How it works

Type or paste any headline and the analysis runs live — no button needed. The tool scores it 0–100 across nine checks: word count, character length, common/uncommon/emotional word balance, power words, reading grade, opening strength, numbers, and sentiment. Each check shows the points earned and exactly how to fix what’s missing, and the word-balance panel shows your percentages against proven targets.

Everyday uses

  • Bloggers — score every post title before publishing; small headline tweaks are the cheapest traffic win there is.
  • YouTubers — test video titles for emotional pull and power words before you upload.
  • Email marketers — stronger subject lines mean higher open rates; analyze each one in seconds.
  • Freelance writers — deliver titles your clients can see are data-backed, not guessed.
  • Ad buyers — quickly compare ad headline variants and pick the strongest before spending a dollar.

Rule of thumb: aim for 70+. Anything under 50 almost always needs a rewrite — usually it’s missing an emotional or power word and a number.

FAQ

How is the 0–100 score calculated? Nine checks add up to 100: word count (15), character length (15), common words (10), uncommon words (10), emotional words (10), power words (10), reading grade (10), strong opening (10), plus numbers and sentiment (5 each). Each check compares your headline against proven copywriting targets.

What is “word balance” and why does it matter? High-performing headlines mix word types: ~20–30% common glue words (the, your, how), 10–20% uncommon distinctive words (proven, world, truth), and 10–15% emotional words (shocking, easy, free). The balance panel shows your mix against those targets.

Is this score a guarantee of clicks? No — it’s a best-practice checklist, not a prophecy. Topic relevance, thumbnail, and audience still matter. But headlines scoring 70+ consistently outperform low-scoring ones.
