If you’re new to paid search advertising, or just onboarding new clients with your agency, figuring out how to measure success can be challenging. We all want to create ads that have high CTRs and chart-breaking conversion rates, but a good metric in one industry isn’t necessarily good in another—in fact, it can be difficult to know what a good CTR is in your own industry. Which numbers should you be looking to beat?
Our fantastic data scientist Mark Irvine has leveraged our huge data stores to establish AdWords performance benchmarks in four key metrics on both the Search and Display networks:
- Average Click-Through Rate (CTR)
- Average Cost per Click (CPC)
- Average Conversion Rate (CVR)
- Average Cost per Action (CPA)
Because every business is different, we’ve determined benchmarks for twenty different industries: Advocacy, Auto, B2B, Consumer Services, Dating & Personals, E-Commerce, Education, Employment Services, Finance & Insurance, Health & Medical, Home Goods, Industrial Services, Legal, Real Estate, Technology, and Travel & Hospitality.
How to Use the New Tools
To simplify your search for success, we have created a new set of free tools to accurately calculate how you measure up to the competition based on your current metrics, your network, and your industry. Simply input the metric you want to investigate, select your industry and network, and our free tool will quickly let you know how you measure up! (Big shout-out to our developer Drake McCabe who built the tools.)

What’s a Good Click-Through Rate in AdWords?
Your click-through rate (CTR) is the ratio of clicks to impressions on your AdWords ads. AdWords CTR is important because CTR is a major component of your Quality Score, which determines your cost per click.
