The score is a guide based on common headline best practice (length, clarity, specific numbers and strong words). Always write for your reader first, and avoid promises you can't back up.
What the analyser checks
- Length: 6–13 words and under about 65 characters usually display well and read quickly.
- Specifics: numbers, time frames and amounts make a promise concrete.
- Strong and emotional words: words such as “simple” or “finally” add pull, if they’re true.
- Format: lists, how-tos and questions are proven formats readers recognise.
- Tone: it flags ALL CAPS and repeated exclamation marks, which look spammy.
A high score doesn’t replace judgement. The best headline is accurate and makes a promise your content actually keeps.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good headline score?
Aim for 70 or above, but use the suggestions rather than chasing 100. A clear, honest headline beats a clever one.
Can I use it for YouTube titles and email subject lines?
Yes. The same principles apply, though YouTube titles and subject lines often work best even shorter.
Is clickbait a good idea?
No. Headlines that over-promise can damage trust, increase bounce rates and, for ads, break UK advertising rules.
