Click-Through Rate (CTR)
Definition:
CTR is the percentage of ad impressions that result in a user click. It indicates how effective an ad is at driving engagement.
Formula:
CTR = (Total Clicks / Total Impressions) × 100
Why it matters:
A higher CTR usually suggests that an ad is relevant and well-matched to its audience. Low CTR can reduce ad rank and increase CPC.
Best practices:
-
Use clear, action-oriented CTAs
-
Match creatives to keyword and audience intent
-
Test variations to optimize for engagement
