Headlines go viral, not content – our free headline analyzer tool can help you write better headlines
Why are headlines important?
Your headline matters – really matters.
If you want your blog, email, tweet, post… anything to have an impact on your readers, you need to get their attention. You need to entice them to read further.
In today’s world, we are constantly bombarded with information, and catching someone’s eye is next to impossible.
This is why your headline is key…
Simply put, content doesn’t go viral, headlines do
Complex and well-thought-through articles do not go viral.
Well crafted and engaging emails do not get opened.
Even the most engaging Facebook adverts do not get clicked on.
It’s the headline that people share.
It’s the headline that people talk about.
Headlines go viral. Headlines get opened. Headlines get clicks.
A few words can be the difference between success and failure.
Headlines have always mattered
Great writers, both modern and classic, tell us the same message:
“An exceptional title can get your article to be shared on social networks, even before it is read.”
Neil Patel
(Forbes Top 10 Marketer, Wall Street Journal Top Internet Influencer, New York Times Bestselling Author)

“On the average, five times as many people read the headline as read the body copy. When you have written your headline, you have spent eighty cents out of your dollar.”
David Ogilvy
(CBE, British Advertising Tycoon, Ogilvy & Mather Founder, The “Father of Advertising”)
– – –
“Headlines, crossheads, taglines, bold phrases—If you don’t nail them, you lose your reader.”
Justin Blackman
(PrettyFly Copywriting Founder, The Headline Project Creator)

How does a headline analyzer tool work?
A headline analyzer tool breaks down your headline and assesses each word and phrase. It then determines how likely those words are to engage readers.
At 25 Headlines, our complex algorithm calculates hundreds of variables, words and phrases. This allows us to provide an accurate engagement score.
Using the latest research and machine learning techniques, we can determine how likely a headline is to drive traffic, capture attention, increase shares, and rank better in search results.
We’ve then combined this with the concept of writing 25 headlines – you can read more about why here. Plus, provide you with valuable feedback for every headline you write, to help you improve.
