What does CTR (Click-Through Rate) mean?

The percentage of people who click on an ad after seeing it.

Full definition

Formula: (Number of clicks / Number of impressions) x 100. A 2% CTR means that out of 100 times the ad was displayed, 2 people clicked.

Why is it important?

CTR is the immediate indicator of 'Creative' effectiveness (the visual and the hook). A good CTR indicates your message resonates with the target audience.

The Jour de Chance approach

"CTR is the most powerful optimization lever for algorithms (Google, Meta). An ad with a high CTR will be shown more often and for less money by platforms, as they favor engaging content. We frantically A/B test creatives to break through the CTR glass ceiling."
