What this means
Reach is how many unique people saw your content; impressions is how many times it was displayed. Their ratio is frequency — the average number of times each person saw it. A frequency of 1.5 means the same person typically saw your post 1–2 times. High reach relative to followers means the algorithm served you beyond your following; high frequency can mean a small audience seeing a lot, or ad fatigue setting in.
Recommendations
- For paid campaigns, watch frequency — once it climbs past ~3, incremental cost per result rises sharply.
- Organic reach below followers is normal; a reach above followers signals genuine virality.
- Compare frequency across post types to find content that earns new impressions rather than repeats on the same audience.
Watch out
- Reach and impressions are platform-defined and differ between them — compare like for like.
- High frequency isn't automatically bad; retargeting relies on it. Context decides.
