Attention zones

Eye-tracking research on F-pattern scanning shows readers look hardest at the first and last three words of a headline. The rest gets skimmed. Make these slots count.

First three words

HowtoWrite

These set the promise. Lead with a verb, a number, or a noun the reader is searching for.

Last three words

YourClick-ThroughRate

These leave the strongest aftertaste. Ending on a stopword (the, a, of) weakens the close.

How the score is built

Every component is shown in the breakdown above. The numbers come from small, well-known reference word lists and length bands documented in open SEO style guides, not from a black-box model. Use the score as a guide, not as a verdict.

Length (25 pts)

Full credit at 50 to 60 characters. Partial credit between 30 and 70.

Word balance (20 pts)

Full credit when at least three of the four word groups appear in the headline.

Headline type (15 pts)

How-to, list, and question headlines score highest; generic statements score lowest.

Power and emotional (15 pts)

One or two power or emotional words score highest; three or more is over the line.

Specificity (10 pts)

Numbers, especially at the start, score highest. Direct address with 'you' scores next.

Trust signals (15 pts)

Deductions for SHOUTING words, stacked exclamation marks, and ending on a stopword.

How to use

  1. Type or paste a single headline in Single headline mode, or paste up to ten variants in Compare variants mode (one per line).
  2. Read the score (0 to 100) and the letter grade. Open the score breakdown to see how length, word balance, type, power, specificity, and trust signals each contribute.
  3. Inspect the word balance bar and the per-word badges to spot common-only stretches; swap one common word for a power or emotional one to lift the score.
  4. Check the First three words and Last three words panels; lead with a verb, a number, or a noun the reader is searching for, and avoid ending on the, a, of, or to.
  5. Use the SERP preview at the bottom to confirm the headline fits Google's 600 px desktop title cap, then click Copy summary to share the full breakdown.

About this tool

Blog Headline Analyzer scores a blog or article headline on six dimensions: length against the Google desktop SERP cap, word balance across common, uncommon, emotional, and power words, headline type (how-to, list, question, guide, comparison, case study, announcement, or statement), power and emotional weight, specificity (numbers, years, direct address), and trust signals (all-caps shouting, stacked punctuation, trailing stopwords). Every component is shown in the breakdown so the score is never a black box; you see exactly which words and which length pushed the number up or down. A second mode compares up to ten variants side by side and ranks them by score, useful for picking the strongest option in an A/B test or editorial review. The tool measures real pixel width with the Canvas 2D API and the same Arial 20px setup Google uses on the desktop SERP, so the SERP fit warning matches what searchers actually see. The first and last three words are highlighted because eye-tracking research on F-pattern scanning shows those slots carry the most attention. Word lists are small, well-known reference lists drawn from open copywriting guides and SEO style references, not from a private model. Everything runs in your browser, so headlines, drafts, and unpublished post titles never leave your device.
