Good to know

What makes a good TikTok hook?
It’s specific, it opens a question the viewer wants answered, and it gets to the point in under three seconds. Vague openers like “check this out” rarely hold anyone.
How is the score calculated?
The checker rates specificity, curiosity, clarity and speed, then explains the weakest one. It’s guidance from proven patterns, not a prediction of views.
Is it free?
Yes, a few checks a day with no sign-up.
