CTR

What is CTR?
CTR (Click-Through Rate) on LinkedIn measures the percentage of people who clicked on a link in your post or ad compared to the total number of impressions or views it received. It’s calculated by dividing the number of clicks by the total impressions and multiplying by 100. A higher CTR indicates that content is compelling enough to drive traffic and encourage users to take action.

Where do I find CTR?
To find CTR (Click-Through Rate) on LinkedIn, go to your LinkedIn Page or Company Page and click Analytics → Updates. Here, you’ll see the CTR for each post or ad, which shows the percentage of people who clicked on your links relative to the impressions they received. This feature is available for Company Pages and LinkedIn Ads, but not personal profiles.
