Book Category Search

Paste a book's ASIN, ISBN-13, or Amazon product link to see every category it is listed in — the full path from Books down to the most specific subcategory, with a bestseller-list link for each. Each category also shows how many products compete in it and an opportunity score (higher = less competition); the highlighted Best Category is the least-competitive targetable listing when scores are available, usually your primary shelf for ranking and ad targeting. Results export as CSV so you can compare several books side by side.

Competitor Lens

Paste a book's ASIN to pull every title Amazon recommends alongside it — up to about 10,000 books — grouped by theme. That list is a practical map of your competitive set: who shares your shelf and what angles they use. A run typically takes 30–60 seconds, and the full ASIN list exports as CSV.

The competitor analysis guide explains how to read themed groups and put the results to work.

Keyword Search

Paste a book's ASIN, ISBN-13, or Amazon product link to see the ad keywords Amazon recommends for it — ranked by how dominant each search term is, with the suggested bid and bid range for every match type. Results export as CSV so you can compare several books side by side.

Category Explorer

Browse Amazon’s full book category tree — no ASIN needed. Expand a category to see its subcategories, how many products compete in each node, and whether it is targetable in Sponsored Products ads. Every node links to its bestseller list, so you can pick a shelf before your book is even listed.

Keyword Forge

Build a starter list of Amazon Sponsored Products keywords from your book’s title, author name, and genre or theme words. Everything runs in your browser — no ASIN or Amazon call needed, so it works for books that aren’t listed yet. The CSV exports in SP bulk-upload shape (Keyword,MatchType,Bid_Cents); fill in your bids before uploading.
