Ad Impressions refer to the number of times your ad is displayed to a user, regardless of whether it is clicked. It is a foundational metric in digital advertising that reflects ad exposure and potential reach.
Ad platforms automatically track impressions. One impression is counted each time your ad is served, whether to the same or a new user. They are often used to calculate metrics like CPM and Ad Frequency.

Good Ad Impressions indicate strong visibility within your target audience. When paired with a high CTR and conversion rate, they reflect effective reach and ad relevance.
High impressions with low engagement may indicate poor targeting, ad fatigue, or irrelevant creative. They can inflate costs without delivering meaningful results.
Focus on showing ads to users who are most likely to engage or convert, rather than maximizing volume alone.
Monitor whether your impressions are actually seen (not just served) using viewability metrics to improve campaign efficiency.
Avoid showing the same ad too many times to the same user, which can lead to fatigue and reduce effectiveness.
