How to use the free AI headline generator
- 01
Describe what the piece is about.
- 02
Add a keyword if it's for search.
- 03
Pick a favourite, then score it with the headline analyzer.
Headline formats that work
Four formats consistently earn clicks: how-to ("How to Fix a Leaky Faucet in 10 Minutes"), list ("9 Faucet Problems You Can Fix Yourself"), question ("Why Is My Faucet Dripping?"), and benefit-led ("Stop Paying a Plumber for a $5 Fix"). Generating several in each lets you test which angle fits.
The best headline is one the article actually delivers on. A headline that over-promises gets the click but loses the reader, and Google notices when people bounce straight back.
