Headline Engine

The headline decides whether a great piece gets read, cited, and linked — or ignored. The Headline Engine produces 10 optimized headlines for any topic or article, plus A/B test pairs, an SEO title, and social variants, so every piece ships with a headline tested for clicks and citations.

What it does

10 headlines per topic
A range of angles for the same piece — direct, curious, contrarian, data-led — so you pick the strongest instead of settling for the first draft.
A/B test pairs
Matched pairs designed for testing, so you can measure which framing actually earns more clicks instead of debating it.
SEO title included
A search-optimized title variant for the same piece, so the headline that wins humans also works for rankings.
Social variants
Shorter, punchier versions for sharing, so the piece travels with its hook intact.

How it works

  1. 1.
    Enter your topic or article
    A subject, a draft title, or a finished piece — anything with a clear thesis.
  2. 2.
    Review 10 headlines and pairs
    Compare angles side by side and pick the framing with the strongest click and citation case.
  3. 3.
    Ship with the winner
    Use the SEO title on the page, the main headline for readers, and the social variants for distribution.

Frequently asked questions

Why do headlines matter for links?
Because the headline is what journalists, bloggers, and social sharers see first. A precise, quotable headline makes a piece easy to reference; a vague one makes it easy to skip, no matter how good the content is.
What makes a headline citable?
Specificity, a clear claim, and a reason to care. Headlines with a concrete angle — a number, a comparison, a surprising finding — get quoted far more than generic ones.
Is the Headline Engine part of every plan?
Headline Engine requires the Pro plan or higher. All plans start with a 7-day free trial.
