Click-through rate, or CTR, is the ratio of total clicks to total impressions. It shows how many users who see a link on a search results page go on to visit it. A high CTR can indicate that users find the title and description interesting. Appearing on the first page alone may not be enough, so titles and descriptions should attract attention. Like many other metrics, CTR can be viewed in Search Console.
