How it's calculated
The score (0–100) rewards 6–12 words and 50–60 characters, power and emotional words, a number, and a clear format (how-to, list, question), and penalizes very long or all-caps headlines. It's a heuristic, not a prediction.
Frequently asked questions
What's the ideal headline length?
Around 6–12 words and under 60 characters, so it isn't cut off in search results.
Why do numbers help?
List headlines ('7 ways to…') set clear expectations and tend to stand out in feeds.
Should I stuff in power words?
No — one or two well-chosen words beat a string of hype. Accuracy matters more than clickbait.
