Impressions
What is Impr.?
Impressions count the total number of times your ad is displayed on screen, including repeat views by the same person. If one user sees your ad three times, that counts as three impressions but only one reach. Impressions are the foundation for measuring ad delivery and calculating CPM.
Example
If your campaign shows your ad 50,000 times to 20,000 unique people, you have 50,000 impressions and 20,000 reach. The average frequency is 50,000 / 20,000 = 2.5 views per person.
