Headline Analyzer
Score a title or headline out of 100 on eight checks that correlate with clicks, and see exactly what to fix.
60
9 words · 47 characters
- ✓Length 40 to 70 characters. Yours is 47. Long titles get cut off in search results and feeds.
- ✓6 to 12 words. Yours has 9. Short enough to scan, long enough to promise something.
- ✓Contains a number. Numbers set expectations ("7 mistakes", "in 30 seconds").
- ✗Uses a power word. Try words like proven, simple, mistake, why, how.
- ✗Carries emotion. One emotional word makes a title feel human.
- ✓Speaks to the reader (you/your). Direct address increases clicks.
- ✓Not all caps. ALL CAPS reads as shouting and looks spammy.
- ✗Asks or implies a question. Questions create an open loop the viewer wants closed.
The score is a checklist, not a prediction. A headline that scores 60 but fits your thumbnail perfectly will beat a 90 that doesn't. Use it to catch the obvious misses: too long, no promise, no reason to click.
