What the headline grader does

The Headline Grader generates a set of headline options for your topic and ranks each one on how well it performs when AI answer engines read your page. You give it a topic or a draft headline, and it returns ten angles scored from strongest to weakest for AI visibility.

Headlines do more than earn clicks now. Answer engines use them to decide what a page is about, whether it answers the question, and how to attribute the source. A headline that states a clear, complete idea gets lifted straight into an answer. A vague tease gets ignored while a clearer competitor gets quoted.

Every headline is scored on three dimensions: liftability, which is how cleanly an engine can quote it out of context; readability, which is how clear it reads to a person; and attribution, which is how well it signals the specific subject so engines credit you correctly. Each option also comes with an angle label and a one-line rationale so you know why it ranks where it does.

Frequently asked

What makes a headline good for AI answer engines?

Answer engines favor headlines that state a clear, self-contained idea they can lift as a heading or answer. The best headlines name the specific subject, read well out of context, and avoid vague teases or clickbait that mean nothing on their own.

What do liftability, readability, and attribution mean?

Liftability is how cleanly an engine can quote the headline out of context. Readability is how clear and natural it reads to a person. Attribution is how well it signals the specific subject or brand so an engine credits your content correctly.

How many headlines does it generate?

Ten. Each one takes a genuinely different angle, from question form to data-led to how-to, so you can compare approaches rather than minor rewordings of the same idea.

Can I rank a headline I already have?

Yes. Paste your draft headline as the topic. The tool will score alternatives against the same subject so you can see whether your current headline holds up or whether a stronger angle exists.

Should I always pick the top-ranked option?

The top option is the strongest for AI visibility, but pick the one that also fits your brand voice and the promise of the page. Use the rationale and dimension scores to make the call with your own judgement.

Does a strong headline guarantee I get cited?

A strong headline improves the odds an engine understands and quotes your page, but the body content, your authority, and crawl access all matter too. This tool sharpens the headline lever, which is one of the fastest to fix.

Is the grader free?

Yes. Enter your topic and run the ranking, then add a work email to reveal all ten ranked headlines with scores and rationale at no cost.
