Analytics

Impressions

Every time a post is displayed on a screen, counting repeat views by the same person.

Impressions are the total number of times a post was displayed. One person scrolling past the same post three times creates three impressions.

Why it matters

Impressions show how often your content was on screen, which matters for frequency-driven goals like brand recall. On their own they can flatter a post, so read them together with reach.

Reading impressions well

Divide impressions by reach to get average frequency. A frequency close to 1 means most people saw the post once. A frequency well above 1 means the platform kept showing it to the same audience, often a sign that a small group engaged heavily.

How AeroReply helps

AeroReply reports impressions and reach per post and per channel, so frequency is one glance away. See analytics →

Questions about Impressions

Pick a question to see the answer.

  • Impressions count every time a post is shown, including repeats. Reach counts the unique people who saw it at least once.

  • Not on their own. Read them with reach and engagement: many impressions from a small reach often means the same people saw the post repeatedly.
