A headline is the one line that decides whether the rest of your work gets read. In search results and social feeds, people skim dozens of titles in seconds and click the one that promises the clearest payoff. This analyzer scores your headline out of 100 across five things that reliably move clicks: length, word count, power words, numbers and the opening word. None of them rank a page on their own, but together they decide whether the searcher who sees your title chooses you over the result above and below you.
Keep the title near 55 characters so Google does not cut it off in search, and aim for six to twelve words so a reader can take it in at a glance. Lead with a concrete promise, then sharpen it with a power word, a number or a trigger word where it fits the topic. The table below shows the targets this tool checks against.
| Element | Target | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Word count | 6 to 12 words | Short enough to scan, long enough to set a clear promise. |
| Character length | Around 55, under 60 | Stays inside the width Google shows before it truncates the title. |
| Power word | At least one | Words like proven or essential add urgency and curiosity. |
| Number | Where it fits | Sets a clear expectation and stands out in a list. |
| Opening word | How, why, best, top | Signals the format and the benefit in the first beat. |
Use the score as a checklist, not a target to game. A headline stuffed with power words and numbers that does not match the page will lose the click on the next visit, and Google rewrites titles it judges misleading. Write a promise the page keeps, then trim and sharpen it until the checks turn green.
