Titles usually make the biggest difference for CTR. Try using clearer and more curiosity driven titles with numbers benefits or updated years like 2026. Meta descriptions also help by giving users a strong reason to click.

Rich snippets can boost CTR too especially FAQs ratings and how to schema.

Also check what competitors ranking above you are doing differently in their titles snippets.
 
This is pretty common now impressions without clicks usually means Google understands your page, but the result isn’t compelling enough compared to competitors on the SERP.
 
If your pages are getting impressions but few clicks, improving titles and meta descriptions can make a big difference. Try using clearer headlines, emotional words, numbers, or questions that match search intent. Rich snippets, schema markup, and better page positioning also help attract more organic clicks from Google search results.
 
Your page titles play the biggest role in improving CTR, so make them more attractive and relevant to what users are searching for. Adding numbers, strong keywords, clear benefits, or current-year terms can help increase clicks naturally. Well written meta descriptions also make a difference by giving users a better reason to visit your page. Rich snippets like FAQs, ratings, and schema markup can further improve visibility in search results.
 
CTR mostly improves with better titles first clear intent + strong hook.
Meta helps, but rich snippets + structured data usually give the biggest boost long term.

Focus first on stronger titles with clear benefits, numbers, or curiosity because titles impact CTR the most.
Then improve meta descriptions and add schema/rich snippets to make your result stand out more in Google search.
 
Optimize page titles with hooks and years and match user search intents.
 
Improve CTR by rewriting title tags to match intent, add numbers or hooks, write better meta descriptions, and use schema for rich snippets.
 
Focus mainly on titles first make them clear, benefit driven with keywords. Then improve meta description for curiosity clarity. Rich snippets help too, but CTR usually changes most from better titles.
 
In my experience, the title matters the most. Write a clear title that tells people exactly what they will get. If the title is interesting, more people will click.
 
Start by fixing titles and descriptions, as these have the most influence on CTRs. Titles must be clear and indicate benefits; use hooks and numbers, along with other elements that fit search intent. Also, rich snippets and new dates may attract more natural clicks.
 
Focus first on stronger titles (clear benefit + curiosity + primary keyword), then improve meta descriptions with a compelling CTA, and add structured data for rich snippets; matching search intent and making your result look more relevant than competitors usually boosts CTR the fastest.
 
one thing that helped me was matching search intent better in the title. sometimes ranking is fine but the titles does not fully answer what users are looking for, so they skip it.
 
Definitely focus on crafting compelling titles and meta descriptions that accurately reflect your content and entice clicks, while also exploring rich snippets to make your results stand out visually. Consider A/B testing different variations to see what works best for your audience
 
I’d also add that matching search intent is equally important. Even a well-written title won’t improve CTR much if it doesn’t align with what users are actually looking for. Sometimes small tweaks like adding “best,” “guide,” “vs,” or “step-by-step” can make a noticeable difference in clicks.
 
The title still has the strongest impact on CTR. If you have high impressions but few clicks, it's possible your headline isn't quite at the right intent or hasn't created enough curiosity to attract customers. Meta tags and rich snippets only provide additional support.
