A headline analyzer scores how strong your headline is before you publish. Type your headline and this free tool gives you a score out of 100 plus the word count, character length, and a checklist of what to fix, in seconds. It runs in your browser, stores nothing, and works for blog posts, emails, ads and landing pages.
How to read your score
The score runs from 0 to 100 and rewards the things that actually make people click. Length is first: six to ten words and under 60 characters so it shows in full in Google. Then the levers, a number, a power word, a little emotion, and speaking to the reader with you or your. A headline that hits most of these lands at 80 or higher. If yours scores lower, the checklist tells you exactly which lever is missing so you know what to change.
Why your headline is the whole game
On a search results page, a social feed or an inbox, the headline is often the only thing a reader sees before deciding. You can write a brilliant post, but if the headline is flat, most people never reach it. Improving the headline is the cheapest way to get more from work you have already done, and the same clarity that wins clicks makes your content easier for AI answer engines to quote and cite.

Frequently asked questions
What makes a good headline?
A good headline is specific, short enough to show in full (under 60 characters), and gives the reader a clear reason to click. The strongest headlines pair a number or a question with a power word and speak directly to the reader using you or your. Six to ten words is the sweet spot.
What is a good headline score?
Aim for 80 or higher on this tool. That means your headline is a workable length, fits in Google results, and uses at least one of the levers that lift clicks: a number, a power word, some emotion, and direct address to the reader. A score of 50 to 65 is average and worth another pass.
How many words should a headline be?
Six to ten words works best for most blog posts and pages. It is long enough to be specific and short enough to read at a glance and to show in full in search results. If you are over 13 words, cut the ones that are not pulling their weight.
Does this headline analyzer use AI or store what I type?
No. It runs entirely in your browser and scores your headline on the spot, so nothing is sent anywhere or saved. You can test unpublished headlines and campaign ideas without them leaving your device.
Why do headlines matter for SEO and AI search?
Most people who see your page in search decide whether to click based on the headline alone, so a stronger headline means more clicks from the same ranking. Clear, specific headlines are also easier for AI answer engines to understand and quote, which helps you get cited.
