What Makes a Great Headline?
Optimal Length
50-60 characters and 6-12 words work best. This ensures your headline displays fully on social media and search results.
Power Words
Words like "ultimate," "proven," "secret," and "amazing" increase clicks and engagement by creating emotional appeal.
Emotional Triggers
Urgency, curiosity, fear, and benefit words tap into psychology and drive action from your audience.
Use Numbers
Headlines with numbers perform 36% better. Specific numbers like "7 Ways" or "30 Days" add credibility and clarity.
Ask Questions
Question headlines create curiosity gaps that compel readers to click for the answer. Start with "How," "Why," or "What."
Clear Value
Your headline should immediately communicate what the reader will gain. Be specific about the benefit or outcome.
Headline Analyzer FAQ
What makes a headline effective?
Effective headlines combine optimal length (50-60 characters), power words, emotional triggers, specific numbers, and clear value propositions. They should create curiosity while clearly communicating benefits.
How is the score calculated?
The score is based on six key factors: character count (20 points), word count (20 points), power words (20 points), emotional triggers (15 points), numbers (10 points), and question format (10 points). Each factor is weighted based on conversion research.
Should I always aim for a perfect score?
Not necessarily. A score of 70+ is excellent. The most important thing is that your headline accurately represents your content and appeals to your specific audience. Always A/B test different versions.
Can I use this for social media posts?
Absolutely! These principles work for blog titles, social media posts, email subject lines, and ad headlines. Different platforms may have varying character limits, so adjust accordingly.
How often should I test different headlines?
Test headlines regularly, especially for important content like landing pages and key blog posts. Even small improvements can significantly impact click-through rates and conversions.
Do longer headlines ever work better?
Sometimes! While 50-60 characters is optimal for most platforms, longer headlines can work for blog posts and content where you have more space. Focus on clarity and value over rigid length rules.
