The average CTR across all industries is only <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wordstream.com\/average-ctr\">slightly under 2%<\/a>. Any lower than that, or especially if you\u2019re under 1%, definitely gives you a reason to be worried: that\u2019s as critically low as it gets. That is why today we will share with you this infographic, made by Larry Kim of <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/customers.ai\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Customers.ai<\/a> and Brian Dean of Backlinko. When these big names share their experience in how to improve click-through rates, you know you can trust them.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the important takeaways:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webceo.com\/web-analytics-reporter.htm?&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_mediu=blog-post&amp;utm_campaign=blog-nov-2017-11-proven-tactics-increase-click-through-rate-infographic\">Google Search Console<\/a> to identify pages with the lowest CTR. They&#8217;ll be the ones to reward you the most when their CTR increases.<\/li>\n<li>Emotional, &#8220;power&#8221; words in titles and descriptions attract users much better than dry, keyword-heavy phrases.<\/li>\n<li>Write headlines from the perspective of someone relatable: a friend, a bearer of news, a comedian. Do you have your own favorite persona?<\/li>\n<li>Use this recipe for your articles&#8217; titles: <strong>a number, the format, an emotional hook, the content type and your subject<\/strong>. Look no further than this post&#8217;s title for an example.<\/li>\n<li>Facebook posts which receive a lot of clicks are a great source of title ideas.<\/li>\n<li>Try out many different variations of the abovementioned format. And make them <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">actually<\/span> different, in more than just a single word.<\/li>\n<li>Make your URLs readable and descriptive instead of random strings of symbols.<\/li>\n<li>Keep an eye on ad previews in Google AdWords to see what your PPC ads will look like.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wordstream.com\/blog\/ws\/2016\/05\/10\/google-ctr\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5021\" src=\"https:\/\/www.webceo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/how-to-increase-click-through-rate.jpg\" alt=\"How to Increase Click-Through Rate: Infographic\" width=\"639\" height=\"12471\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is considered a good click-through rate, exactly?
