Impression
An impression is the number of times a piece of content is displayed on social media, regardless of user interaction.
What is an impression?
An impression occurs each time your content appears in someone's social media feed, regardless of whether they interact with it. It's like counting how many people walk past your store window, rather than how many come inside.
Think of impressions as your content's potential reach – the total number of opportunities your post has to capture attention.
Why are impressions important?
Understanding impressions helps you gauge your content's visibility and potential reach. They're a crucial metric for measuring brand awareness and content distribution effectiveness.
While not as action-oriented as engagement metrics, impressions help you understand your content's overall exposure and identify patterns in how your posts spread across social networks.

Here's how to increase your content's visibility:
- Post at optimal times: Schedule when your audience is active
- Use relevant hashtags: Expand your content's reach
