What Do These Results Mean?
Click-Through Rate (CTR)
The percentage of impressions that resulted in a click.
Total Impressions
The total number of times your advertisement, link or content was displayed.
Total Clicks
The total number of clicks received.
CTR Meaning
If your CTR is 2.50%, it means that 2.5 out of every 100 impressions resulted in a click.
Example Calculation
See how Click-Through Rate is calculated using a simple advertising campaign example.
Example:
Suppose an advertisement receives 100,000 impressions and generates 2,500 clicks.
Total Impressions: 100,000
Total Clicks: 2,500
Click-Through Rate (CTR): 2.50%
Explanation
The 2,500 clicks are divided by the 100,000 impressions and then multiplied by 100 to convert the result into a percentage.
This means 2.50% of the advertisement's impressions resulted in a click.
CTR Formula
Click-Through Rate (CTR) measures the percentage of impressions that resulted in a click on your advertisement, link or content.
CTR Formula
CTR = (Total Clicks ÷ Total Impressions) × 100
Using our example:
(2,500 ÷ 100,000) × 100 = 2.50%
Therefore:
CTR = 2.50%
This means 2.50% of the total impressions resulted in a click.
Important: A higher CTR can indicate that an advertisement is attracting attention and encouraging clicks, but CTR alone does not determine campaign success. Conversion rate, CPC, cost per lead and ROAS should also be considered when evaluating overall performance.
