Blog Headline Generator (Clicks + SEO)
Your headline does 80% of the work. A great post with a flat headline gets buried; a mediocre post with a sharp headline crosses 100k views. We've reverse-engineered the patterns that win across HackerNews, Medium, and Google's top 10 — and the AI generates 10 variants tuned to those patterns whenever you ask.

Three things, almost universally: (1) a specific number, (2) a curiosity gap that isn't clickbait, and (3) a hint of contrarianism. '7 React hooks you're using wrong' beats 'A guide to React hooks' every single time.
Four headline frameworks the tool uses
1) The Listicle: 'X things about Y that…'. 2) The How-To: 'How I/we [achieved Y] in [timeframe]'. 3) The Contrarian: 'Why [common belief] is wrong about [topic]'. 4) The Curiosity Gap: '[Thing] that nobody is talking about'. The generator mixes all four so you can pick the right tone for your blog.
How to pick the winner
Three-step test: read it out loud, paste it in Google to check competition, and imagine it in your inbox. If you'd open the email, you've got a headline.
