Your ads can\u2019t generate conversions, if they don\u2019t get clicks<\/em>. It\u2019s a simple theory, but there\u2019s more to it than that. Many digital marketers still don\u2019t realize how much more.<\/p>\n

Measuring the clicks<\/em> performance of your ads has long been a key metric tracked by companies in online marketing, as it shows you just how much attention your ads are receiving. Moreover, it tells you how effective the ads are at enticing viewers to act.<\/p>\n

By monitoring your average CTR<\/em>, companies can reduce their wasted spend, thus getting a higher return on their marketing and advertising investments. This is particularly true whenever you have decent CTRs but low conversion rates<\/a>. It\u2019s no good to generate lots of clicks, if nobody converts at the end.<\/p>\n
