Frequently asked questions
How accurate are the CTR benchmarks used in this calculator?
The benchmarks are based on aggregated data across millions of search results. Your actual CTR will vary depending on your industry, search intent, SERP features, and how compelling your title tag and meta description are.
What is a striking distance keyword?
A striking distance keyword is one where your page ranks between positions 5 and 15 in Google. These keywords are close enough to page 1 that small optimizations can push them up and significantly increase your traffic.
How do I find my current position and impressions?
You can find this data in Google Search Console under the Performance report. Filter by a specific query to see its average position, impressions, clicks, and CTR.
Why does position 1 get so many more clicks than position 5?
Studies show position 1 gets roughly 28% of all clicks, while position 5 gets about 6.5%. Most users click one of the top 3 results. Moving from position 5 to position 1 can increase your clicks by 4x or more.
Can I use this calculator for YouTube or Amazon rankings?
This calculator uses Google Search CTR benchmarks specifically. YouTube and Amazon have different click-through rate distributions, so the projections would not be accurate for those platforms.
