CTR

Definition

Click-Through Rate -- the percentage of people who click on a link, ad, or call-to-action out of the total number who view it.

CTR is calculated by dividing clicks by impressions and multiplying by 100. It is a key performance metric for email campaigns, paid ads, organic search listings, and CTAs on web pages. Higher CTRs generally indicate more compelling messaging and better audience targeting. Benchmark CTRs vary widely by channel -- email CTRs typically range from 2-5%, while paid search can be 3-10% depending on industry.
