What you get

Inside the analyzer

Four panels designed to find a winning headline in under a minute.

Six-dimension score

A breakdown that matches how readers actually scan

Each dimension gets its own bar so you know whether the headline is failing on clarity, emotion, SEO, or AI surface.

Three rewrites

AI-generated alternates ranked by predicted CTR

Each variation preserves your original meaning but tightens the language and lifts the score.

Power word library

See which power words triggered the lift

Highlighted words show exactly which language is doing the emotional work in each variation.

Length check

Optimal length for SERPs and social previews

Validates pixel width for Google SERPs, Twitter/X cards, and Open Graph previews so nothing gets truncated.

Frequently asked questions

How does the headline score work?
The analyzer scores six dimensions — emotional impact, clarity, word balance, SEO strength, length, and AI citability — then combines them into a single 0–100 score weighted by predicted click-through impact.
What makes a great headline?
Great headlines deliver a clear promise, use one or two power words, target a specific reader, fall between 50 and 65 characters, and contain the primary keyword near the front. The analyzer scores all of those signals automatically.
Are the rewrite suggestions any good?
Yes — each rewrite is generated by the same model that powers LinkLoom's editor, then re-scored against the same six dimensions so only variants that beat the original are shown.
Does it work for ad and email subject lines?
Yes. The same six dimensions apply to ad headlines, email subject lines, social posts, and YouTube titles. Length thresholds adjust automatically based on the content type you select.
Will high-CTR headlines hurt my SEO?
No — the analyzer balances emotional pull with keyword placement. A headline only scores high if it satisfies both clarity and ranking requirements simultaneously.
Do I need to sign up?
No. The headline analyzer is 100% free with no signup, no email capture, and no usage caps. Score as many headlines as you want.
How is this different from CoSchedule's headline analyzer?
LinkLoom adds two dimensions CoSchedule does not: SEO strength scored against real SERP data, and AI citability scored against LLM citation behavior. The rewrites are also AI-generated, not template-based.
Can I analyze headlines in other languages?
Yes — the analyzer supports 30+ languages. Power word libraries and emotional triggers are localized for each.
