What is CTR ?

The percentage of impressions that lead to a click, calculated as clicks divided by impressions, multiplied by 100.

The meaning

CTR in plain language

CTR helps explain whether people choose your listing or ad after seeing it. Compare similar queries, formats and placements; a strong click rate does not by itself establish lead quality.

A practical example

How it works in practice

An ad receives 50 clicks from 2,000 impressions. Its CTR is 2.5%.
