Score your title, see how it looks on phones and in search, and compare ideas before you publish.
Type a title to see its score, what to improve, and how it looks on a phone and in search results.
Write up to 3 other versions to see which scores best.
This works from a draft you have not published yet — type your planned title and description directly, or optionally load an already-published video's to review it retroactively. Every check is a well-documented, rule-based heuristic (length limits, keyword placement, known CTR patterns), not a black-box AI score.
Both work — type a title and description you have not published yet, or paste a video URL to load an already-published one for review.
In the title, within roughly the first 25 characters — before most of it could be cut off. In the description, before the "…more" cut-off (about the first 150 characters) so it's visible without a tap.
Not always — a single emphasized word can work fine. The warning is specifically for titles that are mostly capitalized throughout, which tends to read as spammy rather than emphatic.
Out of 100, from five checks: length (25), keyword placement (20, only when you enter a keyword), click appeal such as numbers, brackets, strong words or a question (25), readability — no shouting, spam punctuation or emoji clutter (20), and whether it mentions an outdated year (10). Each check shows its points, so you can see exactly what to improve.
No — these are rule-based best-practice checks, not a ranking algorithm. A title can pass every check here and still underperform if the content or thumbnail does not deliver on it.
