Amazon Metadata Mastery: 5 Steps to Build Discoverable, Scalable Book Metadata

Authors often pour effort into writing and covers, then treat metadata like an afterthought — and watch visibility evaporate. This episode teaches a practical, five-step metadata architecture you can apply today to make your book findable and clickable across Amazon and reseller channels. I’ll explain the logic behind titles, subtitles, keyword banking, category selection, series metadata, and product description structure; walk through a real author example showing before/after traffic and conversion shifts; and give a simple audit checklist you can run in 15 minutes. No hacks, no hype — just repeatable, relevance-first methods that respect Amazon’s rules and reader intent. If you want your KDP listings to scale with paid ads and organic algorithms, this episode gives the exact steps to get your metadata working like a marketing asset.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-22-lions-podcast-ai-self-publishing-book-empire-secrets--7016918/support.
