How to use this calculator

  • Enter impressions from your Google Ads campaign.
  • Enter clicks generated by those impressions.

What the result means

CTR shows the percentage of impressions that become clicks. It is a strong signal of ad relevance, headline strength, and keyword-audience fit.

CTR = (Clicks ÷ Impressions) × 100

High CTR is not always profitable. Check conversion rate and CPA to make sure clicks are valuable.

Example calculation

If an ad receives 350 clicks from 5,000 impressions, CTR is 7.00%.

Tips for better results

  • Rewrite headlines around search intent.
  • Use stronger calls to action.
  • Align ad copy with the keyword and landing page.
  • Test offers, extensions, and responsive search ad assets.
