Frequently asked questions
What makes a strong headline?
Headlines that are 6–12 words, include a number or power word, and set a clear benefit tend to earn more clicks.
How is the score calculated?
It weighs word and character count, headline type, and the presence of power and emotional words into a single 0–100 score.
Do numbers in headlines really work?
Yes — numbered headlines consistently outperform in click-through studies because they promise concrete, scannable content. Odd numbers often edge out even ones.
