What makes a good headline? ▸
Strong headlines combine emotional appeal, clarity, specificity, and SEO value. They promise a clear benefit, use power words sparingly, hit the 50-60 character sweet spot for SEO, and match search intent. Vague or clickbait headlines underperform in both rankings and click-through rate.
How is the score calculated? ▸
The analyzer weighs emotional impact, clarity, length appropriateness for the chosen platform, presence of power words and numbers, and SEO factors like keyword positioning. Each dimension scores separately, then a weighted average produces the overall 0-100 score.
What is the ideal headline length? ▸
For blog posts and SEO, 50-60 characters keeps the headline visible in Google search results. Email subject lines work best at 30-50 characters to render fully on mobile. Ad headlines depend on platform but generally shorter is better. The tool flags length issues per platform.
Do power words guarantee better headlines? ▸
No. Power words (free, proven, secret, ultimate) increase click-through when used sparingly and authentically, but stacking them triggers spam detection in both readers and ranking algorithms. One or two well-placed power words usually beat five.
Should I include numbers in headlines? ▸
Numbers, especially odd ones (7, 11, 23), tend to outperform headlines without numbers in click-through tests. They set clear expectations and signal scannable content. However, only use numbers when the content genuinely delivers that count — manufactured listicles read as filler.
How is this different from Coschedule or Sharethrough? ▸
Most legacy analyzers use static keyword lists. This tool sends your headline to an LLM that considers platform-specific norms, audience signals, and current copywriting heuristics, then rewrites it three ways. The score is one signal — the rewrites are usually the more useful output.
