Headline Studio by CoSchedule Review! English has things like this, and I’m envious…
The Korean version will probably take a long, long time to come out…
One of the most important factors in SEO is the title. It’s somewhat obvious. With numerous videos or articles (i.e., competitors) on platforms like YouTube or blogs, to stand out, you need to effectively generate what’s commonly called “aggro.” By the way, Naver (the most famous search engine in Korea) doesn’t have specific criteria for what appears at the top of search results. Well, there might be some general advice on what type of content works well on Naver, but at least there’s no extensive testing and validation done by numerous experts on tens of thousands of pages like Google.
반대로 얘기하면 구글은 어떤 식으로 글을 적어야 검색어 상단에 오르는 지 나름대로 많은 전문가들이 테스트를 실제로 했고 자세한 부분은 본인들 비밀이라서 공개하진 않겠지만 본인들의 기준이 다 있습니다. 그리고 요즘은 아예 이런 식으로 쓴 제목은 몇 점 짜리다… 이런 식으로 점수를 매겨주는 웹 서비스가 있습니다. 바로 제가 저번에 리뷰한 CoSchedule에서 운영하는 headline studio입니다.

At first glance, you may wonder why you would need a service that tells you your title score.
Once you try it, you’ll realize your own inadequacies(?).
The importance of titles is, of course, self-evident, and even though I may seem to come up with titles somewhat casually, I still put in at least some thought while crafting titles for my blog posts. This part is actually in the realm of human emotions, so there may not be a perfect formula. However, oddly enough, when you actually use Headline Studio, you’ll notice that the scores can subtly change based on factors like word placement and frequency. It makes me think it’s not just about using a lot of good words. Whether it’s because I’m not proficient in English or not, getting a high score can be quite challenging for me. Even getting into the 80s was difficult to me… The fortunate (?) aspect is that achieving high scores wasn’t just difficult for me; it seemed to be a rarity among my competitors as well. people are quite similar in this regard…
There’s something called a Power Word that determines your title SEO.
But it’s a lot of words… How effective is it?
In fact, even among bloggers, there have been what we commonly refer to as ‘Power Words.’ There have always been words that are good at appealing to readers’ attention. In addition to these pages, most foreign bloggers also cover this topic. It seems that Headline Studio, at its core, is likely to score SEO based on Power Words. But as I said, I think the advantage of this tool is that it’s not just about writing a lot of good words, it’s about scoring the right grammar, the right frequency.
However, as expected(?), it does not support Korean… In the first place, among these SEO-related tools, support for the Korean language is non-existent. There are a few places that provide some support for Korea as a region, but when it comes to ‘language,’ there really isn’t much available. In reality, it’s hard to predict when it might happen. It’s unavoidable, but among other tools, there are many cases where they support other languages. While it might make sense for European languages, personally, I found it a bit frustrating that some tools support Japanese. It seems like South Korea still has limited influence on the web… These are the things that make you realize.
The free version is too limited in features, but a simple score…
Is the discount worth it if you’re serious about your blog?
Honestly, at first, I wondered why bother using something like this, but I quickly realized its value when I actually tried it. However, it seems even they recognize the value because the free version is quite limited in terms of features. To put it plainly, it’s like, “What score does my title get?” Beyond this, it’s not allowed. “How should I revise it?” Adding words like this, more or less. Almost all these features are supported only in the paid version. Well, it seems they impose these restrictions to incentivize users to go for the paid version… Also, recently, they’ve followed the trend by adding AI-related features. There might be a function that automatically suggests appropriate words, I presume.
The price, based on an annual subscription, is originally around $16, which is on the expensive side, but occasionally, they offer discounts. Currently, it’s discounted to $8 per month based on the annual subscription. At this level, it might be worth considering an investment if you’re serious about your blog. However, objectively, it’s still relatively expensive… Of course, this is still objectively expensive…
There is also a WordPress plugin version.
However, the updates are slow and the evaluation is not that good… I’m still using it well.
On the other hand, there’s also a WordPress plugin version of Headline Studio I am currently using it too. However, it tends to have slower updates, and there are a few reviews, including some unfavorable ones. Personally, I’m managing to use it quite well, though. Since, in any case, with the free version, you can only see scores for a few headlines, it’s quite handy for checking what score you’d get when you write in English.
This is one of those times when I’m jealous of your English… but it works for me when I’m translating blogs.
Personally, what I envy about English is that there are many tools like this. As mentioned earlier, there are tools that support Japanese, and considering the user base for Korean has exceeded 100 million, I think we might see more and better tools in the future. Anyway, despite the limited functionality for now, I find it quite useful for checking scores when translating my blog into English.
I can’t shake the feeling that it’s quite expensive, but I still believe there are valid reasons for using these kinds of tools. With competitors gradually emerging, it will be interesting to see how Headline Studio differentiates itself and maintains its position in the future.
Headline Studio Summary
Good point
- It’s a tool you’ll need anyway.
- It’s not the best value for money, but the free version still shows the most important ‘scores’…
Disappointing point
- The price is, frankly, high
- No other language support
- WordPress plugin versions are slow to update
