Benchmark Performance


Click-Through Rate (CTR):

CTR for streaming audio ads typically ranges from 0.0% (awareness appraoch) to 1.5% (click approach). However, this can vary based on factors such as the quality of the ad creative, target audiences, and campaign goal utilized.


Conversion Rate:

Conversion rates for streaming audio ads can range widely, but a good benchmark is between 2% to 5%. Factors influencing this metric include the clarity of the call-to-action, relevance to the audience, and the ease of conversion on the advertiser landing pages.


Completed Listen Rate:

This metric measures the percentage of users who listen to the entire ad without skipping. A completed listen rate of around 70% to 95% is considered good. Achieving high completed listen rates depends on engaging content, relevance to the listener, and target audience reached.


As the digital marketing realm continues to evolve, strategies like these pave the way for more effective and impactful advertising. Whether audio and podcast advertising is a new approach or you're an established brand, exploring the potential of goal-based podcast and streaming audio campaigns could be the game-changer you've been seeking for your Q1 marketing endeavors.
