According to a study conducted by Ignite Visibility, the top three positions are good rankings according to the CTR. We have highlighted this below:
Position one sees a CTR of 43.32%Position two sees a CTR of 37.36%Position 3 sees a CTR of 29.90%
While we often target the top three positions on a results page, we need to be ranking in these positions for the right keyword. It is pointless ranking in the top 3 for a set of keywords that do not target the right audience or search intent. Focus on the audience and search intent before rankings.
