What the result means

Frequency shows repeated exposure. Moderate repetition builds recall, but excessive repetition can reduce performance and increase fatigue.

Ad Frequency = Impressions ÷ Reach; Daily Frequency = Frequency ÷ Campaign Days

Ideal frequency depends on platform, creative quality, campaign goal, and audience size.

Example calculation

500,000 impressions and 100,000 reach produce an average frequency of 5.0.

Tips for better results

  • Refresh creative when frequency rises.
  • Expand audience before scaling spend into a saturated group.
  • Watch CTR and CPA for fatigue signals.
