SEO headlines for news: search, social, WhatsApp and broadcast versions
Paste your story. Byline writes headlines for every place your story appears, with character counts and when to use each.
How it works
Open Headline Lab in your workspace and fill in what you know. Rough notes are fine; required fields are marked.
| You give | Example |
|---|---|
| Story summary | Paste your story or a brief summary of what the story is about… |
| Publication (optional) (optional) | The Daily Herald |
Press Write and the result appears as it is written.
Tips
- Keep the SEO headline under 60 characters with the key search words first.
- Never publish the click-bait version: it is there as a reference only.
Accuracy first
Byline writes only from the facts you give it. It never invents quotes, sources or figures, and when something important is missing it marks the gap, like [CHECK: name of the spokesperson], for you to fill. You check every fact before publishing.
