Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good headline score?
A score of 70+ is considered good. Scores above 80 are excellent — these headlines have strong power words, optimal length, and effective structure. Most professionally written headlines score between 60-80.
How to write better headlines?
Use numbers (especially odd numbers), include power words like 'proven' or 'essential', keep it between 6-12 words, and use a clear headline type like how-to or list format. Our analyzer gives specific suggestions for improvement.
What are power words?
Power words are persuasive words that trigger an emotional response and compel readers to take action. Examples include 'free', 'proven', 'secret', 'ultimate', 'essential', 'guaranteed', and 'exclusive'. Using 2-3 power words in a headline significantly increases click-through rates.
How does the headline analyzer work?
The analyzer evaluates your headline across multiple dimensions: word count (optimal 6-12), character count (optimal 50-70), power word usage, emotional word density, headline type detection (how-to, list, question), and whether it starts with a number. Each factor contributes to the overall 1-100 score.
Does this tool store my headlines?
No. The Headline Analyzer runs 100% in your browser. Your headlines are never sent to any server or stored anywhere. Your data stays completely private.
