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.
