What is CTR?
Click-through rate — the percentage of people who see an ad and click on it. It is a key indicator of how compelling the ad creative and offer are. While podcast-style ads may have a slightly lower CTR than flashy short-form clips, the clicks they do generate tend to convert at a significantly higher rate.
