Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a good headline?▼
A good headline is 6-13 words, contains power words and emotional triggers, includes a number when possible, and clearly communicates value. The best headlines create curiosity while being specific about the benefit.
What are power words in headlines?▼
Power words trigger psychological responses — words like "proven", "free", "ultimate", "secret", "essential", and "exclusive". They increase click-through rates by creating urgency, curiosity, or perceived value.
How long should a headline be for SEO?▼
For Google, keep title tags under 60 characters (about 6-13 words). Google truncates titles longer than ~580 pixels (roughly 60 characters). For social media, headlines can be slightly longer.
Do numbered headlines really perform better?▼
Yes — research from BuzzSumo and CoSchedule shows that headlines with numbers get 36% more engagement. Odd numbers tend to perform slightly better than even numbers.
