Write headlines that get clicks
Your headline is the most important part of any piece of content. It determines whether someone clicks from search results, shares on social media, or opens your email. Studies show that 80% of people read headlines, but only 20% go on to read the full content — so the headline must do its job in seconds.
Word count matters: The sweet spot for most headlines is 6–10 words. Too short and you lack context; too long and readers lose interest before reaching the end. Headlines between 6–10 words consistently outperform shorter and longer alternatives in click-through tests.
Numbers convert: List headlines ("5 Ways to...", "7 Reasons Why...") are among the best-performing headline formats. Numbers signal specific, structured content and set clear expectations. They stand out visually in busy feeds and search results pages.
Power words trigger action: Words like "proven", "ultimate", "secret", "instant", and "guaranteed" have been tested extensively and shown to increase engagement. Use them naturally — one or two per headline is enough.
Character limit for SEO: Keep headlines under 60–70 characters to prevent truncation in Google search results. This tool shows you exactly how many characters your headline uses and flags it if it exceeds the recommended length.
