What is Reach?

Definition

Reach is the number of unique people who saw your ad at least once. It differs from impressions, which count every view.

Reach explained

Reach is an estimate based on Meta's modelling. For ads delivered in the European Union, the ad library shows estimated reach figures.

Example

An ad with 50,000 impressions reached 18,000 people.
