Frequently Asked Questions

What's the ideal frequency?

3-7 exposures are generally optimal for brand awareness. Monitor CTR and conversion rate—if they decline as frequency increases, you've hit ad fatigue.

Frequency vs Reach: Which is more important?

Awareness needs both reach and frequency. Direct response prioritizes reach. Retargeting often works better with higher frequency on a smaller audience.

How do I reduce frequency?

Set frequency caps in your ad platform, expand targeting to reach more unique users, or reduce budget to lower total impressions.
