Headline testing

Find the headline that earns attention.

Compare two positioning or landing-page headlines with a real audience before publishing.

Create your survey for free, then choose a paid results plan before you publish and collect responses.

Why it helps

Make the decision smaller.

Validate clarity and appeal before sending traffic to a page or campaign.

When to use it

Match the method to the decision.

Use headline preference testing before publishing a new landing page, paid campaign, email, or positioning statement. Hold the surrounding context constant and compare headlines that represent meaningfully different messages rather than trivial word changes.

Example

Ask a question you can act on.

Show the same product description beneath each headline and ask a defined audience which version makes the product easier to understand or more relevant to their needs. Avoid asking about clicks unless respondents are making a real behavioral choice.

Interpretation

Know what the winner means.

Preference indicates which message respondents selected, not the conversion rate either headline will produce. Use the result to select a promising challenger, then measure actual clicks or conversions when sufficient live traffic is available.
