- It has four criteria namely; common, uncommon, emotional and power words to give you a 100 score.
- A score above 70 is good for an optimized headline.
- It is just like an A/B testing where you are checking different parameters of the same headline.
- Below image gives you a clear insight into choosing a suitable headline.
 |
| Unique Way to Analyze a Headline |
- You can choose any two words and make a better headline. I have chosen ‘tackle’ & ‘laziness’.
- Score 46: According to coschedule.com, the headline is too short, just 31 characters long and there are no uncommon, emotional and power words. Just there are only common words (to).
- Score 60: Headline is optimal but there are no uncommon and emotional words. There are one power word (top) and the one common word (to).
- Score 61: Headline is again too short, only 22 characters long. There are only 50% emotional words (how to).
- Score 68: Headlines is slightly short, 31 characters long. There is one common word (to), one uncommon word (ways), and two power words (top, win).
- Score 69: Headlines is 40 characters long. There are one common word (to), one uncommon word (ways), and two power words (top, irritating).
- Score 71: Headline is 39 characters long. There are three common words (do, to, you), one uncommon word (really), and two power words (want, win).
- Score 73: That’s right! The headline is 50 characters long. An optimal meta title length. There are three common words (do, to, you), one uncommon word (really), and two power words (want, win).
 |
| Un-Optimized Headline: Over 60 Characters |
· There is no strict rule that you must have at least one power word, one emotional word, one common word and one uncommon word.
· Instead, you can choose two uncommon words, or two power words or three common words and one emotional word.
· Just make your score above 70.
· Now, you have broader prospects of how to make a catchy headline.
· Just try and try and finally you will make a magnetic headline.
· Make your headlines only 60 characters long. An extra character will get ‘….’ symbol. Just take a close look to below image.

| Optimized Headline: Within 60 Characters |
What should be the correct approach for making a suitable headline?
- Every headline generation domain or software has limitations over what they have put in the HTML text.
- So, they can’t justice your creativity.
- On coschedule.com, I have high score on keyword ‘amazing SEO writer’.
- But for ‘top notch SEO writer’, the site doesn’t recognize my keyword as emotional word and turned down my score.
- Make sure that you must use longtail keywords because people prefer longtail over generic.
- For an example, ‘’how to tackle laziness’’, you get few results.
- However, ‘’how to win over irritating laziness’’, you will get quality results.
- Your can enhance your writing style by using longtail keywords.

| Meta Description: Focus Keywords |
- Use meta title 55-60 characters long and meta description 155-160 characters long for an SEO optimized article.

- You can create meta description as a simple right length, an active voice, a call-to-action (CTA), specifications, and focus keywords.
What should be your ideal meta description?
- If you are selling a product, a call to action is your favorite meta description.
- But, if you are launching a new product and want to leverage your product into a wider reach of viewers. I think ‘meta description as specifications’ suits your channel.
- If you want instant access to viewers from impactful sentences, then apply an active voice meta description in your profile.
- If you want to showcase your main focus keywords, then meta description as focus keywords is your key choice.
- A generic idea or an explanation would be your right choice for meta description as a simple right length.

- 2. Now, put “A man fishing on the river”. A mere description won’t fulfill the goal of the company.
- 3. Let us write ‘’Fishing kayak’’. Sounds good. But, it could be a bit more descriptive to suit the prospects of the company.
- 4. Next, add ‘’Patterned kayak, Sharp fishing kayak, Saturn popular kayaks, flat kayak price, buy fishing kayak’’. This is the perfect example of over-optimization. You can be penalized heavily by search engines.
- 5. Finally, put “Saturn Inflatable Fishing Kayak FK396”. This is the perfect image alt tag and it will fulfill the goal of the company.
