FAQs
What makes a good headline?
Clear benefit, specific numbers, 6 to 12 words, and at least one power or emotional word. It should tell the reader exactly what they get.
How long should a headline be?
For SEO, keep titles under about 60 characters so Google doesn't cut them off. For blog posts and emails, 6 to 12 words is a good target.
What are power words?
Words like proven, free, easy, instant and secret that trigger curiosity or urgency. Use one or two, not a pile of them.
Is a higher score always better?
It's a guide, not a rule. Always A/B test your top two headlines with real readers.
