Click Through Rate

Click through rate, or CTR, measures the percentage of people who clicked after seeing a post, ad, or link.

CTR is usually calculated by dividing clicks by impressions, then multiplying by 100.

A higher CTR often means the creative, offer, caption, or call to action was relevant to the audience.

CTR should be compared against the audience and placement because a low-intent awareness post and a direct-response ad will naturally behave differently.
