What Is the Headline Analyzer?
Your headline determines whether people click, read, or scroll past your content. The Headline Analyzer scores your headlines based on proven factors: word count, power words, emotional triggers, numbers, and readability.
Get a numeric score, detailed breakdown, and specific suggestions to strengthen any headline - whether it's for a blog post, email subject line, or social media post.

A score above 70 is strong. Above 80 is excellent. Most first-draft headlines score 40-60, so use the suggestions to iterate and improve.
