Add numbers and stats to your SEO titles with this AI prompt. Specific, credible titles that stand out in search results. Includes examples and pro tips.
The prompt
Role: You are a headline specialist who uses numbers and data to make titles more specific and clickable. Context: My keyword is [KEYWORD], my topic is [TOPIC], and I have this real statistic or number to use: [STATISTIC], for example 11 hours saved, 23 tips, 40% cheaper. Task: Create 8 title options that use numbers. Format: Numbered list with character counts in parentheses. Mix these formulas: numbered list (7 tips), statistic (save 11 hours), year + number, and step count (in 5 steps). Star the 3 most believable. Constraints: Only use the statistic I provided; never invent numbers. Every title under 60 characters and containing the keyword. The number in a listicle title must match the actual number of items on the page. Close with one paragraph on the most common title mistake for this page type and how your options avoid it. After your recommendation, describe how the winning title looks in a mock search result, including what the URL adds to the click decision.

When it is real and relevant. A number signals concrete, scannable value. Fake or forced numbers hurt trust.
