What is CTR?
Click-through rate tells you how many real people were interested enough to click after seeing you. It is the quickest health check for any ad, email, thumbnail, or search result - and the fastest way to know if your message is landing.

Industry CTR Benchmarks
CTR swings by channel, intent, and creative quality. Use these live averages as a compass, not a ceiling. If you are above them, double down. If you are below, fix the promise in your headline or the audience you are targeting.
| Platform | Avg | Good |
|---|---|---|
| Google Search Ads | 3.17% | 5%+ |
| Google Display Ads | 0.46% | 1%+ |
| Facebook Ads | 0.90% | 2%+ |
| Email Marketing | 2.62% | 4%+ |
| YouTube Thumbnails | 4-5% | 10%+ |
| Organic Search (SEO) | 1.91% | 3%+ |
Benchmarks give context, not judgment. Compare against your own historical CTR first, then use these numbers to spot if you are wildly off.

💡 Pro tip: high-intent searches ("buy running shoes size 9") can see double the CTR of broad terms ("best running shoes"). B2B ads often look low at 1-2% but still win because each click is high-value.
Types of CTR You Should Track
Each surface tells you something different - watch them together to see the whole story of your funnel.
Email CTR
Measures how many email recipients clicked on links within your email. It reflects subject line clarity, list health, and whether your offer earns another tap instead of a swipe away.
Ad CTR
Tracks clicks on paid advertisements across platforms like Google, Facebook, and LinkedIn. Higher ad CTR often leads to lower CPC and stronger Quality Score, keeping budgets from leaking.
Organic CTR
Shows how often people click your website in search results. Improving titles and meta descriptions to boost organic CTR can lift rankings over time because search engines see stronger engagement.
YouTube CTR
Measures thumbnail effectiveness - how often viewers click your video after seeing it. A key factor in YouTube's recommendation system and in growing watch time without raising spend.
