You published on KDP. You waited. Nothing happened. That's not because your book isn't good — it's because Amazon's algorithm only promotes books that already have momentum. The right keywords, the right categories, an optimized listing. Without those, you're invisible.
KDP gives you 10 category slots — most authors waste 8 of them. AuthorClimb scores every Amazon category against your book and surfaces the ones where you can realistically rank #1, not just the ones that sound right.
5,200+ categories · AI-scored relevance · free on every plan

Most authors write their product description once and never touch it again. AuthorClimb analyzes yours against the top-ranking competitors for your keywords and shows you exactly what to fix — with smart rewrite suggestions to save you time.

We mapped about 400 Kindle fiction categories and compared what the #50 book sells with how many new English books arrived in 90 days. Three genres looked open, two that keep getting called underserved were crowded, and one had great numbers held by a single author.
Amazon has not published any AI detection for KDP books. What it does ask, why detectors misfire, what we found running the same texts through four of them, what AI watermarks can and cannot show, and how authors have actually been caught.
Amazon's AI question turns on who created the content, not which app you opened. Five common workflows (editing AI text, AI editing your text, brainstorming, AI covers and AI translation) checked against KDP's own definitions.
