What is CTR in marketing?

Click-Through Rate measures how often people click on a digital asset, such as an ad, email, or link, after viewing it. It reflects how engaging or relevant your content is.

Why is CTR important?

CTR helps marketers evaluate how well their campaigns attract user attention. It directly affects ad performance, cost-efficiency, and overall marketing success.

How do I calculate CTR?

Divide the number of clicks by the number of impressions, then multiply by 100. For example, 200 clicks from 10,000 impressions equals a 2% CTR.

What is considered a high CTR?

A “high” CTR depends on context. Search ads typically see higher rates than display ads. The goal should always be improving your CTR relative to past campaigns.

Does a high CTR always mean success?

Not necessarily. A high CTR without conversions might mean your ad is engaging but misaligned with user intent. Always evaluate CTR alongside conversion metrics.

How can I increase my CTR quickly?

Start with better audience targeting, clearer copy, and more appealing visuals. Test small changes frequently and use analytics to refine your campaigns over time.
