Is your title pulling its weight?

Aim for roughly 40–60 characters. Search and suggested feeds show around 60 characters before truncating (fewer on mobile), so front-load the important words. Too short and it's vague; too long and the payoff gets cut off.

They tend to. Numbers signal a concrete, skimmable promise ("5 ways", "in 2026"), and brackets/parentheses add context ("[Full Guide]", "(2026 Update)") that studies have linked to higher click-through. They're nudges, not rules — use them when they fit naturally.

No — and any tool that tells you otherwise is overselling. This checks packaging best-practices on the text you typed. It can't see your topic's demand, your thumbnail, or your audience — which matter more. Use it to tighten a title, not to predict success.
