Here is a great way to check if your titles are any good

I have discovered this new way to know if my title is good and relevant.
It's very simple.
Copy your title and paste it into google and see the results.
If the results are relevant then your title is good.
If the search returns different results it means that Google does not understand your query.
Just wanted to share this here.
Hope you guys like it

 

Want to add one more line
When search in Google add your title in double quotes ("Title") to check more relevancy

 

That's true, You can find relevancy by this (" ") operator. It is very helpful in some of my research. It gives you an exact match search.

 

It is a good way to check, I always have been using this method with '''' & without commos both at the same time. The reason is you can't predict what Google will do to your query & what will show, so i check both of the ways.

 

That's actually a good idea. Thanks.

 

I've used some analyzing tools, but your idea sounds great. I'll definitely try and share the result with you here!

 

I don't think the original poster's method will give you any helpful results. Let's say your Google-indexed article title is "healing of cancer". Search it on Google. If you're not Johns Hopkins, Harvard Medical School, or the like, you'll rank so far down the list you probably won't even find your webpage in the results. So you will have learned nothing other than that you're outranked by other high reputation webpages, even though your article may be a good one and completely relevant to "healing of cancer."

Now let's say you have another good, Google-indexed article on very low-competition keyword(s) — for example, say the title is: "Leather workers in the Small Rural Village of Smithtown, Kentucky." (I just made that up). Search that article on Google, in quotation marks, or even without quotation marks. You'll very likely rank #1 or close to it. But that tells you nothing other than that you're probably the only website with that content. And nobody is searching for that content.

 

I agree with Jim, this will give very little insight.
1. The title isn't the only factor whether an article is relevant or not. Search intent is important and includes the actual content of the article.
2. Just because a title shows up for an expected query, doesn't make the title optimal or give you a competitiveness view or a CTR advantage.
3. To get a better competitive reading on queries use these two operators in search. allintitle: or allinurl: and look at how many results show up.
4. AI can create great Titles with high CTR's

 

It depends on what kind of information you are looking for. If you want to know if the targeted phrase brings up the right kinds of websites it will work very well. For example, we make battery backups for buses. When I type "battery backups for buses" I get ten pages of reports how electric school buses might be used as storage batteries for the electrical power grid. So I need to come up with a better approach for my product.

 

The writer makes a very essential and worthy point. The emphasis is on whether it is worth the effort and research writing about this topic, and how competitive it is. if there are few results it may indicate two things. No one cares about it, or it is unexplored.
A few days ago, I was asked to create an article about Jackie Chan. I decided to use the title How Did Jackie Chan Get His Name?
I ran a similar title search and found out that my topic was not such a popular theme. After all, most people believe that that is his real name. I found a gold mine. Now I had a title and an angle.
Now, the downside of this method is that you are not scoring any SEO points. This is just for creativity and content design. If you want to understand the full extent of your title, try Key Search toolkit. It is free and provides in-depth analysis that will give your writing a boost. You will know what you must do to rank better.
