CTR
CTR, or Click-Through Rate, is a key metric in digital marketing that measures the percentage of users who click on a specific link or advertisement out of the total number of viewers. It helps assess the effectiveness of online campaigns, ads, and content in driving user engagement and traffic.
What is CTR?
Click-Through Rate (CTR) quantifies how effectively your digital assets convert impressions into engagement. Calculated as clicks divided by impressions, then multiplied by 100, CTR reveals whether headlines, creative, and placements resonate with target buyers and drive traffic to conversion paths. For B2B teams, benchmarking CTR across campaigns, channels, and audiences informs optimization decisions, from refining value propositions to reallocating media spend. Elevated CTR typically indicates message-market fit, strong relevance, and compelling calls to action; suppressed CTR flags friction in targeting, offer clarity, or user experience. Track CTR alongside CPC, CVR, and pipeline impact to ensure performance aligns with revenue objectives.
Example
If you run an online ad shown to 1,000 people and 50 of them click on it, your CTR is (50 ÷ 1,000) × 100 = 5%. This means 5% of viewers engaged with your ad by clicking it.
