How the Headline Analyzer Works
This tool evaluates your headline across multiple dimensions that research shows correlate with higher click-through rates and engagement.
Scoring Criteria
- Word count (6–12 words) — Headlines in this range perform best on search engines and social media
- Character length (55–65 chars) — Prevents truncation in Google search results and social previews
- Power words — Emotionally charged words like "ultimate," "proven," "essential" that drive clicks
- Emotional words — Words that evoke feelings: "amazing," "heartbreaking," "inspiring"
- Uncommon words — Unique vocabulary that stands out in crowded feeds
- Numbers — Headlines starting with numbers (e.g., "7 Ways…") tend to get more clicks
- Questions — Question headlines drive curiosity and engagement
Tips for Better Headlines
- Front-load your headline with the most important words
- Use odd numbers in listicles (7, 9, 13) — they outperform even numbers
- Include at least one power word or emotional trigger
- Test multiple headline variations and compare scores
