What is Impressions?

Definition

Impressions are the number of times your ads were shown on screen. One person can generate many impressions.

Impressions explained

Impressions are the basis for CPM and CTR calculations. They do not guarantee that someone looked at the ad, which is why hook rate and engagement matter.

Example

A campaign delivers 120,000 impressions in a week.
