−Ahrefs estimates that the top result in Google receives approximately 27.6% of all clicks
+Backlinko's analysis estimates that the top result in Google receives approximately 27.6% of all clicks
Why this is better
Corrected misattribution of the 27.6% top-result CTR figure from Ahrefs to Backlinko (the actual source study). Verified present in body text. The article separately and correctly cites an unrelated Ahrefs study (91% of pages receive zero organic traffic) elsewhere in the body, which is a distinct, accurate claim. No bibliography or FAQ mentions of the 27.6% figure existed.
