Hi,

Three weeks ago we launched CTRTool. It searches your keyword in a real browser the way a person would, on a desktop or a real Android phone, finds your page in Google, Bing, Google Maps or an AI Overview, clicks it and browses your site. Every visit is saved with a screenshot of the search and of your page loading.

Since 27 October it has run 7,080 searches and completed 4,672 visits across 10 countries and 56 cities, and daily volume roughly tripled last week, from about 210 visits a day to nearly 700. I went through the data this weekend. Here is what we learned.

CTRTool findings: 7,080 real searches, 4,672 visits, Google's new goto links, position gains on Google Search, Maps, Bing and AI Overviews, mobile

1. Google changed how it records clicks, and we were ready for it.
On desktop, Google no longer links its results straight to the website. In every desktop Google search we ran (1,203 of 1,203), each result pointed to an encrypted google.com/goto address that forwards to the site. That redirect is where Google sees which result was clicked. A tool that opens your site directly, with Google set as the referrer, skips it. And because the address is encrypted, tools that read result links can no longer tell which site is behind them. CTRTool was built for this from the first day: it reads the address the searcher sees under each title, then clicks through Google's own redirect, exactly like a person. AI Overview source links use the same redirect, and CTRTool reads each source card's real address before it clicks.

Two other Google changes did not affect us either. Google has required JavaScript for search since January 2025, and CTRTool runs real browsers. It stopped showing 100 results on one page in September 2025, and CTRTool moves through the results ten at a time with Google's own "Next" link, like a person.

2. Pages moved up on all four kinds of campaign.
We tracked each keyword's position over time, counting only keywords with enough recorded positions over several days:

3. Mobile is now most of it.
57% of all visits now run on real Android phones. That matters, because phones and desktops see different results: of 75 keyword-and-page pairs we ran on both, the page sat at a different position on the phone in 42.

4. These are full visits.
The average visit stayed over three minutes and looked at about four pages, and 98% of searches ran without a technical error. 895 visits went through Google Maps: search the term, find the business listing, click through to its website. Most of them (813) were set to a specific city.

5. Our first customers are scaling up.
Two of them upgraded within their first two weeks, one of them twice.

Not every page moves, and nobody can promise you a ranking. CTR works best on pages that already show up and deserve the click.

If you want to try it on one of your own pages, CTRTool starts at $59 a month for 2,000 credits (up to 1,000 desktop or 500 mobile visits): autoblogging.ai/ctrtool
