1. What is Average CTR?

Average CTR (Click-Through Rate) is a metric that measures the average percentage of people who clicked on your ads or links across multiple campaigns. It helps evaluate the overall effectiveness of your marketing efforts.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Average CTR formula:

Where:

• Sum CTR — Total of all individual campaign CTRs (in decimal form)
• Number Campaigns — Count of all campaigns included in the calculation

Explanation: The equation calculates the mean CTR value across all your campaigns to give you an overall performance metric.

3. Importance of Average CTR

Q5: How often should I check average CTR?
A: Regular monitoring (weekly/monthly) helps track performance trends, but avoid over-analyzing short-term fluctuations.
