Cold Email Copy Analyzer
Analyze your cold email structure for maximum reply rates. This tool checks 14 different factors including word count, reading level, personalization depth, CTA placement, and I-vs-you ratio — so your email is structured to get replies, not ignored.
What We Analyze
- Word Count — Optimal cold emails are 25-75 words. Emails under 50 words get the highest reply rates (Lavender, 450M emails).
- Reading Level — Flesch-Kincaid grade level. Emails written at a 3rd-5th grade level get 36% more replies (Boomerang).
- Paragraph Structure — 2-3 short paragraphs max. Wall-of-text emails get deleted immediately.
- Personalization Depth — Merge tags like {{first_name}} and {{company}} signal the email isn't mass blasted.
- Question Count — 1-3 questions drive engagement. Zero questions = no reason to reply.
- CTA Analysis — One clear CTA, in the last paragraph. Multiple CTAs confuse the reader.
- Link Count — 0 links is ideal for cold email. Every link increases spam risk and tracking concerns.
- I vs You Ratio — Your email should be about the prospect, not about you. More "you" than "I".
- Opening Line — Flags bad openers like "I'm reaching out" or "My name is" that waste the critical first sentence.
- Filler Words — Detects hedge words like "just", "actually", "basically" that weaken your copy.
- Signature Weight — Cold email signatures should be minimal. Heavy signatures with images and links hurt deliverability.
Cold Email Structure Best Practices
- Keep emails under 75 words — shorter emails get more replies
- Write at a 5th grade reading level or below
- Start with the prospect, not yourself — never open with "I"
- One CTA, one question, one ask — keep it focused
- Zero links in the first email — add links in follow-ups if needed
- 2-3 short paragraphs max — make it scannable
- Use merge tags for personalization — {{first_name}} and {{company}} at minimum
