Questions and answers

GSC CTR benchmark & click-recovery questions

How does the GSC CTR Benchmark & Click-Loss Calculator work?

It compares the observed click-through rate (CTR) of each query or page in your Google Search Console export against mathematical position benchmark curves (Positions 1–20) and calculates how many extra monthly clicks you would capture by bringing underperforming snippets up to benchmark.

Why are there 3 different CTR benchmark curves?

Organic CTR varies by SERP layout. Standard informational SERPs follow a classic curve (~27.6% at Position #1), SERPs with Google AI Overviews experience compressed click rates (~19.5% at Position #1), and interactive tool queries often earn higher top-3 click share.

Which pages should I prioritize for title tag testing?

Prioritize pages already ranking in Positions #1 through #6 with high impressions but severe CTR deficits. Because these pages already rank on Page 1, improving their title hook produces immediate traffic gains without waiting for new backlinks.

What files can I download?
