CTR

A click is a relevance signal, not an end goal.

CTR Helps see if results invite follow-up action, but should be read along with conversion and reformulations.

Position

Compare CTR by result position.

Query type

SKU-, Brand and wide category queries have different expectations.

Device

Mobile presentation affects click behavior.

Guardrail

Clicking more without better next steps can indicate deception or noise.
