Your CTR
3.20%
Share of impressions that turned into a click.
Click-through rate measures what share of the people who were shown something went on to click it. It answers a single question: did what they saw match what they were looking for. That makes CTR primarily a statement about your title, your description and the expectation you set — and only secondarily about the product behind it.
It is a ratio, not a volume. A page at 3 percent on 100,000 impressions produces 3,000 clicks; a page at 12 percent on 500 impressions produces 60. Both figures are correct and only one of them pays bills. That is exactly why this calculator also converts the gap into clicks.
Click rate and click-through rate mean the same thing. CTR says nothing about what happens after the click, though: a sensational title reliably raises it and just as reliably damages everything downstream.
Almost every guide shows a table of industry averages here. Those tables mostly come from studies that are now several years old, and they mix countries, languages and ad formats. The benchmark that holds up is your own: the same channel, the same period a year earlier, or the average across your other pages. Here is where to read it.
Measures the step from impression to click. It judges title, description and position — everything someone sees before they reach your page.
Measures the step from click to completed action. A page can have an excellent click-through rate and still sell nothing — which is why the two belong side by side.
A good CTR is one above your last. There is no universal target, because click-through rate depends on channel, position, search intent and brand recognition. Four things move it reliably: your position in the results, how familiar your name looks there, how closely the title picks up the query, and how much space above you is already taken. That last point has shifted the most recently — AI overviews and question blocks push the first organic result further down.
Our managed SEO and GEO service covers both ways people search today: the classic results page and the answer an AI gives. You get the specific places — titles, descriptions, structure, citability — in the order in which fixing them pays, and we do the fixing. The first conversation is free.
Divide clicks by impressions and multiply by 100. With 400 clicks on 12,500 impressions the CTR is 3.2 percent.
CTR = clicks ÷ impressions × 100. Both numbers must come from the same source and the same date range, otherwise the result is meaningless.
Yes. Click rate is another name for click-through rate, abbreviated CTR. The calculation is identical.
There is no universal target. A good CTR sits above your previous one at a comparable position in the same channel. Rates differ sharply between organic search, paid ads and email.
Usually the position moved, or the results page itself did. When an AI overview, a question block or an extra ad appears above you, your result slides down without you losing rank.
For organic Google search, in Search Console under “Performance”, broken down by query and by page. For ads, in the relevant ad account; for email, in your sending tool’s campaign report.
Position is the strongest single factor in organic search. The same page at position 3 and position 8 has two entirely different click-through rates with no change to the title. Compare only within similar positions.
No. A title that promises more than the page delivers raises the rate and raises bounce along with it. Always read CTR together with what happens after the click.
CTR measures the step from impression to click; conversion rate measures the step from click to completed action. A page can have an excellent click-through rate and still sell nothing.
Multiply your impressions by the target CTR and divide by 100. At 12,500 impressions and a 4 percent target that is 500 clicks. The calculator shows this figure directly.
