It’s important to have a basic understanding of your online campaign performance to help evaluate effectiveness. Here’s a brief overview of key metrics commonly used when analyzing campaign performance. Keep in mind that it’s important to consider industry-specific metric baselines when assessing your campaigns.

Click-through Rate (CTR): This is the ratio of clicks your ad receives to the number of times your ad is shown. The higher the click-through rate the better! A high CTR is a great indicator that your ad was effective with your target audience. 

Cost-per-mille (CPM): This represents the cost for every one thousand impressions, helping gauge the efficiency of your ad by breaking down your cost.

Cost-per-click (CPC): This measures the cost incurred each time a user clicks on your ad.

Reach: This is the total number of unique users who have been exposed to your ad at least once within a specific time frame.

Frequency: The average number of times your ad was shown to each user in a given time frame.

Impressions: This indicates the total number of times your ad has been viewed.

Conversions: These occur when a user completes a desired action or goal, such as downloading, installing, signing up, or making a purchase.

View Throughs: This refers to instances when a user is exposed to your ad but doesn’t initially engage, later converting after exposure.
