How Hook Strength is scored

Hook Strength (25 pts)

Opening word power, specificity (numbers), curiosity/tension words, contrast and negation — the signals that stop the scroll.

Clarity (25 pts)

Word count range, focus (single idea), punctuation density. A hook that confuses doesn't convert.

Engagement Potential (25 pts)

Power words, emotional resonance, question framing, identity challenges. The elements that make someone feel something.

Platform Fit (25 pts)

Character count relative to the ideal range for your selected platform. Hooks get truncated in feeds — length matters.

The Hook Analyzer uses the same signal logic as the Hook Strength dimension inside Ghostpen's Content Score™. It is not a guarantee of performance — different audiences, different tones, different contexts will all affect results. Use the score as a pre-publish signal, not a final arbiter.
