Analytics

Click-through rate (CTR)

The share of people who saw a link and clicked it.

Click-through rate is the percentage of people who clicked a link out of everyone who saw it. On social, that is usually link clicks divided by impressions or reach.

Why it matters

CTR tells you whether a post moved people to act, not just to look. It is the bridge between attention on social and visits to your site, shop or booking page.

Improving CTR

Make the next step obvious and worth it: one clear call to action, a specific promise ("see this week's menu" beats "learn more") and a destination that matches the post. Tag links with UTM parameters so the clicks show up correctly in your website analytics.
