Campaign-level metrics such as click-through rate (CTR) and engagement rate reveal the effectiveness of ad creative and targeting, while post-click actions—like form submissions, purchases, or bookings—demonstrate the downstream impact on your business. For content-driven strategies, monitoring metrics like organic search rankings and time on page helps diagnose landing-page relevance and content quality.
