7 Tips for Better Headlines

Run more effective tests.

Test in high-traffic areas. Optimize the marquee areas on your site to make the best use of your time. Stick to the top of the homepage.

Fix your underperformers. Chartbeat’s digital overlay will alert you in real time if one of your headlines isn’t performing as well as it should. Look for red pins to find your best opportunity.

Try testing more than two variants. Headline tests with multiple variants typically see a higher lift in the winning headline, so write three or four variants whenever you can.
