How to Boost Your CTR

A low CTR usually means your ad isn't resonating. Try these tactics to get more clicks:

Write Compelling Headlines: Use power words, numbers, and emotional triggers. Your headline is 80% of your ad's success.
Strong Call-to-Action (CTA): Don't just say "Learn More." Use action-oriented verbs like "Get Your Free Quote," "Start Saving Today," or "Download Now."
A/B Testing: Never rely on one ad version. Test different images, headlines, and descriptions to see what your audience prefers.
