Paste your YouTube title. Get a score out of 100, dimension-by-dimension, pattern fit, emotional pull, specificity, length, readability, and curiosity gap.
No signup. Calibrated against 4,000+ top-performing YouTube uploads.
Six weighted dimensions, one composite score. No black box, here's exactly what each one measures.
Pattern · 22%
How closely the title fits a proven outlier pattern, list, identity claim, contrast, transformation. Pulled from real high-CTR uploads.
Emotional · 20%
Does the title carry an emotional charge, surprise, fear, status, relief? Flat-affect titles score low even when the topic is hot.
Specificity · 18%
Concrete numbers, named entities, and time anchors. "I tried X for 30 days" beats "I tried X for a while" every time, and on the rebalanced engine, specificity now carries more weight than the framework pattern itself.
Length · 15%
YouTube truncates titles around 60 characters on mobile. The sweet spot is 48–62, long enough to set up the hook, short enough to survive truncation.
Readability · 15%
Can a 12-year-old parse it in one second on a phone? Density, weak words, and awkward word order all drop this score.
Curiosity · 10%
Does the title open a question the viewer has to click to close? Information gaps, partial reveals, and stakes-setting all raise this score.
YouTube shows your video to viewers as a thumbnail and a title, they decide whether to click in roughly two seconds. The thumbnail gets attention; the title closes the deal. A video with a 3% click-through rate is invisible. The same video with a 9% CTR earns significantly more views from the same impressions.
Title scoring isn't magic, it's pattern recognition. We've catalogued what outlier YouTube titles share (curiosity hooks, specific numbers, contrast, identity claims) and broken those patterns into six measurable dimensions. The analyzer above measures your title against all six, returns the weighted composite, and tells you exactly what to change.
Run your last 5 titles through it. Run your top competitor's top 5 through it. You'll see the gap.
The analyzer tells you what's wrong with a title. The generator builds you new ones from scratch, 5 distinct framework-matched options in under 10 seconds, ranked internally so you can start with the Top pick. Free tier gives you 3 generations a day (15 titles).
