What is CTR?

    On Amazon, CTR helps sellers and advertisers measure the effectiveness of their ad creatives, targeting, and product relevance. A high CTR generally means your ad is resonating well with the audience.

    Where CTR is used:

    • Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, and Sponsored Display campaigns
    • Brand storefronts and custom landing pages
    • A/B testing for creatives or headlines

    Why CTR matters:

    • Indicates how relevant your product is for the keyword or audience
    • Affects ad quality score and auction competitiveness
    • Helps optimize campaigns by identifying strong or weak performers
    💡 Example: If your ad was shown 10,000 times (impressions) and received 200 clicks, your CTR is 2%.

    In short:
    CTR = Click-through Rate - the percentage of people who click your Amazon ad after seeing it. It’s a critical performance metric for evaluating ad effectiveness.
