Headline Testing FAQ
What types of headlines can I test?
Any headline at all. Article headlines, blog post titles, ad headlines, landing page headers, email subject lines, social media hooks, video titles—if it needs to grab attention, you can test it here.
Why do headlines matter so much?
Research consistently shows that 8 out of 10 people read the headline but only 2 out of 10 read the rest. Your headline is the single most important piece of copy you write. A stronger headline can dramatically increase clicks, opens, and engagement.
How do the simulated audience evaluate headlines?
Each of the 500 simulated Americans has unique demographics including age, education, political leaning, and region. They react to your headline as if encountering it naturally—rating it positive, negative, or neutral. You see the aggregate results broken down by each segment.
Can I test emotional vs. rational headlines?
Yes, and that is one of the most valuable tests you can run. Compare a curiosity-driven headline against a benefit-driven one, or test an emotional appeal versus a straightforward statement. The demographic breakdowns show which approach works for which audience.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are delivered to your email in about 8 minutes. Each of the 500 simulated Americans evaluates your headline variants, and the results are compiled into a detailed report with demographic breakdowns.
Are these real people evaluating my headlines?
No. SimAudience uses simulated audience modeled on demographic data. This is a synthetic simulation, not a survey of real people. Results provide directional guidance and are best used as a pre-publish filter alongside your own judgment.
