Low Click-Through Rate (CTR)
Your pages rank well but earn fewer clicks than expected for their position.
What it is
CTR is the share of users who click your result after seeing it in Search. When your average position is strong (top 5) but CTR sits below the expected curve for that position, you are leaving clicks on the table every month.
Why it matters
Every missed click is a lost visitor and customer. Google also uses engagement signals to judge quality — chronically low CTR can slowly erode rankings as more-clicked competitors overtake you.
How to fix it
Rewrite titles to front-load the primary keyword plus a modifier (year, "guide", numbers). Make meta descriptions actionable under 155 characters. Add FAQ or HowTo schema to earn rich results. Re-export Search Console after 2-3 weeks to measure the lift.
What our AI checks
Our engine compares your actual CTR to the expected CTR for each keyword at its position, quantifies lost clicks per month, and generates ready-to-use title variations for the worst offenders.
