Measure
Click-through rate
You might say: CTR, impressions CTR
The share of impressions that became views. YouTube says half of all channels and videos have an impressions CTR between 2% and 10%.
- What it does
- Scores the packaging against everything else on the viewer’s screen.
- Ask
- Is CTR low everywhere, or only in one traffic source?
- Typical
- 2–10% for half of channels (YouTube); falls as a video reaches broader audiences
- Trouble
- Low CTR from browse features while search CTR is fine: the package does not sell to casual viewers.
What to look for
- Impressions and views compared as a share
- Low browse CTR beside fine search CTR
