5% CTR in Google Search is good?

You need to improve your maths:
1% of 1 million is 10,000 - which is normal - 5% is GREAT.

5% CTR is very good yes. Your friends site sounds very low, perhaps he's ranking below top #3 as people don't click as often on lower ranking results on page one. Could also be that his titles are not as relevant for the search term. Seeing as you have average position above 20 I'd say 5% CTR is very impressive even. If the image is your site that is, mil is thousand right?

I saw some friends publishing that had millions of impressions but with few clicks, around 1% CTR.
In other words, 1 million impressions for 1k clicks.

My biggest focus is low competition keyword research that has a lot of engagement, a lot of clicks.

In the end, what counts is not the ego of saying that it had millions of impressions, it is saying that it had a lot of clicks, technically more clicks lead to more conversions.

So, comparing more impressions and fewer clicks vs. more clicks and fewer impressions, which do you believe is worth more money in your pocket in the end?

Logically, there can be more conversion in fewer clicks than more clicks, however, statistically, more clicks tend to result in more sales (but that's not a rule!).

Data from a basic website I created last month. 35 thousand impressions and 1,700 clicks. Are on the right path?
