What is CTR?

Click-through Rate

CTR (click-through rate) is the percentage of people shown an ad who clicked on it.

FormulaCTR = clicks ÷ impressions

CTR is the first sign of whether the creative and the message catch attention. A high CTR does not mean sales on its own; what the person who clicked does on the page is measured separately.

  • If there are no impressions, CTR is not calculated.
  • The creative fatigue alert uses the drop in CTR (see creative fatigue).

How the engine uses this metric from ad production to publishing is on the how it works page; credits and plans are on the pricing page.
