What makes a headline work

The patterns that consistently earn clicks: a number (lists feel concrete), 6–12 words (long enough to be specific, short enough to scan), a power or emotional word (proven, easy, ultimate), and a clear benefit. Keep it under ~60 characters so it isn't truncated in search. This tool checks those signals — but the real test is whether it promises something the reader actually wants.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a good headline?

A number, 6–12 words, a power or emotional word, and a clear benefit — kept under about 60 characters. This tool scores those signals.

How long should a headline be?

Around 6–12 words and under ~60 characters works well for both readers and search results, where longer titles get cut off.

Does a high score guarantee clicks?

No — it means the structure is strong, but the headline still has to promise something readers want. Pair it with content that delivers, which a tool like Frase helps you write.
