What is Click-through Rate?

Click-Through Rate (CTR) is a key metric in digital advertising that measures how often people click on an ad or product listing after viewing it. It’s calculated by dividing the number of clicks by the number of impressions and multiplying by 100.

Click-Through Rate (CTR) is a key metric in digital advertising that measures how often people click on an ad or product listing after viewing it. It’s calculated by dividing the number of clicks by the number of impressions and multiplying by 100. For instance, 5 clicks from 100 impressions yields a 5% CTR.

CTR serves as an indicator of an ad’s relevance and appeal to users. Each ad, listing, and keyword in your campaign has its own CTR, which you can monitor in your account. A high CTR suggests that users find your content helpful and pertinent to their needs.

This metric plays a crucial role in determining your ad’s performance, contributing to the expected CTR component of Ad Rank. However, what constitutes a “good” CTR can vary depending on your industry, advertising platform, and campaign type.

By analyzing CTR, you can identify which elements of your campaign are performing well and which need improvement. Aligning your keywords, ads, and listings closely with your business and each other increases the likelihood of users clicking on your content after searching for related terms.

CTR is an essential tool for optimizing your digital advertising strategy, helping you refine your approach to better engage your target audience.
