What the result means
Required impressions show how much visibility is needed to reach a defined audience at a chosen repetition level.
Required Impressions = Target Reach × Target Frequency. Estimated Budget = Required Impressions ÷ 1,000 × CPM.
Use reach and frequency together. A campaign can have many impressions but still limited unique audience coverage.
Example calculation
If target reach is 50,000 people and target frequency is 3, required impressions are 150,000. At $6 CPM, estimated budget is $900.
Tips for better results
- Set frequency based on campaign objective.
- Use lower frequency for broad awareness testing.
- Use higher frequency for retargeting or launches.
- Compare current delivery with required impressions daily.
- Monitor CTR and conversion as impressions scale.
