Frequently Asked Questions

How does the headline analyzer work?

Our analyzer scores headlines based on multiple factors: word count (ideal is 6-12 words), emotional word usage, power words, numbers, question marks, and overall structure. These factors correlate with higher engagement in studies of viral content.

What makes a headline effective?

Effective headlines: create curiosity or urgency, promise clear value, use emotional or power words, are specific (numbers help), match reader intent, and are easy to understand quickly. The best headlines combine multiple elements.

What are power words in headlines?

Power words trigger emotional responses: 'Free,' 'Secret,' 'Proven,' 'Instantly,' 'Exclusive,' 'Warning,' 'Guaranteed.' They make headlines more compelling by adding urgency, exclusivity, or emotional weight.

Should headlines include numbers?

Often, yes. Headlines with numbers (especially odd numbers) consistently outperform those without. '7 Ways to...' is more specific and clickable than 'Ways to...' Numbers promise concrete, scannable content.

How long should a headline be?

For most contexts, 6-12 words or 50-70 characters works best. This is long enough to be specific but short enough to display fully in search results and social shares. Headlines over 70 characters often get truncated.

What's the ideal headline score?

Aim for 70+ out of 100. Scores above 70 indicate headlines with good emotional balance and structure. Don't obsess over perfect scores—a 75 that sounds natural beats an awkward 85. Use the score as a guide, not a rule.
