Short answer

Click-to-install rate is the percentage of ad clicks or app store page visitors that result in an app install. It is calculated by dividing installs by clicks. The metric shows how well ads, targeting, and store listings work together, and an unusually low or high rate can also signal fraud or tracking problems.
