Bid babysitting eats your evenings

Log in every 2–3 days, tweak bids keyword by keyword, repeat forever. Time you could spend writing the next book.

Money bleeds invisibly

Ad spend can quietly overtake royalties in a single month while the dashboard still looks fine. Dead keywords are usually why.

The KENP mystery

Kindle Unlimited pays roughly $0.004 per page read — reported late and separately, so the breakeven number changes depending on when you check.

See it work

Like an employee who reports what they did — and why.

Every bid change, pause, and hold lands in a ledger with the reason attached. — ad spend divided by sales — stays visible on every decision. Nothing moves outside the guardrails you set.

The default pause rule

Pause a search term after 15+ clicks and $8+ spend with 0 orders and 0 page-read signal. Every threshold is yours to change — KenpIQ only ever acts inside the rules you set.

  2. Set guardrails once

    Budget ceiling, maximum bid change per step, and launch gates for new campaigns.

  3. Agent reviews every few days

    Lowers bleeding bids, pauses dead keywords, and computes KENP break-even from your real numbers.

  4. You read the ledger and approve

    Get a bulk-upload file to push back to Amazon in one click. Direct API integration comes in v2.

The frustrations we kept hearing

Why we're building this

These are the recurring struggles KDP authors describe about running Amazon ads — paraphrased, not attributed to anyone. If they sound familiar, KenpIQ is built for you.

“I've spent weeks tweaking bids and still can't tell if my ads are actually profitable.”

“I poured hundreds into ads and had no idea if any of it actually made money.”

“Every break-even calculation I try gives me a different number.”

Built in public by a solo developer who got tired of the guesswork.
