How it works

The formula

Click-through rate is the share of impressions that ended in a click: 1,500 clicks from 50,000 impressions is 3%.

CTR = clicks ÷ impressions × 100

Comparing with the channel

The result is set against a published average for the channel you pick. Within 10% of that average either way counts as about average; beyond it, above or below.

Averages differ a lot by industry, audience, ad position and season, so read the comparison as a rough mark, not a target.
