Linguix was recently given the prestigious distinction of being named a top-rated grammar checker software by none other than Digital.com, one of the world’s most popular review sites.

The announcement confirms that real users who submit their reviews to Digial.com are impressed by the not only the array of services offered by Linguix, but the intuitive nature of its software.

Linguix is a writing assistant that is so much more than a simple spelling and grammar checker. As well as offering hundreds of thousands of possible corrections to a wide variety of typical written mistakes – and applicable anywhere on the web that you may write – Linguix has a host of additional services that help individual writers and companies elevate the quality of their written words to another level. 

As Digital.com itself declares, “Our grammar check software reviews are the result of over 40 hours of research on 30+ grammar check software companies from across the web. These reviews and our grammar check software guide help small businesses and startups find the best grammar check software for their business”.

Linguix has already had the distinction of being featured by the likes of Business Insider, Product Hunt and Hackernoon, so this latest announcement is further confirmation that the software is making a difference to those individuals and companies who rely on grammar checking software to enhance the quality of their written work.

As well as the powerful grammar checker tool that has been developed by professional linguists, Linguix has an array of additional services which add value to the types of everyday tasks that have a real impact on work. Linguix templates provide useful written texts that can be adapted to save time when developing a huge variety of essential written pieces of work, from sales and marketing emails to press releases and blog posts. 

The Lingix snippets feature then allows team members to allocate shortcodes to pieces of text that are commonly used across teams so colleagues can enter essential text at the mere click of a mouse, saving time and money for the organization and maintaining consistency in communication and professionalism that is essential to any business.

And that’s not all. Linguix also offers dictionary and synonyms tools which allow for users to select the right word at the right time. And then a comprehensive stock of writing statistics including Flesch-Kincaid readability scores allows teams and entire companies to keep track of the quality of the written word across all written company activities and even use these insights to hire more efficiently and suitably. 

It is this level of service that has seen Linguix identified as a top-rated grammar checker by Digital.com. But then there’s the vital question of integration too, as Digital.com states:

“Built-in integrations with commonly used word processors and content management systems save users from the extra step of needing to manually copy and paste their content into the software. We looked for grammar check software that integrated with popular word processors like Microsoft Word, content management systems like WordPress, social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter, and email programs like Outlook and Gmail.”

The Linguix extension for Chrome, Firefox or Edge allows the software’s capabilities to be utilized wherever needed on the web. As well as that, integrations with a host of other business tools such as Frase, Slack, Asana, Hubspot, and many more. As the article states, it’s these capabilities and integrations that have made Linguix one of the best grammar checker software tools available.

Also, Linguix was mentioned as a top grammar checker by www.SoftwareWorld.com website:

A headline is the first thing that the reader sees and it is what determines whether your audience wants to continue reading or move on to a more “interesting” story. Thus, a headline should be catchy, attractive and informative. There are three rules to writing such titles.

Numbers

There is a lot of controversy among writers over the use of numbers in headlines. Opponents argue that everyone is fed up with articles like “7 ways to save money on flight tickets” and “10 tips to increase your conversion rates”. Others insist that lists are disrespectful to readers, implying that they are unable to comprehend more complex content and need everything to be broken down into separate points.

Proponents of this technique, on the other hand, argue that headlines with numbers get more readers. Research shows that users tend to click on headlines with numbers more frequently. Furthermore, the “listicle” style is a reliable way to structure content right from the beginning. A user knows what to expect: if they are promised “7 ways to lose weight by summer”, they know there will be exactly seven ideas in the article. It also allows the writer to get straight to the point and filter out irrelevant details.

Quotes

If you have a key speaker with something important to say, you can use this in the headline, It’s crucial that the quote reflects what the article is really about, rather than just baiting readers.

Using quotes as clickbait is a widespread practice in digital media today, which is reliant on advertising revenue from free content that attracts traffic to the website contrary to, say, paid subscription news. It is important to exercise caution when using this method for business-related content.

How-to

Titles inferring a step-by-step guide are the most common method when crafting business headlines today, like “How to build a spaceship with LEGO”. The advantages are obvious: readers immediately get what the article is going to be about. At the same time, handy articles explaining how to do something or simplifying complex or current topics are always very popular with users.

Don’t stop at the headline

A well-chosen headline fixes several problems at once: it attracts attention, establishes a clear-cut structure and shapes user perception of the content. This is why numbers, quotes, and how-to headlines are the most approachable techniques for businesses trying to attract readers.

Don’t feel you need to limit yourself to these three approaches. Countless readers are still ready to spend time on an article with a headline that is, at first sight, far from “viral”.

It is essential that the article is of excellent quality, even if the headline is crafted for more discerning readers. Content shouldn’t focus on selling something mediocre with a good headline and attractive illustrations.

Rather, look at these elements like the “cherry on the cake” of an insightful and well-crafted article, which remains the main component for success. Remember that readers are smart, you can bring them to water with a good headline but you will only get them to drink with captivating content.
