\n \"What <\/div>\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”38px”][vc_column_text]A click-through-rate (or CTR, for short), is a measure that represents a percentage of clicks divided by the number of impressions<\/strong> \u2013 or how many times people see your call to action (CTA), your page link in organic results, your PPC ad<\/strong>, and so on. Aside from SERPs and PPC ads, a click-through-rate is a highly important metric in email marketing<\/strong> as well. In that case, it shows the percentage of your total email engagement by dividing the number of people that clicked on your email by the number of emails sent.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”28px”][vc_column_text]Now, when it comes to the click-through rate of your organic search results (which is what we will focus on in this article), it\u2019s important to mention right away that high search engine rankings don\u2019t necessarily guarantee you more clicks. This means that you can rank as high as the first page on Google and still have a relatively low CTR.
\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”28px”][vc_column_text]That being said, your CTR itself can (and does) influence your search engine ranking<\/strong>. Even if you succeed in achieving a higher ranking and don\u2019t earn enough clicks, sooner or later Google will take notice of this and downgrade your ranking accordingly. And vice versa \u2013 the more people click on your site, the more it indicates to search engines that your content is valuable, which can only improve your ranking and make it sustainable in the long run.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”28px”][vc_column_text]Your rankings aside, CTRs are also extremely important for the success of your business. When you think about it, this is fairly logical \u2013 if many people end up clicking on your page, you get more chances of generating more leads and, eventually, scoring more sales<\/strong>. And if you ask us, this is more than enough reason to invest all your efforts into improving your website\u2019s CTR.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”28px”][vc_column_text]We\u2019ve decided to help you out by listing some of the best tactics to earn an organic click-through rate of your WordPress site<\/strong> and increase the chances of people clicking your page in SERPs. It\u2019s important to mention, however, that some other types of CTR (like your ad campaign or email CTR) will require different methods due to differences in user behavior and the influence of various parameters. That being said, most of these strategies can be used for boosting the organic CTR of any website, regardless of the platform, so make sure to read on:[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”22px”]
