Analyzer · 100% free, no signup · Updated May 2026
Score your YouTube / Reels / TikTok title before you publish.
A free analyzer for YouTube and short-form video titles. Scores on 5 dimensions: CTR potential, length compliance per platform, keyword presence, emotional resonance, and curiosity gap. Outputs a 0-100 composite plus 3 alternative titles tuned to the lowest-scoring dimension.
Paste a video title. The analyzer scores expected click-through rate based on length, specificity (numbers, dollar amounts, time references), curiosity hooks, and platform-native pattern detection (YouTube-style payoff vs TikTok-style cold-open).
Who this is for
YouTubers, short-form creators, and course creators who want pre-publish CTR feedback without a paid SEO tool.
The problem this solves
Title CTR is the single biggest lever in YouTube + short-form ranking. Most creators ship the first title that "sounds OK" without quantifying why one earns 8% CTR vs 2%. The analyzer surfaces the structural patterns top channels use and scores yours against them.
YouTube titles between 50-60 characters earn approximately 23% higher CTR than titles over 70 characters (truncated on mobile) or under 30 characters (not enough context).

Frequently asked
What's the optimal video title length?
YouTube long-form: 50-60 characters. Shorts/TikTok/Reels: 30-50 characters. LinkedIn native video: 60-75 characters. The analyzer flags violations.
How is this different from the YouTube title generator?
The analyzer scores an existing title. The generator creates new title variants from your topic. Workflow: generate → analyze → pick the highest scorer.
Does keyword stuffing in titles still work?
No. Google/YouTube algorithms downweight titles with 3+ keyword repetitions. The analyzer flags this as "over-optimized."
What's a curiosity gap title?
A title that opens a knowledge loop without resolving it. "I tried [X] for 30 days — the result will surprise you." Earns clicks because the resolution is hidden.
Should I always optimize for max CTR?
No. Click-bait that doesn't deliver tanks watch-time, which the algorithm punishes more than low CTR rewards you. Balance CTR with content match.
