What Are Effective Headlines?

Online businesses should understand how SEO content works in order to know what makes a good headline.

Any content posted to your website, including web copy or blog posts, will be crawled by the Google algorithm and ranked based on keywords and quality. Headlines work the same way. They need to include high-traffic keywords and provide something of quality to the reader.

Think of it this way: 80% of online visitors will read a headline first before deciding whether to click on the entire article. A good headline will preview the topic and hook the reader.

Most importantly, a headline will ensure the reader that it’s not a waste of time to invest five minutes in reading the full article. Of course, doing this is a lot harder than it appears. Keep reading below for some tips.

Factors That Influence Headlines

Besides using our FREE Blog Topic Headline Title Generator to build a list of new headlines, what other things can writers do to enhance their existing titles?

Use Numbers

It’s a good idea to provide numbers in your content because it shows real results. For example, it’s better to say “the new blogs increased traffic by 200%” versus “more people read our new blogs.” Research has shown that headlines with specific numbers get more engagement.

Here’s something else interesting about using numbers in your headline: use odd numbers instead of even numbers. Oftentimes, odd numbers are seen as more authentic. That’s why you’ll see listicles using the numbers seven or nine.

Percentages are the best to use because they’re easy for everyone to understand. Shoppers are used to seeing sales communicated through percentages. The easier you can make it to understand, the better.

Avoid Duplication

Over 600 million blogs exist on the internet, according to recent estimates, and that number continues to grow every year. With so many bloggers writing similar articles, it’s a good idea to check that your headline is not being used somewhere else.

There are only so many ideas floating around to write about but you’ll want to set yourself apart as much as possible.

An easy way to do this is to put your title into Google and see what’s in the results. You may find there is another blog with the same title. In this case, you’ll want to revise your title to be unique. There is no reason to scrap the headline, just make a few adjustments so it doesn’t seem like you’re stealing content.

A Reason To Click

One of the best ways to determine if an article has value is whether its headline provides a reason to click. We all lead busy lives and see hundreds of headlines a day. Why should an online user click on your blog? Hopefully, it’s because they’ll get some type of takeaway.

For example, is your content offering tips, strategies, ideas, or steps to do something new? If your blog is a beginner’s guide on how to optimize your on-page SEO, then it should be reflected in the headline. Give your readers a reason to click.

This is another reason to know your target audience and intended outcomes before you write the blog. That way your appeal to readers can be catered to a specific audience.

Develop a Sense of Urgency

Motivating your readers with a sense of urgency is Marketing 101. Your product is awesome and effective, and you want readers to feel like they should get it as soon as possible.

There are several ways to achieve this effect. If you’re writing about a product, let your reader know it’s only available for a limited time or that they need it immediately to fix a problem.

Or if you’re describing a service, frame it as a secret that the reader absolutely has to know. It’s all about appealing to the readers FOMO.

Our free tool can help you start the process of writing killer headlines. You can copy and paste our generated headlines, or adjust a few until it works for your website.

Why It’s Important

There are two main reasons why writing effective headlines are important. The first is SEO. Headlines incorporating high-traffic keywords, your brand name, and value to your customer will help blogs rank higher. This is why our free headline tool asks for keywords and your desired outcome.

The other reason to have great headlines for your content is online consumer behavior. Shoppers will scroll through the web until they find an enticing headline related to something they want to learn or buy. At this point, they’ll either read the entire article or bookmark it for later. This is the first step in getting them to make a purchase.

While it’s better to have them read the content immediately, bookmarking your blog to read later is still better than having them skip it altogether.

The headline will get them through the door and the quality of your blog will ultimately sell them on your products or services. Your blog or landing page should be written to encourage conversions, whether that’s buying something, downloading an app, or scheduling a consultation.

What To Do With The Results

As you use The HOTH’s FREE Blog Topic Headline Title Generator we recommend saving all of the generated headlines. Make a spreadsheet with all of the headlines you generate and check them off when used.
