The organic click-through rate (Organic CTR) refers to the ratio between the number of users who click on a non-paid (organic) search result and the total number of users who viewed that result (impressions). It is a key performance indicator in the field of search engine optimization (SEO), as it reflects how effective a search result (e.g., page title and meta description) is at attracting clicks from organic search listings.
A high organic CTR typically indicates that the content appears relevant to users and that its presentation in search results is compelling.
