Meta CTR = ( Meta Clicks ÷ Meta Impressions ) × 100

Example
Your summer campaign ad set delivered 125,000 impressions and received 2,875 clicks in June.
| Ad Set | Impressions | Clicks | CTR |
|---|
| Summer Promo A | 75,000 | 1,950 | 2.60% |
| Summer Promo B | 50,000 | 925 | 1.85% |
| Total | 125,000 | 2,875 | 2.30% |
How It Works
CTR is calculated by dividing total clicks by total impressions, then multiplying by 100 to express as a percentage. A higher CTR indicates your ad creative and targeting resonate with your audience, while a low CTR suggests your messaging or visuals may need refinement.
