Metrics

Impressions

The number of times your content or ad is displayed.

Definition

An impression is counted each time your ad or post appears on someone's screen, whether or not they interact. Impressions measure exposure, not unique people (that's reach).

Example

An ad that appears 15,000 times has 15,000 impressions, even if some of those were shown to the same person more than once.
