Frequency Report

Use frequency reports to see how many times a tactic's ads were shown to a unique device individually or on average.

The report returns both the frequency or average frequency and impression reach for each tactic:

  • Frequency: number of times an ad from the tactic was seen

  • Impression Reach: number of unique devices in which an ad was displayed

Frequency reports can be scoped to the brand, group, or tactic level. Brand- and tactic-level reports help you identify and understand the best-performing frequencies and average frequency or reach. Based on this information, you can adjust group and tactic frequency caps. See Group Frequency Cap and General Properties (Tactic Editor) for more information.

Brand-level frequency reports can also help you see how many unique devices were reached across campaigns and channels.

For accurate reach and frequency measurements, enable Target only impressions with a user ID on the Device tab in the Tactic Editor to make sure that the tactic can associate impressions to a device and user.

Conversions are only shown for the impressions that occurred during the report's date range. For example, if you pull a report for December 1 to December 10, you might see 10 conversions in the frequency report. Those conversions all came from impressions that delivered between December 1 and December 10. If you pull a Delivery/Performance report for the same time period, you might see 15 conversions, because 5 of the conversions that occurred between December 1 and December 10 are associated to impressions that were served in November but converted in December.
