Do you want a higher or lower impressions CTR?
That depends: Video or Channel level CTR averages should be compared with other data.
Higher is better because that means viewers watch the videos longer.
Lower is better because that means there are a lot of impressions.
Neither: It’s best to have the same CTR for all videos.
What could you look at if you see some of your videos have fewer impressions than you’d expect?
Make sure you’re comparing performance of similar videos using the same time range, for instance for the first 7 days after upload, as traffic sources and number of impressions will change after uploading.
Check if the videos differ in style from usual uploads and appeal to similar-sized audiences.
Check if your videos are align with our community guidelines.
