Email Subject Line and Preview Text Audit

Table output Has example

Review a batch of email subject lines and preview text for clarity, length, repetition and false urgency, with improved alternatives.

The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.

[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it.

Please review the subject lines and preview text of my emails. I will paste a table of [NUMBER_OF_EMAILS] recent sends: subject line, preview text, send date, audience, and open rate if I have it: [EMAIL_TABLE]. My audience is [AUDIENCE] and my brand voice is [BRAND_VOICE].

Create: 1) A table with the columns Subject, Preview text, Length in characters (count them), Issues (vague, clickbait, all caps, too many symbols, repeats the subject, cut off on mobile, spammy wording, promises something the email may not deliver) and Rewrite suggestions (two options each). 2) Counts: how many subjects exceed [SUBJECT_LIMIT] characters, how many preview texts just repeat the subject, and how many use urgency words. 3) If open rates were given, any pattern between style and rate, stated cautiously, since small samples prove little. 4) Five rules for my own subject line habits.

Rules: rewrite only from what the email is evidently about; do not invent offers, discounts or deadlines. Open rates are affected by email privacy features on many devices, so treat them as rough signals and mark conclusions drawn from them [VERIFY]. Keep rewrites honest; no fake urgency. Where I give no information about an email's content, ask instead of guessing.

Add a worked example with invented figures: for a subject line of 74 characters against a limit of 50, show the count and a tightened version.

Invented sample row
| Subject | Preview | Length | Issues | Rewrites |
| "Our BIGGEST autumn SALE ever!!! Don't miss out on savings" | "Our biggest autumn sale ever" | 58 | All caps, repeats in preview, stacked exclamation marks, vague "savings" | 1) "Autumn sale: 20% off boots until Sunday" 2) "Boots on sale this week, ends Sunday" |

Counts (20 emails): 9 over 50 characters (45%), 6 previews repeat the subject (30%), 7 use urgency words (35%).

Caution: only 20 sends, so any pattern with open rate is weak.

Illustrative only, made-up data. Your results will differ and must be reviewed.
