The headline of your article might be one of the most important things you write. A great SEO headline will attract people \u2013 it will make them interested to see what\u2019s in store for them in an article or blog. Writing a great SEO headline is similar to sales copy text or an email; you want to come up with something clickable, something that attracts your consumer.<\/p>\n

Here are 5 tips that, when incorporated, can make your SEO headline more attractive to readers.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Include the five Ws<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you have ever taken a journalism course, you probably know what the five w\u2019s are. They stand for \u2018who, what, when, where and why.\u2019<\/a> Try and include as many of these in your headline. You probably will not use all of them, but using a combination of these will help you create a great SEO headline. The reader has just read your headline as of yet; they have not reached the article yet. So, the more information present, the better.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Make Your SEO Headline as Unique as Possible<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Sometimes readers find unique, humorous headlines compelling. By creating \u2018unique\u2019 headlines, we mean that your text has to be one of a kind. It has to be different from the other headlines about similar topics present. By including attractive and relevant keywords and long-tail keywords, you can make your SEO titles<\/a> stand out even more.<\/p>\n

So, after you have written a one-of-a-kind headline, how can you test it for uniqueness? Simply plug your headline into google enclosed in double quotation marks. Scroll down the page, and if you see \u2018no results found\u2019 written, it means your headline is actually unique.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Lists, Digits and Numbers<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Just like listing pointers in your blog makes your text stand out, starting your headline with a number can make it stand out too. The human eye is usually attracted to the juxtaposition of a digit next to text. It also gives the reader a clear idea of what to expect. A scan-friendly, quick read by the reader can be expected. Some great words to start your SEO title with can be \u2018Tips,\u2019 \u2018Tricks,\u2019 \u2018Strategies,\u2019 \u2018Techniques\u2019 \u2018Methods,\u2019 or \u2018Ideas.\u2019<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Construct a Sense of Urgency<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Your headline is your opportunity to get your audience excited about your text. The body of your article contains all the information, but your headline is the tool to compel people and make them eager to see what you have to offer. In order to make your headline clickable, create a sense of urgency that the audience needs to click this headline NOW.<\/p>\n

For example, \u201cHow to Prepare Dog Food at Home\u201d sounds informative. But \u201cThings You Need to Consider Before Preparing Dog Food at Home\u201d has more of a sense of urgency. It tells the reader that they NEED to know these things before they even contemplate preparing dog food at home. It gives the reader that urge to learn something they didn\u2019t know before.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Attractive Word Usage<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Strong word usage adds excitement and urgency to your headline. You can use words like \u2018best,\u2019 \u2018great,\u2019 or \u2018awesome\u2019 in your headline, but it does not have the same impact. Try using a combination of strong, exciting words that build energy and enthusiasm. Try using words like \u2018crushing,\u2019 \u2018overwhelming,\u2019 \u2018Magnificent,\u2019 \u2018Explosive,\u2019 and the like in your SEO headline. Also, the shorter your headline is, the better. Include only the necessary information and remove all extraneous details.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
