A strong headline is 6-12 words long, under 60 characters for SEO, and includes at least one power word or emotional trigger. Headlines that start with numbers, "How," "Why," or "What" tend to get more clicks. The best headlines create curiosity, promise a clear benefit, or tap into a specific emotion — without resorting to clickbait. This analyzer checks all of these factors and gives you a single score plus specific suggestions to improve.
Power words are emotionally charged words that trigger a psychological response — words like "proven," "secret," "free," "instant," "guaranteed," and "exclusive." Research shows headlines with power words get significantly higher click-through rates because they tap into curiosity, urgency, or desire. This tool checks your headline against a curated list of 50+ proven power words and tells you which ones you are using and whether you need more.
For SEO, keep your headline under 60 characters so Google displays it fully in search results without truncation. The ideal word count is 6-12 words — short enough to scan quickly but long enough to convey value. Headlines between 50-60 characters tend to perform best for both search visibility and click-through rates. This tool shows you a live Google search preview so you can see exactly how your headline will look.
