Are your ads actually working? It’s a simple question, but many businesses struggle to answer it. That’s where Click-Through Rate (CTR) comes in – it’s your crystal ball for ad performance.
What is CTR? (It’s Simpler Than You Think)
Think of CTR as a scorecard for your ads. It shows how many people click after seeing your ad. The math is easy:
- If 100 people see your ad and 5 click the call-to-action button, that’s a 5% CTR
- Higher CTR = more people interested in your message
- Lower CTR = something’s not connecting with your audience
