Do not use one universal CTR benchmark
Expected CTR varies by position, query intent, brand demand, device, and search appearance. Compare like with like before estimating upside.
Use query, page, position, and comparable CTR evidence to find snippets worth improving.

A low CTR on a tiny sample is not a priority. Start with pages and queries that have enough impressions to support a practical decision.
A title rewrite is useful only when the page satisfies the query. Mismatched intent may require content changes or a different target page.
Record the change date, compare equivalent periods, and watch clicks, impressions, position, and CTR together so ranking movement is not mistaken for snippet impact.
