and recommendations.

    This isn't an automated list. Every book is researched individually, with real market data and publishing experience informing our recommendations.

  • There's a difference between having access to publishing data and knowing what to do with it.

    Our research is carried out using Publisher Rocket and informed by years of real-world publishing experience from a bestselling multi-genre author.

    With multiple Amazon #1 bestsellers, Hot New Release placements across various categories, hundreds of thousands of sales, and millions of Kindle Unlimited page reads, we bring practical publishing knowledge to every project.

    We understand how important it is to position your book for the readers most likely to enjoy it, rather than simply choosing the most obvious keywords.

    Amazon's algorithms, search behaviour, and category options can change.

    What we provide is data-backed research, informed recommendations, and years of publishing experience to help you make more strategic decisions about your book's positioning.
