What is Clicks
In SEO, clicks represent the number of times users clicked on your website's listing in search results. It's a direct measure of how effective your titles and descriptions are at attracting visitors from search.
Example
Your page appeared 10,000 times in search results (impressions) and received 500 clicks = 5% CTR
How to apply it
Improve clicks by optimizing title tags for appeal, writing compelling meta descriptions, using structured data for rich snippets, and matching search intent.
Tip:Track clicks alongside position. If you rank #1 but have low clicks, your title/description needs work. If you rank #5 with high clicks, you're doing something right.
