Frequently Asked Questions
- How is the headline score calculated?
- The score out of 100 is a rule-based heuristic. It rewards an ideal character length (50-60), a word count of 6-12, power words, emotional words, numbers, and question form, and it deducts for all-caps shouting and repeated keyword stuffing. It is guidance, not a guarantee of performance.
- What is the ideal headline length?
- Around 50-60 characters is a good target — long enough to be specific, short enough to avoid truncation in Google search results and most social feeds. 6-12 words is a comfortable word-count band.
- What are power words and emotional words?
- Power words (like proven, essential, ultimate) signal concrete value and urgency. Emotional words (like surprising, heartwarming, shocking) trigger curiosity or feeling. Used sparingly, both tend to lift click-through rates.
- Does a high score guarantee more clicks?
- No. This tool applies transparent, rule-based checks drawn from common copywriting advice. Real performance depends on your audience, topic, and platform — always A/B test important headlines.
- Is my headline sent to a server?
- No. All analysis runs entirely in your browser with plain JavaScript. Nothing you type is uploaded, stored, or shared.
