Build from reader intent
Translate the book's genre, conflict, tone, setting and audience into plausible search phrases.
KDP keyword research
Choose search phrases that fit the book readers will actually receive.
Hatti develops keyword recommendations from the book's genre, reader promise, themes and likely search language. The aim is relevance and coherence—not a speculative list of high-volume phrases.

Who it is for
Authors who need a more deliberate metadata foundation.
This service is useful before publication, during a listing refresh, or when existing keyword choices are vague, repetitive or disconnected from the book's actual positioning.
Replace weak metadata
Identify phrases that are too broad, redundant or unsupported by the retail presentation.
Coordinate without duplication
Keep the series identity clear while allowing each title to represent its distinct hook.
What Hatti reviews
Keywords are considered as part of the whole listing.
Amazon KDP currently provides up to seven keyword fields. Hatti uses those fields carefully, while recognizing that Amazon controls indexing and search presentation.

- Reader age and tone where relevant
- Central conflict, setting and themes
- Comparable reader language supplied by the author
Retail coherence
- Title and subtitle presentation
- Description and hook language
- Current categories and keyword choices
- Cover/listing consistency risks

- Prioritized keyword recommendations
- Plain-language rationale
- Terms to avoid or reconsider
- Implementation notes for the author's own KDP account
Scope
Keyword research is included in the Amazon Book Listing Audit. A keyword-only scope can be quoted after Hatti reviews the title and existing metadata.
Timing and revisions
For keyword-only work, Hatti confirms the price, delivery timing and included clarification or revision allowance in writing before research begins. Material changes to the book’s positioning, edition, source material or target reader after work starts are treated as a new scope and are approved before additional work continues.
Process
From book evidence to usable entries.
The author remains responsible for reviewing and entering the final choices in KDP.
01
Share the book
Provide the listing or a concise brief, current metadata and the intended reader.
02
Map the promise
Hatti separates core genre language from book-specific hooks and modifiers.
03
Review the listing
Keyword ideas are checked against the cover, description and categories.
04
Receive recommendations
You receive prioritized phrases and implementation notes. Hatti does not require account access.
Boundaries
What keyword research cannot promise.
Search visibility changes with reader behavior, competition and Amazon's systems. Hatti does not guarantee indexing, search position, sales, reviews or advertising performance.
