Has anyone encountered a problem where they are unable to find their book based on the keywords they defined for the book?

Hey

I published my first book on 06.12.24 and Amazon approved the book after a few days

After a month, I checked the reports and saw that not a single person came to view the book I uploaded.
I wanted to check which page out of the total my book is located on by searching for the keywords I defined for the book.
It turns out that I can't see the book at all by the keywords on any pagekey#k when the total search results by the keywords are a little less than 400 and there are a total of 7 pages, so it wasn't that hard to check the issue

Do you have any idea why the book is not found by the search terms? Even though I chose to use keywords with low competition that have a low number of search results (a few hundred)

I would appreciate your help

With regards
Oz

Just because you use a keyword does not mean that Amazon will automatically rank you for that keyword. I guess there a few factors. 1) Amazon algorithm has to understand that that keyword is a good match for your book 2) Then it has to feel that it is a good match for the keyword for customers to have a good buying exerience. Sometimes it can take longer to rank for some search term but sometimes it can happen that you never rank for that. Doing Amazon ads can help especially if your keyword campaign is converting well for that exact same keyword. That could potentially signal to Amazon good relevance. If you keyword stuffed your title or backend keywords it could also simply be a factor of Amazon being confused and not knowing where to rank your book.
