Metadata Mastery: 7-Step KDP Metadata Playbook to Unlock Amazon Discoverability

Authors often pour hours into writing and covers but leave discoverability to chance. This episode gives a compact, 7-step metadata playbook you can implement during your next upload or relaunch. You’ll get a clear rationale for each metadata element, specific wording formulas for titles and subtitles, a methodical approach to pick backend keywords and categories that actually drive impressions, and small pricing and KU tweaks that influence Amazon’s algorithms. I walk through a real example (fiction and nonfiction variant), explain immediate copy swaps that convert, and finish with a single action step you can do in 15 minutes. Perfect for authors who want measurable gains from changes that don’t require new content or ad spend.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-22-lions-podcast-ai-self-publishing-book-empire-secrets--7016918/support.
