Headlines:

Headlines are top-level headers on an article or piece of content that summarize the substance of a piece. A headline is meant to highlight the main point or category of content, so viewers know the general topic of what they would see if they were to read on.

You can use the Headline Analyzer to help you write all sorts of different headlines, like news, blog, and ad headlines.

News headlines need to be short, free of clutter, and offer something insightful, like the example above.

Blog headlines can be delivered in a variety of ways. Many blog headlines are conversational or casual, but they include keywords and formats that intrigue readers to click through.

Ad headlines are usually pretty extravagant and offer readers an answer to an obvious question or problem they may be having. Ad headlines are steered towards the marketing and promotion side of content.
