Short answer
Click-through rate (CTR) is the number of clicks an ad, link or email receives divided by the number of times it was shown, expressed as a percentage. It indicates how relevant and compelling content is to its audience. CTR also influences ad platform quality scores and costs, though it does not measure conversions.
