Frequently Asked Questions

How many impressions do I need?

It depends on your goals. For brand awareness, aim for 3-7 impressions per person. For direct response, focus on clicks and conversions rather than total impressions.

Impressions vs Reach: What's the difference?

Impressions count every time your ad is shown, including repeats to the same person. Reach counts only unique users who saw your ad.

Do all impressions have equal value?

No. Viewable impressions where the ad was actually seen are more valuable. Premium placements and above-the-fold positions deliver higher quality impressions.

What are Impressions?

An impression is counted each time your ad is displayed on a user's screen. Impressions are a key metric for brand awareness campaigns and help you understand the potential reach of your advertising budget.

How to Calculate Impressions

Impressions = (Budget / CPM) × 1,000

Example: With a $5,000 budget and $5.00 CPM:

Impressions = ($5,000 / $5.00) × 1,000 = 1,000,000 impressions
