What this tool does
This generator writes title options for your topic and then scores each one against the titles that are genuinely trending in the country you pick. It also shows you the real trending titles on your topic, so you can see what you are being compared against rather than taking a number on trust.
How to use it
- Type your topic, or paste a YouTube URL to use that video's real title as the starting point.
- Choose the country you are publishing for. The benchmark changes country by country, and the differences are large.
- Read the scores, then paste your own draft into the "Score a title you already wrote" box to see which factors it hits and which it misses.
Limits you should know about
- The Title Score is a similarity benchmark, not a ranking prediction. It answers "does this look like what is trending here today", nothing more.
- It needs at least 20 trending titles for a country before it will produce a score. Until then it says so.
- AI suggestions require an AI provider to be configured. Without one, the real trending titles and the scoring still work in full.
- Titles longer than 300 characters are rejected; YouTube itself cuts off at 100.
Questions people ask
How is the Title Score calculated?
Six traits are checked: length band, a digit, a bracketed phrase, a question mark, an all-caps word, and words from the region's 25 most frequent title words. Each trait is weighted by how common it is among the titles trending in that country right now, and the score is the share of the available weight your title earns. The full formula is on the methodology page.
Why does the same title score differently in two countries?
Because the weights are measured per country. Digits appear in about half of India's trending titles and a third of the US's, and bracketed phrases are four times more common in the US than in India. A title that fits one market can look foreign in another.
Should I always aim for 100?
No. A score of 100 means your title looks exactly like everything else trending, which is a real trade-off against standing out. Use it to see which conventions you are ignoring, then ignore them on purpose rather than by accident.
How long should a YouTube title be?
Look at the length band on your country's page rather than at general advice: it shows the 25th to 75th percentile of trending title length for that country this week. YouTube truncates around 60–70 characters in most surfaces, which is why the bands rarely stretch far past that on mobile-heavy markets.
Do you store the titles I score?
No. Titles you type are used to produce the score and are not written to the database.
